Haven’t tried the ramen, but the Veggie Yakisoba is sooo yummy!! When I worked at the mall I would get it almost everyday, and I look forward to going there anytime I visit the galleria now. Only took off one star because I don’t like that they don’t have fountain drinks and only offer canned soda and bottled water that you have to pay for by the bottle. Friendly and fast service, I recommend trying the yakisoba :)

The service was phenomenal! Grace, The Owner, hosted me herself and was highly attentive and very quick to respond. Grace brought out my Ramune (a drink) and although I'm aware of how to open one Grace offered to teach me if I didn't know and then proceeded to take my order. As an appetizer I ordered the Takoyaki (A10) and the Peking Duck Bao and it was made and brought out very quickly and tasted delicious and the peking duck in the Bao was so tender it was like biting into warm flan. As my meal I couldn't decided between The Double Monster Ramen Burger or Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen so I got both so let me start off with The Double Monster Ramen Burger it was superb! The taste of the Japanese sausage and the beef patties they used complemented each other fantastically with whatever sauce they used (I sadly am writing this nearly an hour after eating so I can't remember the exact sauces or ingredients). Now the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen had me at a loss of words. I didn't speak the whole time out of sheer gluttony for wanting to keep ingesting the delicious broth and pork and the spice was so balanced it wouldn't bother even a rookie/novice to spicy food so overall yes I would highly recommend and as an added note Grace informed me of a near future of Sake and Beer being sold out of the establishment.

Overall, the experience here was good. The kimchi ramen was good with the smooth kale noodles and crunchy kimchi giving the dish and interesting combination of textures. The flavors are good but mild which I'm sure goes over well with customers who have less adventurous tastes. The service was somewhat inconsistent but we may have just caught them on a busy day.

I've eaten here several times and the food is slightly pricey due to the location in the mall, but everything I've had has been excellent. The Shanghai dumplings are some of the best I've had in Houston (actual soup in them!), the beef and broccoli uses good quality meat and fresh broccoli (and there's enough for two lunches), and the Singapore noodles were the perfect texture. I was a skeptic due to the price but they've won me over with the quality of the food 😊
