This is a great place to come on a date or with your kids. You can “build your own” ramen and with full fodmap and gf options available, everyone is happy. We have a family of fussy eaters and they all found something they loved (yes they do yummy hot chips as well). Decor is fun and it’s a lively venue. Staff are always friendly!
