The food is really good, the service is great. I liked everything I tried. The only thing I would improve would be the space in the back, where large groups can fit. It’s in front of the bar, but there are also some things of storage and it made a little bit of visual noise, however, it is not bad, maybe it’s because I pay a lot of attention to the spaces and decoration.

I love this place! Their ramen is always a comfort food. It's a restaurant where I know I can bring my family and friends and we'll have a great time with the relaxing atmosphere, chill vibe, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. A must go to Japanese restaurant in Ditmars!

5/5 stars! Drinks, appetizers and ramen were delicious. Great for a lunch/dinner meal specially for the winter. Would definitely go again! Also very busy.

The Uni cream ramen was unreal! The best ramen I’ve ever had! The amount was big and I ended up super full but also extremely satisfied with all the food. The price was ok like $$, and we did the outdoor space for our dinner during the end if summer. Will be back again for delicious ramen. Highly recommend this place for ramen lover and also highly recommend the Uni cream ramen!!!

A charming spot that I was led into by smell alone- and to be allured by aroma on Ditmars is a complement of itself. The service was sweet and helpful. We started with the popcorn chicken and Takoyaki. The 🐙 was truly unique and cooked great. The popcorn chicken was lacking in flavor but the citrus combination created a nice taste. Now onto the main event!! The Hinomaru ramen just called to me. I was delighted by the sweet mixing of poached egg and bone broth- super unique and delicious!! Pork cooked to perfection. Spice level was perfect. Left nothing but clean bowls and full stomachs. Wish there was a coat rack so I didn’t have to put mine on the floor. Great overall. Looking forward to the next time!

Overall great experience, ramen dishes were pleasant. I tried the lychee slushie which was a bit too sweet. It’s a nice outdoor experience to people watch on a cool summer day. There was no wait time and food arrived hot.

Nice and cozy setting. My lemongrass ramen was way too salty and pack with meat. Others did enjoy their food. Drinks are good. Rock shrimps are great.

I have been a loyal customer for years! This used to be one of my favorite spots in Astoria. However, overtime prices have slowly gone up while quality has gone down. I have a friend who got food poisoning a while back after eating here. I insisted it couldn’t be from their food until I suffered the same fate. Their “Grade Pending” sign seems fair. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll return after my recent experience. With that said, the service is always kind & efficient. One star less for atmosphere cause I loved being able to eat at the counter pre-Covid. Now it’s used to hold to-go orders.

Do not come here if you are pregnant or have any back issues. The only sitting options are tiny stools. I left with terrible pelvic pain and it ruined my night. I think the business keeps these awful stools on purpose to prevent people from staying long. We got the check as soon as we finished our ramen, even though we still had unfinished appetizers and sake. Interesting how quickly they brought the check when we were trying to get their attention all night and had to ask 3x for glasses of water. They do not prioritize customer service, and I guess they don't have to since they have a large volume of people coming in. Separately, the ramen has drastically changed since covid and is not remotely comparable to how it used to be. It is still decent ramen, but not worth the horrible dining experience if you dine in.

Was too disgusted to even try the food. My cup of water had a dirty rim and particles inside of it. I asked for another cup of water and the next after had particles also. Ironically, my friend and I noticed the grade was pending and joked “what if the have flying roaches back there”. I then looked up the restaurants last food grade which was a “C”. Come to find out, we were not exaggerating and they received a C for having evidence of MICE AND LIVE ROACHES near the food.They were evaluated back to back and failed each time. At that point, I had to leave not only because of the rating, but because of my own personal experience. Once I got up to leave, a server got up and said I couldn’t leave because the order was already placed. I reminded her that we only sat down maybe 10 minutes ago and that I was informing her that I was informing her that I would be leaving as a courtesy. I didn’t want to make a scene in the restaurant and let her know in front of other patrons of their unacceptable rating. It wasn’t until my friend who is lighter complexed said “Goodnight” that she backed off. We ended up going to Botte across the street. Will not be back!
