We arrived at the end of a very long travel day and was grateful for a great spot to relax with some great food. We were a group of 6 and everyone loved their meals! Great menu here! Second time eating here. Best ramen in town. Mafe was great with service too! :) Try them out 🤙🏻 The pork dumplings fried in chilli oil were AMAZING, I'd go there again just for the dumplings. They were not that spicy, they were perfect in every way. However, I would not recommend the ramen there, it was mid at best. The meat especially was a huge fail, the texture was like a jelly and flavour was very meaty. Would not eat that again. The drinks like lemonade and juice were WAY too sweet, it was so sweet that it was impossible to finish. That's why the rating is pretty low from me.

We had a few items from the menu and must say there were all delicious. The sliders especially, were top notch. Kim was super helpful with any questions we had and we're definitely come back.

Excellent food as always. Lovely atmosphere, good air conditioning, and great music. Waly’s service was outstanding — he truly made our stay more enjoyable and went out of his way to see us happy. We laughed so much and left with big smiles thanks to him
