   The OBON Ramen bowl was outstanding, as was the pork bun! The Shishito peppers were definitely not cooked enough and our rainbow roll was average. The margarita was also excellent… We will return again.

   We arrived before the restaurant became busy and had to ask for a server after being sat for almost 10 minutes without acknowledgement. The wings were not as they have been before, but the rest of the meal was much enjoyed.

   The servers at Obon at the grove are always incredible. Misha is amazing and although we are regulars to Obon, she helped us to find new, tasty items on the menu. Highly recommend to anyone who loves great food!

   I am so sad to share that I no longer enjoy Obon, the food is just not prepared well anymore and the menu continues to shrink. Most of the staff are transient so they hardly know what is on the menu or what to recommend. I will not be dining with you again...

   No real service, pretty much the experience of fast food with table seating. Sushi was bland and poorly crafted. Appetizer dumplings gummy with the flavor and consistency of something stored too long and n the home freezer. 7 pm on Saturday night and the reservations certainly weren’t necessary; servers barely going through the motions. We have given this place several tries because it’s right down the street, but I’n moving on. Experiences in the past have ranged from rudely bungled reservations to stomach distress (the rolls). I wanted to love the place. I just can’t believe they’re still in business.

    We really have liked going here but the last several times the service is just horrible. Tonight we made an early rsvp, 4:15 for 5 people…literally only 2-3 other tables…took forever for them to seat us..,then the waiters kept walking by…finally at 4:50…40 minutes later…we left because…the waiter never came back, no water, no drink orders…let alone food orders.,.just waiting for 30 minutes. They were not short staffed…just not interested in taking care of customers. Unfortunately, we will have to find a new sushi/ramen place.

    Each experience I’ve had at Obon in the last six months has been worse than the last. I used to visit regularly because of great food and reasonable prices. Recently, however, the prices have increased, and the service is poor enough that it affects the food. It was clear the ramen had sat out too long before being served - the noodles were mush. The last few visits, it’s taken between 40 minutes and an hour to get food on the table. I don’t think I’ll be returning after this last visit. There’s a tangible disconnect between front and back of house. Every employee we encounter, from the hostesses to the servers, seem confused and poorly trained.

    Our waitress was nice and the food was fine. Too bad it was paced so terribly. Our friend didn’t receive his meal until after our ramens got cold, we ate cold ramen…then his meal arrived. Maybe just a bad night?

    Really like your food but service was below par (I understand the staffing issues). Very Slow service. Pricing was extremely high for the amount of food we got. That was consensus amongst the table of 4.

    The only thing preventing a 5 star overall rating was that the timing of the food coming to the table was off.

    We go to the Quarter location often. Last night dinner was not good. The ramen noodles were clumped and mushed together I couldn't eat half. The pork was black. Our sushi took over 40 mins for the first roll then 20 mins between each roll. We got our drinks 25 mins after ordering and after our appetizer. The dumplings were cold. We watched our food sit waiting to be expedited. It was the worst experience we've had there. It's normally one of our favorites.

    Busy place! Food was very good, but service like so many places was slow. Don’t know if it was servers or the kitchen. They had our reservation details correct with a special request.

    This was our first time at this location and it was as good as the one in Kierland. When going to Oban we know we will get consistently good food, friendly and attentive service and nice ambiance. We tend to get the same things…sushi rolls and/ or buns and then the Oban or Tonkotsu ramen. This time was no exception and I t was all delish. Our friends got the gyoza and the Kanto beef and enjoyed both. Highly recommend a visit.
