Really great service! First time having Ramen and I was impressed. I order spicy Miso ramen. I love spicy food and would have ordered without the egg and more spicy but really liked it. Loved the atmosphere and the service. Waitress helped explain the menu and was very understanding to my lack of knowledge. Would definitely try again

Ramen was delicious! I ordered the garlic one with extra egg and bok choy. Best decision especially the egg.

Fusion alright. Service was better than the last time I was here. The vibe is much much Asian looking. My kids loved it!

I think the food was good and the service was also pretty fast. The chicken with curry was alright just a little bit dry. I really liked the chicken karaage and the takoyaki. We went during happy hour so the drinks and appetizers were cheaper (but still pretty expensive). There wasn't a wait, but we went at 5:30 pm and there was still quite a bit of people so I expect during meal times there might be a wait. Overall I thought the food was good but a bit expensive.

Food was simply phenomenal. We were in the area and decided to pop in and give them a try. We have been to a majority of ramen places in San Antonio and left unimpressed. This place just unseated Ramen Tatsuya as our favorite Raman spot. I had the Bakudan Salad. The serving size was plenty and I was full before I finished. My son picked the Garlic Tonkotsu and added the San Antonio bomb. The flavors paired perfectly. The spice level was not overwhelming. By far, the best broth I have tasted. Staff was very friendly and informative and I enjoyed not only the fun atmosphere but watching anime in the background.

Ramen was our comfort food after an awesome hike and a chilly morning! Located at the Rim, somehow I managed to grab a parking spot right up near the restaurant. Direct parking is limited, but there is a parking structure nearby. Hostess was not too friendly- no greeting, not much of a happy demeanor, and wanted to seat us up by open door where it was super chilly, but we opted to move away. Nice interior decor, pink overhead lights, small interior, but cozy. Our server Brooke was friendly. We ordered a kettle of green tea to warm us up and I opted for the garlic tonkotsu. Anytime I try a new ramen place, my go to is to always try their tonkotsu- their menu stated thick noodles. A big beautiful bowl of ramen arrived. Broth was flavorful, but not that garlicky. It needed a kick, so I ordered their chili paste, 50 cent extra. I still didn't feel it was spicy enough. It would be nice to have complimentary condiments at the table available like chili paste, soy sauce, salt/pepper etc. Noodles did not appear thick to me , when I think of thick of noodles, I think of udon. Checked in with the server, and she confirmed they were thick. Also, just be aware, their noodles are served al dente. Overall, good, but I've had better. A little on the pricier side too.

One word to describe this place is delicious. Made a decision to eat here after shopping at some of the Rim stops and I loved it. The place is elegantly decorated and was not crowded or noisy. I sat outside because it was one of this rare great weather days (not too hot, not too cold). The waiter was very friendly and answered food questions patiently. Food also came out fairly quickly, which was great. I decided on the Vegetarian Ramen for $15.75. I did feel prices were a bit on the high-end, but the portion of Ramen was large, and I had enough leftover for the next day. Place, feel and food were perfect.

Super great place if you're a ramen lover in the RIM area! The food was a generous portion, and came very fast! Our waitress was very kind, and gave excellent recommendations for all four of us. The vibe on the insane gave cyber Tokyo Cowboy straight out of a movie. Almost like an underground bar in a movie / it was really cool. Definitely will be back.

This place has a really cool vibe, the place is always busy with lots of customers, dimmed lighting and they always have good music playing. I really like the theme that they have going. When you step into this place its like stepping into some little street restaurant on some back street in Asia. The staff is always very friendly and your food is usually served fresh, fast and cooked perfect. I always have to twist my order with special request and they always seem to get it perfect (as requested). I really enjoy going to eat here because the food is consistently good, fresh and always full of flavor. They have the best broth and I loved the wings too; they always cooked perfect and tasted great!
