Really good Ramen! So happy we found this little gem. Lots of Japanese goodies and drinks. Small space but very nice and not crowded.

A small simple restaurant. Service was friendly and food was brought out quickly. Chicken katsu was crisp and juicy topped with tasty curry. Portions were more than sufficient. Tonkatsu ramen was delicious and quality is comparable to ramen restaurants in Vancouver. Agadashi tofu was covered with tasty sauce. We contemplated going back during our short visit here. Pleasantly surprised with the food which exceeded my expectations.

Enjoyed this cozy restaurant on a cold, rainy day. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. Server was efficient and kind. The vegetarian ramen was very flavorful. Noodles were so tasty, veggies were tender and the sweet fried tofu was delicious. Curry croquettes were also delicious. Several vegetarian/vegan options on the menu. Highly recommend.

Wow, the first authentic asian place I encountered in my one week trip from nanaimo to port alberni to tofino. Run by Japanese people and you can feel the vibe through decorations and manners.After having some fake ramens, we especially enjoyed this place which is almost on par with Vancouver ramen shops. Black garlic oil is delicious as always and the spicy one is not spicy at all. The regular chashu is very tough sadly, but the pork belly one was very tender. I gave this place 5 stars despite the tough chashu since this is the best that you can get in the Nanaimo area.We also had the fried oysters which were yummy but quite expensive.

Delicious and authentic. Very kind and attentive staff, despite how busy it was when we arrived. Absolutely recommend coming here! I had the Udon and it was full of flavor and the texture of the noodles was on point.

Overall a great experience.. friendly greeting as I entered, server was helpful and nice, and the ramen was delicious.My only suggestion would be to add a bit more broth to the bowls, which could add a bit more value for the price.Definitely worth a try if you like ramen and live in Nanaimo

Hidden Gem for sure.Their ramen is always so good.The yakisoba is occasionally hit and miss, with the katsu being over cooked.Takoyaki is one of my favesBeing in the restaurant really takes me back to Japan.
