Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes for a casual, low-pressure first date — the setting is relaxed and the shared ramen-plus-sushi format works well if you want an easy conversation meal rather than a long, formal dinner.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes — most guests walk in. Arrive earlier on weekends or be ready for a short wait during prime dinner hours, especially for parties of four or more.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — the menu has approachable bowls and rolls, tables are close but manageable, and it works best for school-age kids and up rather than toddlers during busy dinner periods.
Best For
Better for: Groups who want hearty, comfort-leaning ramen with the flexibility to share sushi rolls at the same table
Skip if: You’re seeking ultra-specialized ramen with highly refined broths or a quiet, lingering date-night environment
