Great spot for dinner on a cold night. Service was impeccable and the ramen was delicious. And hi-chew at the end was the cherry on top.

Food was delicious! I had the ramen salad which was bountiful and very fresh and tasty. In fairness to them we got there just before closing so we had to do take out so I can’t really talk to the service.

OK the pork belly was really good and the food came out quickly. But the egg was a little cold, a bit weird. Spam musubi also tasty.

We are so glad we came across this place while we’re mindlessly strolling around SantaBarbara downtown. The Ramen, rolls, and hot chicken all of them are so good. They’re so flavorful, tasty and right amount of spiciness. The service too is top notch, we were having our meal after the closing time but all the staff were really patient! Totally recommended.

I was in Santa Barbara for 5 days and ate here at least one meal a day. The ramen is so flavorful and came out really fast. Sushi was also fresh and takoyaki was great as well. Highly recommend this place

Servers are friendly and helpful. I appreciated their positive vibe and thoughtful interactions. The food was rich and full of flavor. The portion is incredible. We went for dinner so the atmosphere was vibrant, chill and inviting.

We were in the mood for ramen while passing through Santa Barbara, and this spot hit the mark! The ambiance was cozy with heaters that made it perfect for a chilly evening. The Black Ramen with garlic was rich and comforting, while the Red Ramen brought just the right amount of spice. Happy hour drinks were a great addition, and the friendly staff really made the experience memorable. If you're ever in Santa Barbara craving a flavorful bowl of ramen, definitely stop by!

Veggie ramen was rich and flavorful. The broth was creamy and packed with fresh veggies. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff made sure we were having a good time. Highly recommend!
