It did appear quite busy when we arrived, so we assumed it is a local favorite, plus my Japanese coworker had recommended this place to try, although it was under different ownership last time she was here. This isn't your average sit-down restaurant, as you do order and pay before being seated, which we have no complaints regarding.

The Takoyaki was delicious, although lukewarm when served to us, so we had to start eating it quickly before getting cold. Getting into the main courses, although the quality of the ramen was to our satisfaction, we couldn't get over how pricey and small portioned our food was, having only been served one slice of pork, and half an egg in my bowl.

I personally do not plan on coming back, as I know other places which serve larger portions at a much cheaper price. Perhaps it's due to location (Davis)? Not entirely sure...

Hands down the best Ramen I have ever had. Try the tonkatsu. It's amazing. I sometimes come here for comfort food because it's so good. The staff is very friendly. I was speaking with them about my rough day at work and they empathized and gave me a free beer. That's amazing service!

One of my gotos in Davis. You order and pay before sitting down, but I didn't realize it's a legit sit-down so I didn't tip much :/ sorry!

Ramen is one of the best bowls I've ever had for only $20. My favorite soups usually are more plain and don't have a ton of different or fancy ingredients, they're just good ingredients, well-balanced, and cooked for long enough. This wasn't too salty or thick and I didn't get bored from the taste. Noodles had a good bite, pork was tender and had enough, not too fatty. Larger portion size.

It always has a bit of a wait but not long (5-10 mins). Nice interior with dark stained wood.

So good! We'd been craving ramen and had walked by the night before and noted the menu! So glad we went in tonight. Ramen was super flavorful and the jammy egg.... Mmmm! Husband and son loved the pork and we all cleared out plates! Staff was welcoming and explained the menu really well.

This is my third time here and I am so in love with this place. There is something for everyone in your group and the vibe is one of the best in Davis. Allen is always very welcoming and helpful with the menu and drink choices. You can tell he is very passionate about his work and that’s the kind of place I want to keep coming back to. Best gyoza in town by far. Don’t stop at the entrees, get some apps! Squash fries are so good! The servers are very nice too. Good music.

There is a new special every time we’ve been here and we have always left happy.

My second time here for dinner. Brought several of my colleagues with me this time. Seating was a challenge. Food was excellent. They gave a second try at their special pork chop. Still slightly overcooked but much better than the first time around I had it.

So good. My friend had a ramen craving and she said this really hit the spot.

We walked in and were warmly welcomed. You order and pay first before being seated. The employee was very kind and clear with the menu and made sure we had all our questions answered. I like how they have the normal menu along with special items with pictures and descriptions so you know exactly what you are getting. My friends got the ramen and I got the chicken katsu curry plate. The plate is actually massive (can feed two people) and was around $20 so you are definitely getting a good portion for what you paid. The curry was beautifully made with great flavor, accompanying the thinly perfectly fried katsu with juicy chicken in between, all combined to eat with the warm rice. Even though this is mainly a ramen place, they went above and beyond with this katsu.
