“ Amazing food Excellent chill atmosphere Service was very good Overall I would recommend trying ”
“ This was my first experience. I'm typically a Pho kind of girl. So I wasn't quite sure what to expect or compare it too. To order you go up to a counter and place your order. They provide you with a number, you seat yourself and someone brings your food out to you. The staff were super friendly and helpful as we had lots of questions about what things were. The food was good, some items weren't for me, but otherwise it was savory and well paired. Overall the experience was great. We would be back if we are ever in the area again. ”
“ Huge portions and so delish kind staff small seating area order at counter than get a seat it was a great time kids loved it and so did the adults looking forward to going back and trying more ”
“ This place was right across from the hotel I was staying at in Savanah. The way it works is that you order at the counter and then take a seat and wait for the server to bring over your meal. The ramen is pretty customizable; you choose your broth, noodle, protein, and extra toppings. I got ramen with tonkatsu broth, udon noodles, and steak. The broth was pretty good in my option and I really like how they had condiments at the table to add more spice to the dish. I think the only critique is that the portion of noodles and protein is relatively small compared to the amount of broth. The place incorporates a lot of anime in its decor with murals of different anime characters across the walls. They even have a couple TVs set up playing different anime shows so if you're into that I think you'd really like this place! ”
“ I stopped by and Hawk was such a pleasure. I was uncertain of what to order but Hawk gave me suggestions and listened patiently to what I wanted in my noodle and not only that, the customer service was exceptional. I was impressed with the customer service along with the food. Thank you so much Hawk! ”
“ Wow! This was better than I thought it'd be. I ordered from YATAI Ramen + Yakitori upon arrival in Savannah. Essentially what happened is I was dead tired from driving nearly five hours. My plan was to order food to my hotel, shower, and get ready for bed. I wound up doing exactly that. The question then because what exactly to order. I figured I'd order something light or as light as possible, which in my case is usually a salad or a soup. As I didn't crave a salad, soup seemed like the best option and I immediately thought ramen. I searched that up on Uber Eats and Yelp to boot and chose YATAI Ramen + Yakitori mainly because they had great reviews. That and upon reading reviews, I learned that they did BYO or build your own for the ramen bowls. Consider me intrigued. I wound up choosing a tonkotsu base and added marinated, grilled chicken, along with seaweed, a soft-boiled egg, and corn to the noodles of my choosing: ramen ones, of course, although they had pasta and udon as other tempting choices. Delicious doesn't begin to cover this bowl. It was piping hot and hearty and made for two meals. I was ecstatic. I will admit though that it could've been seasoned more, but that's what condiments are for and I didn't ask for any as I didn't think my stomach was up to par that day. I'd be curious to go to the actual location as they hit it out of the park with an online order alone. ”
“ This is a cute spot on Barnard St. It seems small on the outside but it holds a good amount of tables inside. You come in, grab a menu from the front to look over and to place your order you have to go to the counter where they give you a number to bring back to the table so that they can bring your food out. All of the employees were very friendly and open. It is a quick service location so a lot of the food came out within 5-10 minutes of us ordering. We ordered some fried gyoza and two Tonkotsu ramens with chasu pork. The Fried gyoza was delicious and crispy. The sauce was a bit tart but it complemented the filling. * 2 Tonkotsu ramen with Chasu (as is) * Broth was flavorful without being too heavy. Tonkotsu broth was made of pork and chicken. The chasu was good, it only came with two, fairly thin slices. The toppings were well balanced and added to the flavor. We added some spicy garlic oil, red pepper flakes and spicy garlic sauce for heat. ”
