This place was the absolute cutest for anime lovers! The venue is quite small. There is a bar style seating along the mural wall, complete with some of your favorite anime characters, a communal table in the center along with booths to the right. The food was so good! We got one of every bowl available in our group and made sure to try them all. We got all bowls with the recommended toppings and had tempura and takoyaki for appetizers. The line was quite long and we waited for well over an hour but if you have the time give them a try!

A Hidden Gem in Katy Asian Town If you’re craving authentic Japanese ramen, this spot is a must-visit. Cozy vibes, warm lighting, and the rich aroma of simmering broth make it feel like a little escape. Portions are generous, and they even let you split a bowl, perfect for sharing and budget-friendly. The Miso broth was my favorite—ultra creamy and full of depth. They also offer topping recommendations for each broth, making it easy to customize your bowl. Their chili paste is a game changer—spicy, flavorful, and served on the side so you can control the heat (or share without sacrificing flavor). The menu also features a variety of appetizers, from crispy tempura and takoyaki to flavorful skewers. And the decor? Think anime walls and cozy aesthetics, making it an awesome spot to check in. Service is fast, welcoming, and super attentive—the staff will even walk you through the menu if needed. Whether you’re a ramen lover or an anime fan, this little spot is 100% worth a visit!

A fantastic Ramen spot! I’ve been told it is very authentic ramen by people who have visited Japan! The ramen is not overly rich or fatty yet it is still full of flavor! The chicken karage has nice large pieces of chicken and it’s crispy but not greasy. That’s kind of the theme with this spot good flavor without being super heavy. Atmosphere is simply but effective and the booths are nice and cozy. Overall a great spot

Ah, ramen... How much I love you. This is a very cute, small place, and there's only a few options to choose from. I got the takoyaki and it was so delicious. The ramen was pretty great as well, and we got a ramune float which was something that I've never seen before. I do which there were more things to choose from, but all the things I ordered were really good. I don't remember the waitress that we had, but I think she was new because the service was kind of lacking. But she was really sweet, so we didn't fault her for that. We'll definitely come again some day!

I’d like to add that when we first went in,Saturday night, Anne was our server and it took a little bit of time for our order to be checked out, not blaming her since she was the only one checking people in and also serving the food, adding another server would be best for taking less time on ordering and also on waiting for the food to be served as well, she was the only one there that served and took our orders, overall she was very nice and helpful. Food wise I would say if you know what you want and know how to mix things up well as putting the ingredients together you’re very well up to try it on your own and if you’re just brand new into it, I would say to base off of the recommendations that they got for the broth and the the noodles,their takoyaki is the best. The atmosphere feels like the place itself is divided into three different things, the wood seating isle,middle isle and the facing to the wall side idle, I’d recommend two seating isles it could be best if they had the same thing from the right side which is the wood seating face to face seats to have that as well to the other side of the wall just so that it’s not a lot of difference there and leave the middle isle as it is just so it’s also a very interesting and it’s a very good way to see as u enter.

This ramen spot has great ambiance. The ramen was very flavorful I did the create your own and it was delicious. The appetizers were okay I tried the chicken skin and it had no flavor. I wish they would season it before frying. We ordered a chicken and a pork ramen and both tasted amazingly. I would definitely visit this location again.

Good place not great. I think it would be a really good lunch spot. The broth was a little Bland but the pork is massive. The chicken karage was crispy and good portion but needed more seasoning
