    Wonderful food. We met some people skiing from Boulder and Des Moines, and they told us how good it was. Will definitely add it to our list of restaurants we go to.

    Delicious, and no reservation needed on this particular Friday night, but not sure if that's always the case. Good options for vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters alike.

    We went during it's "soft opening" a number of months ago and were not impressed. But since it was their soft opening and we knew they were still figuring things out, we decided to try it again. Their broth was much thicker and rich than before and had a much better flavor. The meat is cooked well and you get a good portion of noodles as well. If you are a fan of ramen, I recommend trying it.

    It was everything I wanted it to be food wise. He ramen was delicious and I felt like it was reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. Give it a try if you're looking for something easy, fun and new.

    I'm in Omaha frequently for work and this is my go to place. Food is excellent. Top notch ingredients and excellent value for high quality food. The Korean style short ribs are out of this world.

    Ordered bbq pork ramen. It was very well-prepared. I cannot fault the workmanship, care and labor in it. Portion was just right. Not too heavy, but filling. But liquid volume to richness ratio was a little too low, making it too rich. I wish they had more liquid to balance it out, and a bit too salty. Again, adding more liquid would have solved the problem. The water tasted funny. Making the dining experience unpleasant.

    I think I may have had my expectations set a little too high, because I really really really wanted to love it....but it was just pretty good. I was super excited for the pork belly app and was pretty underwhelmed, it was very greasy and had an acrid/burnt taste. I had the duck fried rice as my meal and while it was pretty good, I found myself envious of other's ramen. I will definitely go back to try a sammy, as that is what I really wanted to get when I went but they don't serve them at dinner.

    Took my girlfriend here at her request and we loved it, though she regretted picking something spicy. In the restaurant's defense, it was clearly labeled "super" spicy.
