#2
Hanami Ramen
8.1

Tonkotsu ramen, Spicy miso ramen, Karaage
What makes it special: No-frills ramen bowls with a focused menu and fast payoff.
8.0

Sashimi Bento Box, Poke Bowl, Sushi Bento Box
What makes it special: Bento-and-poke focus that keeps sushi meals efficient and consistent.
Worthy Picks
7.6
A small-format sushi bar that doubles as a casual drinks-and-snacks hangout, with a karaoke stage that shifts the vibe from dinner to late-night. It’s best for groups who want a fun room and simple bites rather than a precision sushi experience.
Must-Try Dishes:
Takoyaki, Gyoza, Chicken wings
What makes it special: Sushi-bar snacks with a karaoke-friendly late-night setup.
7.5
A late-hours comfort menu that mixes ramen and fried chicken with a milk-tea counter, making it useful when most kitchens nearby are closed. Go in with a snack-and-sip mindset—best results come from simple items and late-night convenience over finesse.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken ramen, Popcorn chicken, Brown sugar bubble milk
What makes it special: Late-night ramen + fried chicken with milk tea in one stop.
