Loved the location and restaurant setup. Edamame was great and non alcoholic drinks were delicious (guava spritzer and tea). I got one of the Miso ramens and it was very very salty and hard to finish. My husband got the karaage curry rice bowl and wasn’t a big fan. Wed be willing for try again and try some new items.

We were sat promptly by a very nice and welcoming young lady, sorry we didn’t catch her name. Sage was our server and he made very good suggestions when asked. The drinks were very good. We tried the Mai tai and an old fashioned. They had pork buns as a happy hour appetizer. It was amazing. We could have just had those for dinner and been very happy. After that we had ramen. I tried the curry ramen and my husband had the Hapa G ramen. Both were very very good. We plan on going back before our vacation is over.

The Hapa G Special was incredible! Wouldn’t recommend the garlic butter ramen—far too rich. The Sunset Margarita is worth the price!
