    I went for the first time on a Sailor Moon event and it was a lot of fun! Loved how they went all out for the theming and costumes, and included a little costume contest too. The restaurant is very cute and feels welcoming. I ordered the shoyu ramen and it was delicious! My friend ordered the Sailor Moon sake flight and it was very cute. I can't wait to come back again!

    Noka Ramen is our favorite ramen restaurant. We’ve been three times recently and the food and service are consistently excellent. Love the space and vibe. Best pork belly (chashu) buns EVER. Could eat those everyday and never get tired of them. Their ramen broths are outstanding - rich and so full of flavor. And the ramen eggs? To die for.
