Wow! I ordered the spicy ramen with beef and kimchi and it is the best ramen I’ve ever had. The broth alone was worth the entire experience. AMAZING. My kid got the vegetable fried rice, this was the most flavorful rice for being meatless. I’m sad we aren’t local but definitely recommend to anyone near by. Service was great and the restaurant was clean.

Excellent portions for the price paid. We had the Hawaiian Poke Tuna Bowl and there was lots of Tuna mixed in with the fixin’s. They only lost a star because we ordered the regular bowl, and quite possibly got the spicy bowl, which was delicious but it took longer to eat. I would definitely return to try another mix!

Crunch Sweet Chili Shrimp was really good! Great price for the amount of food you get. Fried Calamari was okay, the mustard sauce that is served with was good. Great food and prices. Recommend trying it.

The bowls were tasty, but too much sauce in the rice. The bulgogi seasoning was very good but the meat was cut too thick, making it extra chewy. We will come back as this is one of the best asian restaurants in Lompoc.

More like 3.5 Service could have been quite a bit better. We had an infant and beside the high chair nothing was mentioned on anything we could need for her. The food was pretty good and the place was very clean including the high chairs.

I really liked the bowls. I got the salmon grill bowl with avocado (extra $1 for the avocado). We got the stuffed jalapeno bomb shrimp appatizer which was amazing. It was really heavy so I couldn't finish my bowl. Overall the place was super cute and nicely decorated. Bathrooms were kept clean.

This place was amazing ! Our food was so good and for the price it is well worth it we had plenty left to take home. Great service even though we dined in a little late. Great restaurant all around would highly reccomend!!
