We have eaten noodles across the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Our go-to ramen is always ima noodles! Their spicy tuna don is beyond phenomenal. Their staff is kind and amazing.
Service was amazing. Atmosphere was great, went as soon as they opened for a early lunch. The playlist was 🔥. I had the curry and my friend has the ramen. Edamame was seasoned well but had a slight unexpected spiciness to it.
Food & service are excellent! The spicy chicken ramen was incredible & definitely spicy - just how I like!! Special thank you to the kind hostess and my server Louise for great service!!
This place has great food, wonderful dumplings and cute robots. What more could you ask for. The only thing I could complain about was the parking but honestly it was so worth it. Such incredible food. A great place for a date.
Great Quality Ramen. So good! If you haven’t tried, you’re missing out! Alyssa our server really went above and beyond to make our Ima experience perfect! Thank you Alyssa! She is a true example of a great server.
I have gone here many years and I love their food! I love that they always release new things on the menu to try. I love their kimchi seafood ramen which looked like they changed it to just kimchi shrimp ramen. The only complaint that I have which is not their fault. They are always so busy. I wish the place was bigger because I feel like I am sitting on top of other people. The food also takes longer to be ready, which i understand with it being extremely busy. I wish you guys expand by adding another location or making the building bigger.
Wow Amazingly Fresh delicious healthy option❣️ In town from out of state and found this place near the hotel. The Shrimp pho with chicken is a authentic pho with fresh uncooked veggies for optimum vitamins, The chicken dumplings are perfect and bite size nuggets of the right crunchiness topped with tasty dumpling sauce, along with the Hibiscus punch and it's sweetly taste to quench the thirst, and last but not least the berries and cream is the perfect dessert end So happy to found this place for health options traveling Stay Blessed and Merry Christmas 2025
Awesome food served hot and fresh! Totally worth it just for the Tokyo Street Fries alone! Such unique flavors! The Karage is crisp on outside, moist on inside! Highly recommended!! My friend loves the ramen!
Honestly, I came in hungry I came out full. my waiter was Aaron and he was really sweet guy. He actually helped us through the menu and was very descriptive. I’d give him 10 out of 10 stars and the food was really good and it has a lot of flavor. It didn’t take forever to come out either. try a different pop today Coco Rico coconut soda. It was really creamy. It’s not too pop with a lot of fizz.
Really solid spot for Japanese comfort food. The ramen and udon both stood out—the noodles had great texture, with just the right chewiness, and the broth was flavorful without being overly salty (which is surprisingly rare). The ginger chicken was another highlight: tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. Service was swift and efficient, and the staff were genuinely hospitable.
