The atmosphere is nice, the food is really good, and the servers are great! I'd highly recommend the Duck Ramen, but all of the ramen look delicious. Their karaage is also very crispy and delicious as well. I was in Colorado for a week and ended up eating here twice because I absolutely loved the food. Would highly recommend trying this restaurant!"

Another reviewer notes, "We LOVE having this restaurant in our little town of Golden! Killer happy hour (you must get the soup dumplings and blistered shishito peppers), with house-made cocktails. Ramen is delicious, we get the braised chicken ramen (spicy ???!). Always great 90’s hip hop and r&b playing ?? Fun atmosphere. Casual."
