    A good place for your ramen cravings. Plenty if indoor and outside places to sit. The staff was friendly and served with a big smile. For a moment we thought he knew us and felt bad for not remembering him. We would have loved for the food to be served a bit faster. But in their defense, the place was moderately crowded. The food was nice, nothing much to complain about. We talking and taking photos a lot, hope we didn't cause trouble to the shop or our neighbors 😂

    Value for money: YES Our group had all the ramens on the menu. All of them were very good. They have done a pretty good job with the bowl. Only thing I wished was for more chicken slices. Chefs are very young but they know what they are doing. Staff was super friendly Kitchen and the palace was super clean Apart from Japanese food yes you can grab a french fries and coca cola as well. Washroom and parking you have to use the One Gallface public bathrooms and the car park. Its a fun joint to hang out. Some good Japanese food in Sri Lanka after really long time. Definitely visiting again.

    The ambience is nice but inside limited seating space and outdoor is too hot in day time & evening bit crowded. Specially the ramen was really good and filling. You won’t feel like you drank colored water. They serve both cocktails and mock-tails drinks were Okish. 🫠 The service level was really good but the prices were a little on the higher side (not crazy high compared to OGF food stalls)

    Fantastic rooftop terrace! Japanese liquors and cuisine must create a unique and enjoyable experience. Stout beer paired with various rice dishes has created a satisfying blend of flavors.

    Ask for pork noodle, but the meat is mostly fat. The egg color is pale unlike in the menu. No pork broth. Food quality is ok for Srilanka standard.

    Ambience is great and the service is average. Had to ask for the bill a million times, they are too busy having their own little fun. The food is beyond terrible. Came craving for Ramen and regretted it all the while. The noodles were lumpy, and the broth lacks flavour..

    Ramen was too milky? It was not exactly creamy but it had a heavy cream / milk taste. Not exactly something that I like. The pork slice was good and egg was yummy. Noodle was cooked well too. Only pity was the flavour of the soup.

Staff is friendly and informative about the menu they offer as well. Prices are worthy for what they offer. Open kitchen area with glass wall and meal preparation is visible which is interesting as well.

    This Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem that promises a culinary journey through the flavors of Japan. With a diverse menu offering a plethora of Japanese delicacies, this place is a treat for the taste buds. The food is not only delicious but also provides excellent value for money. The variety ensures there's something for every palate, and each dish is a testament to the authenticity of Japanese cuisine. From sushi to ramen, the flavors are exquisite, making it a must-visit for Japanese food enthusiasts. While the prices are reasonable, the speed of service could be a tad quicker. However, the wait is undoubtedly worthwhile once you savor the first bite of their delectable offerings. The pleasant atmosphere adds to the overall dining experience, creating a cozy ambiance that complements the exquisite flavors.

    I’ve been to a lot of Japanese restaurants in Colombo, but this is the best ramen I’ve ever had here! 10/10 would recommend this restaurant for ramen & other Japanese food. The service is fantastic & they make their own noodles. I’ll definitely be coming back here 🙌
