What a wonderful addition to Bown Crossing! I went with my mom who had been in twice before. The waiter was great, he remembered her order from her last visit when she mentioned she liked what she had but wasn’t sure which it was. The Idaho roll was excellent, I’ll be having it again. Bright, clean atmosphere.

one of the best ramen options for the Boise area. staff was nice and helpful despite being busy. we liked the chicken karage as a good appetizer. the tonkotsu broth was good but chashu was thin and overcooked for our tastes. marinated eggs were good and a nice soft texture. the spicy beef ramen was more of a fusion ramen with cilantro and lime, interesting! they do have shichimi but you have to ask.

Good food and great service are the highlights of the place. Saturday afternoon as fairly busy, but got the table and food rather fast. Ordered Gyzo, spicy Ramen, kids Ramen, California roll and spicy tuna roll and a lemon boba tea.

The latest ramen place in town. Wish there were more options for vegetarians but the only veggie ramen they had tasted really good. Friendly staff and great ambience.

incredible service for being so busy! I love the state street location so I was happy to see one opened closer to my side of town. The pork bao bun was very tasty, and so was the black garlic ramen! Haven’t experienced a lot of ramen outside of Boise, so this is a winner for me!

I have been coming here for awhile but will likely stop due to their new staff! To begin with, I get water with no ice while other are getting ice. Next the waitress is harassing me to pay so I did despite wanting to order another drink! I only tipped her about 10% due to the poor service. I would have wiped more as usual but she seemed to rush me. I said thank you after paying and she did not bother saying anything just walked away.

Not one to write these but it was so bad I have to. Waste of $50, the ramen was so bland and the sushi was beyond sub par. Bummer, wanted to like it. Would give it zero stars if I could, front door not working was the real cherry on top.
