Did my research, found this moderately priced place an uber ride away. The menu sold us with the array of Japanese alcohol and that it was a straight forward Ramen shoppe. Instantly noticed the Anime, huge fan (2 out of 4 were some of my favourites). The drinks were superb - me, the Akashi (ume) [Japanese whiskey, delicate, sweet] and the lady had a Ringo Spritz (made with a Japanese gin). I did sample and I am no fan of Gin, but you couldn't taste it. It's like it never existed. Had the Chicken Karaage [Friend Chicken Bites]. Absolutely moist and tender. For main course, I had Tanjun Pork Ramen and I happily, for once, ate the whole darn bowl. There no skimming on the Pork Belly. 5 Fat slices. Birthday lady had Classic Udon. They also supplied her with a small little Custard (dessert: Kasutādo) with a coffee-caramel sauce. We're not fans of coffee flavour, but it was amazing nonetheless. We've already made plans to come back (by ourselves or together). \n\nOn another note, the atmosphere is amazing. We went on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't crowded. We did make reservations. It wasn't loud with the people around us, just generic chatter and intense conversations. It's a dimly lit place, relaxing. Definitely a place I can happily see people going alone and enjoying the company. Waitstaff is kind, and are very knowledgeable to the menu (I understand not everyone is, so I am aware this could change).","submittedDateTime":"2023-11-22T21:36:40Z","rating":{"overall":5,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"nickname":"Ampersandrea","isVip":null,"profileColor":"PLUM","initials":"A","simpleModerationState":"APPROVED","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"highlights":[{"startIndex":555,"endIndex":568,"__typename":"ReviewHighlight"}],"__typename":"DishReview"},{"reviewId":"OT-1065970-45384-100191756440","text":"Loved the drinks and food.

My wife and I went there for the ramen but we ordered some nigiri sushi for an appetizer. We had the yellowtail (hamachi) and tuna belly (toro). Had we realized how good the sushi was we would have just ordered sushi. We eat sushi a lot, and we were even in Japan for most of this past November (eating local cuisine, of course), and yet this was some of the best sushi we've ever had. We were very surprised.\n\nI had the spicy red bean ramen with pork. It was very good. I'm not a connoisseur of ramen so I could not say how it stacks up overall. However, it definitely was in the same league as the ramen I had in Japan. The marinated egg was particularly good -- when I return to the restaurant I will try to see if I can get two (happy to pay extra!). \n\nMy wife had the butter chicken ramen and thought it was good but a little bland. There are a lot of ramen options on the menu so my advice would be to think carefully about how much spice you want and perhaps opt for options that are a little more on the spicy side. The \"spicy\" ramen I ate had just the right amount of zing, and it's hard to imagine that it would be too spicy for most people.\n\nI also tried one of their premium sakes and liked it a lot. I switched to a a draft beer after that because I was concerned that the sake was too tasty and I didn't want to keep downing them on a weeknight. \n\nThe ambiance was nice, with five screens playing anime movies or series on one wall (no sound). I thought that was a nice touch for a western restaurant serving Japanese food. And when I got the bill I thought that it was quite reasonable for the quality of the meal and drinks.","rating":{"food":5,"service":4,"ambience":4,"value":4,"noise":"QUIET","overall":4,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":5,"nickname":"Harley","metro":{"metroId":7,"displayName":"Greater Boston","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"H","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"PUMPKIN","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":null,"submittedDateTime":"2025-04-18T11:58:37Z","dinedDateTime":"2025-04-17T17:30:00-04:00","type":"OPENTABLEVERIFIED","fromPreviousConcept":false,"highlight":null,"photos":[],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"},{"reviewId":"OT-1065970-88708-100005457930","text":"Great menu, service exceptional, food and presentation amazing.
