This ramen is unique, not your authentic Japanese ramen. I believe the inspiration is Vietnamese pho. The noodles in pho however are not this overcooked and soft. The only soft ramen I had were the instant ramen. By no means does instant ramen with its TBHQ represents the taste of authentic ramen you see handcrafted by the local shops. I like the crunchy pork chasu. It was firm and tasty. Good coloring. There were a few bits of pork skin rinds (chicharones). I don't know if it was to boost the umame flavoring that seemed absent. The soggy porks rinds were as palatable as soggy noodles. The only good source for umame is the marrow bones boiled into the broth or powdered mushrooms. There was sliced ginger in the ramen. Ramen shops don't serve bowls with ginger. It is one thing to cleanse the palate when going from one sushi dish to another. Ramen needs no palate cleansing. It is more like a comfort food. No ginger. All that said, this is unique and can be categorized American ramen. The spicy maki roll was a-ok. The rice texture seemed caramelized (see picture), as if indicating it was preformed and had been in the fridge awhile. The sliced ginger was appetizing. The wasabi was standard. Kudos for excellent presentation. Facilities are bright and clean. For ramen and maki, my final bill was $42. This was water, no alcoholic drink included. 4 out of 5.

Holy, constant interruptions and a sales-pressure dining experience. If you’re planning on going to dinner here and actually want to talk with the person you’re dining with, this isn’t the place. The staff constantly hovers over your table, not just to check on you but to push more sales. We stopped in for a beer and to share some sushi. After we ordered, the server told me they’d “come back so we can put in an order for some real food.” That sums up the experience: persistent upselling and interruptions. They have a lot of staff clearing dishes, topping water, and circling back to see what else they can sell you. It felt intrusive rather than attentive. Maybe the service style stood out even more because I just returned from Europe, where service is the opposite—you can sit and chat with the person you are dining with, and not be interrupted. It's the opposite, you have to wave them down if you want something. Both approaches have pros and cons, but Dave’s service style is definitely too much on the pushy side.

I'm impressed, the Rainbow Rolls are amazing and are our favorite. I didn't expect the sushi to be so good. Bree is awesome and went the extra mile, which was a pleasant surprise!

Wow! We did not expect to find such good sushi in this part of the country but Dave's knocked our socks off. The miso soup, which is such a small thing is the best we've ever had. The fish was delicious especially the twist they have on the different recipes adding a little unique flare.
