Best WLM Reviews

Surprised we were the only party here, absolutely empty on a Monday afternoon from the time we arrived till we left. Food is amazing. If you love Birria, get the Birria ramen. Given. Amazing. If you’re not a fan of Ramen, get the orange chicken. Amazing!! The sampler was great too, my kids loved their chicken broth ramen. Our waitress was very attentive and the food was out fast. Highly recommend!
Food was very tasty. Had the orange chicken and my son had some Ramen. The place is pretty cool too. The only reason I gave the place a 4 was the service: our waitress was nice, but she would never come back around to see if we needed something else. She forgot to bring my son his Ramunen and had to remind her. After a while, I wanted a refill to finish my food, but she never came around until it was time for the check. I tried to get her attention, but she was eating, on her phone, or talking to her other coworkers. Other than this, I would have given them all stars.
Soooo good! My new favorite is the birria ramen...but the spicy tonkatsu is my second. The gyoza tastes phenomenal, but I still can't decide if I prefer them steamed or fried. Was not the biggest fan of the bao, but I won't say it was bad, just not my cup of tea. Speaking of tea, the iced green tea is very refreshing and light. It perfectly complimented the ramen. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Love the atmosphere. I don't even like anime but the Asian and anime vibes blanket the entire space. This is definitely going to become my comfort food spot! Each time I come I'm blown away with the flavors.
This is not the first time we have dined in Yamaguchi, the reason we came back are the Furikake Fries with pork belly. The fries on the menu don't say it comes with pork belly, you would have to ask for it. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu with the chili oil instead of the bomb chili it normally comes with, it has a nice flavor for the broth. I like the flavor of the broth with the chili oil instead of the bomb chili. My boyfriend had the black garlic tonkatsu, which had a good serving of pork the noodles were a good consistency and the broth was tasty with a fair serving size. My boyfriend ordered the coconut lychee was sweet and creamy with a fair amount of alcohol. I personally don't drink, however we asked them to make a virgin piña colada, they were able to make one on the rocks.
I was skeptical about ordering from here, my first time; however, no regrets! There were utensils and napkins in the to-go bags, the carrot cake was nice and moist with a side off coconut whipped cream. The cream and cake together was like a party in my mouth. The ramen I customized and the broccoli was extremely fresh and crispy (water mist in my mouth) and the beef along with egg - speechless! Delicious
I wish I could give 4/5 stars, but the service was horrible. I had to get up and ask for a menu myself, and then ask an employee who wasn't our server for water and to place my order. Other than that, the food was great and the atmosphere in the restaurant was too. I think the servers could do a lot better though.
EDIT: (07/2024) I am back to edit my review because I decided to give Yamaguchi another chance and this time around I was so happy to have gotten an amazing server. She was so helpful at explaining menu items and being attentive to our party. A year ago my experience was very different, but I'm glad I gave it another chance!
Loved the atmosphere and the food was super delicious!! Excellent customer service. I'll be going back!!!
Ramen ???? goodness! It’s so yummy! We loved it all. Will definitely be back for more. ????
