"Host and women server was rude. Food is good especially seafood ramen . Was not crowded at lunch time only 3-4 tables but host ask me to not seat on the table until my friend coming. We asking her is we can skim on the oil on the top and she told us can not cause broth was pre make . But I do own the restaurant before and sell ramen too, I can skim on the oil but can't skim completely. You can say that to your customers and they will understand. I think she need to re training again ."

"The place was a little small and there was a slight wait outside, but the flavors in my ramen made up for it! They do not have a chicken substitute option, so I got shrimp instead. Wasn’t a fan of the sexy mama roll, should have stuck with my go-to the Shaggy Dog. Server was very attentive. I’d try this spot again on at a calmer time!"

"I really tried to give this ramen restaurant a chance. I really did. Which included holding off this review for a few months while I went back and tried, and tried. This review is for both the Bellaire location and the Silber location. Got the tonkotsu spicy ramen at the Bellaire location. Extremely salty that I had a head rush. No flavor other than salty. I feel like this ramen single-handedly gave me my high blood pressure (joking joking). They barely filled up the bowl which was okay because the only way I was able to finish the ramen was by putting some of my water in it. Atmosphere was amazing, service was amazing. But simply cannot go back because of the saltiness. Now, as far as the Silber location, I stay in the area, so I really wanted to make this my go to restaurant. Immediately when you walk in, you are hit with a strong sulfur smell (basically smells like someone is passing gas constantly). Likely coming from the restroom drains. Which is a quick fix. I used to work in a restaurant as well. Anytime it got that smell, we just poured half a jug of bleach down the drain in the restrooms. Problem solved. Unfortunately, even though I know the culprit and how innocuous it is (because the restaurant I worked in was brand spanking new, and it was literally not due to lack of cleanliness), it still makes one look at the restaurant a little careless on the cleanliness especially when there’s no countermeasures employed (I.E. Febreeze, Lysol, no bleach smell, no Fabuloso smell, no plug-in, incense, air freshener, leaving the door open, etc). Everybody knows I like the tonkotsu, but tried the spicy miso ramen for fear of saltiness of the tonkotsu, and it was an okay flavor, just not the flavor for me. It was a little sweet and I did not like it. Ramen was super cheap, so I charged it to the game. Yet again, tried to give the restaurant another chance. I went back, but this time I ordered to go. Finally got my tonkotsu spicy. Opened it and… the smell of the bamboo shoots were so RANCID. It was so rancid that it did not even smell like bamboo anymore, it smelled more so like apple cider vinegar. I ordered this for my lunch at work, and yes, it was kept in a refrigerator. So I decided to take out the bamboo shoots and still try it. It wasn’t as salty as the other location. The pork was hard meaning it was probably old. It stunk up my whole work area with the smell of the rancid bamboo shoots. It was on par, or even worse than warming up fish. The reason I feel that the quality of the food was so bad is because I have ordered to go from my favorite ramen restaurant, kept the ramen in the fridge for two days, warmed it up, and it still tasted just as good. No bad smell or anything. Wish the broth was a little creamy, but it’s more so water-based. Although I see major potential in this restaurant chain, I can no longer waste my time on this restaurant anymore or any of its various locations."

"Cozy little place, and the service is excellen! The food, however, lacks oomph; it's bland and uninspiring. One dish was certainly good: the Brussel sprouts! The miso Ramen soup was lukewarm, not hot . I was not impressed with the food!"
