If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (22 reviews). Newer reviews score better than older ones (5.0 recent against 4.4 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average.

    It’s hot as hell in there! You can’t have crappy AC when you’re a restaurant in Florida that serves hot soup. I feel sorry for the staff.

    What an amazing experience! We didn’t have to wait long for a party of 6. Our server was Angel and he was amazing! Attentive and great personality! I ordered the kids meal which I was surprised at the portion and amount of food it brought, my boys loved it! I ordered the mild Spicy chicken ramen and it was delicious!!!! Super yummy and filling. I’m definitely coming back and I can see why it’s always filled with customers. So good! Thank you!

    I've been missing Japan lately. This place hit the spot and made me miss it even more. Angel provided phenomenal service, was kind, and attentive. He even humored my Japanese! Ask for Angel, he will provide top tier service!

    We showed up with four grown ups and a baby in a stroller. The front said there would be a wait of 20-30mins for an inside table and we agreed to wait. We sat at a table outside in the heat choosing from empty five tables outside. The front desk came 30mins later and tried to act if we were gonna want to stay in the heat outside with a baby and autistic kid and eat hot ramen soup for what we had come to eat. She gave a nonsense reason for her thinking we wanted to eat outside after waiting already the whole time in the hot weather. She said that the stroller wasn't going to fit inside at a table. We told her that we gladly would had slept the stroller away from tables. The front receptionist has a lack of consideration and she attended several tables outside therefore not making believable the reason to think that we wanted to eat outside. Good food, bad service.

    My food was was amazing and the service was perfect, thank you Angel.

  • June 26, 2026

    I enjoy eating here. We come all the way from Cocoa.

  • June 25, 2026

    Food was fantastic and so delicious. I got the Blushing Blossom, so good, definitely recommend, and my friend got the Birria Ramen. It was so good, we finished it within 30 minutes. The fries are also delicious and our server Angel was amazing and very attentive. All in all, top tier experience. The place is amazing, the only complaint I have is the flies but that’s my fault I sat outside

  • June 25, 2026

    Shay was amazing!

  • June 24, 2026

    Carl and the whole staff was great! Best ramen in Orlando hands down! Try the garlic rice and thank you for having such a great kids meal!
