Reviews

Yum. That’s really all I can say, yum. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and full of flavor. Nothing had that weird “frozen” taste. The ramen was delicious, but those dumplings? My favorite.
Patricia B.
The food here is simply incredible! Each dish is meticulously prepared. The dumplings melt in your mouth, especially the steamed ones. The ramen is generously portioned. It’s a must-try!
Carlo R.
We love this place — and so do our kids! It’s become our weekly dinner spot. The hand-rolled dumplings are out of this world, and my husband and kids can’t get enough of the ramen.
Kelsie C.
Hands down best ramen in Wilmington. Their dumplings are out of control incredible. Everything was made fresh including the dumpling wraps and noodles. We will be back soon.
Jessie S.
We have the Japanese ramen there on a regular basis. It’s delicious, always high quality. Our favorites are the tonkotsu base with either noodles, and pork or shrimp tempura. Service is fast.

Casual Japanese and Chinese spot, serving handmade dumplings, rice bowls, and classic Chinese Entrees. Food came quick and everything was delicious - Shoryu broth was on point!
