Customer Review Summary
Signature ramen draws the most repeat praise, with reviewers describing the broth as flavourful, the noodles cooked just right with a slight chew, and the pork or cha siu tender. Close behind, the chicken karaage comes up often, called crispy outside and juicy inside, alongside vegetable and prawn tempura praised as fresh and crispy, and dishes like salmon teriyaki and chicken katsu curry also earning specific mentions. Several note generous, good value portions, and one diner highlights being catered well for coeliacs with solid gluten free options. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is described as cosy, chill, with good sunlight and music. The only recurring criticism is minor: one reviewer found the ramen's chicken not as tender as hoped, and another felt the signature ramen's soup a little too salty, though both still rated the meal highly. Multiple reviewers say they'll return, with one noting they come back often for the lunch menu's freshly cooked vegetables.

“I really enjoyed the food I got the Chicken Karage and Chicken Katsu Curry. I loved the meat and the quality of the curry. Loved the vibes in the place it was a chill more like coffee shop ambiance. Very nice and friendly staff. Definitely recommend 💖”
- Ilsa Hartley
“Amazing food, good value for money and some of the nicest service I have had in ages! Felt like we were friends being cooked for, which was just what I needed on a Tuesday evening. Will be back!”

“Written by my 11 year old (but I agree) I really love this cafe because it has such a calming environment and it always makes me so happy when I get to go. The service is very good, all of the waiters are so kind and respectful and we always get the food and drinks so fast. The food on the other hand, speechless, I don’t think there is actually a word in the English dictionary that actually describes it-it’s so tasty. This cafe isn’t on the food hierarchy, it’s too good. 12:10 ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I always coming out feeling like my grandma has just fed me !!! Unreal, the first place we think of when we want good quality, amazing tasting, consistent food. The lunch menu is great value and I don’t know what they do to the veg, but it is the freshest and tastiest veg I’ve ever eaten!! We come a lot and every time it never disappoints.”

“Warm and cosy atmosphere. Signature ramen must try. The broth is flavourable and cha siu is tender. Tempura vegetables are fresh and crispy. Will visit again”
