This very small intimate restaurant was a nice surprise. Luckily snagged a last minute resy for dinner & was not disappointed. The service was good for a place that only seats 12. Food is prepared in front of you & comes out quickly. The roasted potatoes were really delicious, seasoned well &had a nice kick to them. Served really hot & fresh, the shallot mayo complimented this dish really well. The tunakotsu was delicious, packed with flavor, ingredients & tuna tasted fresh. Not overly heavy broth, noodles were cooked perfectly. A pleasant surprise. The okonomi was extremely delicious, a combination of fish & chicken broth. I throughly enjoyed how fresh and delicious this dish was. The only downside is that it came with about 2 pieces of tuna, could have used a couple pieces more. I believe the menu changes daily so don't except any reoccurring options. I would dine here again.
I was very happy to see a reservation pop up for YUJI ramen. The restaurant is very small and they take walk-ins but it seems like they turn away most people by 7 pm. We got the eggplant and the salad appetizers. The eggplant was great - I loved the crunchy bits and the miso. The salad was pretty bitter and while it had orange pieces in it, I didn't think the sweetness from that and the saltiness from the cheese quite balanced out the bitterness of the salad. The ramen was very good but slightly salty. I loved the fish chashu and loved the thin noodles. The noodles were perfectly cooked and had a great bite to them. They also have Dassai Blue ($10 per glass) which went great with the food. I enjoyed my experience and would definitely bring my parents here.
Came with a group of four and got the potatoes and karakotsu. Potatoes were very delicious with roe, mayo, and bonito flakes. Ramen was delicious and nice to see a ramen place with seafood based broths.
Was excited to check this place out since I hadn't had fish-based broth before. It's a very quaint/small space. Seats 12. It wasn't packed when we went over the weekend but definitely best to make a reservation-we grabbed 2 seats at the bar seating. Started with the roasted potato which I truly did not expect to be that impressed by, but really was. It had such a great texture to the potatoes and the sauce/flavoring/toppings really complemented each other well. Ordered the spicy tuna, which was one of the brothless option. This was done nicely, the noodles were a wonderful texture and the flavor profile was what I was expecting from this dish. Also got the tunakotsu, which was the fish-flavored broth with tuna. This was pretty good, I don't know that I would necessarily need to ever have it again. We grabbed a poached egg on top, which really amplified the flavor. The sake prices were super reasonable and were a nice addition to the meal, as well. Service was quick and not cumbersome at all. Overall, different ramen experience worth trying.
If you like seafood, this is the place to be! Very chic and cozy vibes, the small restaurant does comfortably sit a number of people. Came here on a weeknight and we were sat without a reservation. The Orion beer was very cold and I opted for the karakotsu ramen. Really delicious seafood broth with a great warming and kind of spicy taste. Lots of tonkatsu style tuna in with the noodles and I actually really liked heat and umami. Terrific soft boiled egg as well. If you are a little wary of seafood, probably find a place that does more pork or chicken based dishes because there is a heavy fish presence here but I certainly loved it! I would come back on a cold and rainy night in search of some delicious ramen!
I am a huge seafood lover so I LOVED this fish-based broth ramen place! Their yuzu tuna based broth was light citrusy and flavorful. The sea bream spicy broth was more fishy but very flavorful and just the right kick of spicy! Small space that seats 12 people so would recommend making a reservation. Service was not overwhelming but was quick!
With all the hype we've seen on the Internet, we decided to give this place a shot. Cute and cozy ambience, they only had 2 tables and bar front so maximum of 12 seats. We came for dinner so the menu focused more on mazeman and ramen. Staff was pleasant and attentive, gave us tips and recommendations on what to order. We ordered roasted potatoes for appetizer and the ramen for dinner. Both ramen had a very strong fish flavor as I presume the menu focuses alot on fish delicacies. While it was flavorful, probably not one of our favorites. They didn't have a dessert menu which was disappointing. Also towards the end we had to rush (maybe it was an hour seating time?) because they had a party coming in ten minutes that booked the whole place. Didn't get to fully enjoy the dinner. Maybe you will have a different experience? If you love fish of course.
Delicious fish-based broth ramen (at night)! This place serves Japanese breakfast during the day and uses the fish bones from the food for their ramen broth in the evening. This place is SMALL - fits 9-12 people so definitely try to get a reservation if you can!! It usually is booked out and they take walk-ins but it may be for the end of the evening. Limited menu - appetizers, sashimi of the day options, ramen and mazemen (dry/mixed ramen). Everything is DELICIOUS and well-made. The sashimi tasted super fresh. Got the bacon and egg mazemen which seemed popular and the spicy tuna ramen. Loved them both but the bacon and egg mazemen blew me out of the water! It was SO flavorful and didn't taste "dry" without a broth. The noodles were also delicious and I wish we got the larger portion from the get-go. If you want extra noodles later, you can only add it to the ramen, not the mazemen. The tuna was also delicious - broth was SUPER flavorful and fulfilling but I liked the mazemen more. Fish-based broth is definitely a different taste especially if you haven't had it before. Service was great as well and I would highly recommend anyone to go!
