We finally got to try this place and see why it's so popular. It was surprisingly not busy when we arrived for lunch but we made reservations just incase. We had stopped by on a Sat night before and it was packed with a 20 min wait.
There are tables and a low bar area to sit at. It's not super big so it does fill up fast. They can accommodate large parties with reservation. During our lunch visit a family of 8 w/kids showed up. They did have high chairs available.
Aesthetic is not overdone, simple but cool anime poster, art on walls. Dimly lit but sufficient.
They offer gluten free noodles, spinach noodles and standard noodles. Love that! Nice sake selection too.
The only complaint would be the parking. It's a small strip mall with limited parking located near The Golden Tiki and spots are tight with pushy drivers. Carpooling recommended.
If you get a chance, definitely check it out, food was great with friendly service. I would recommend dining here during the day over the evening when it gets crazy busy.
