“ Fantastic tonkatsu ramen, chicken yakameshi, and steamed gyoza. Best Asian food we have had in Playa. The waitress from Argentina was so friendly. ”
“ This is by far the best Ramen I've had in Playa del Carmen. I'd even say it's the best Ramen outside of Japan and some of the capital cities. Massively underrated hidden gem let's help it become a Playa del Carmen go-to. The sushi is also super fresh, everything is done with great attention to detail. Quality-price ratio is also fair. 5 stars all around! ”
“ Decent ramen. Portion size is good, but not huge. Service is a little slow. ”
“ Have been here many times and every time the food is consistently good, fresh and served with a smile. Excellent poke for a great price. Have had several other items on the menu which are also great. ”
“ I ordered the vegan ramen for delivery. It was VERY delicious! One of the best Asian soups I've had! Very flavorful, not bland at all and packaged perfectly. I would order again and I will try other vegan dishes in the future. ”
“ Everyone was very nice! My order was good. And they actually had Udon thick noodles! Very happy with my order! Definitely suggest coming here if you are in Playa Del Carmen! ”
“ I had the fried rice with tofu. Very delicious. Also the iced green tea hit the spot for a warm eve. Very good service. ”
“ I came early in the evening, so I can't talk about atmosphere but the music was nice and relaxing and the place is clean and organized. I had one the best gyozas I ever had. And I lived in Japan. It was the steamed version, they gave it a little crust on one side and steamed it to perfection, the sauce that came with it was perfect too. I had the spicy ramen and the broth was divine, I could live off of it, the noodles were perfectly cooked and the chasu was delicious. Everything was fabulous and I KNOW, u won't find such prices. Can't wait to return to have poke and sushi. Go sit there, it's really a good place ”
