Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Located in a prime busy Street filled with many other competitive restaurants which were all filled with people. I put my name on the waiting list, I was a party of one, so it only took me about 25 minutes to get seated. There were larger parties, who waited a bit longer. The place was clean, cute small and cozy. The service was great, and our server was amazing. Did a thorough job with cleaning each table in between customers. I narrowed it down to the curry and the Ramen, I ordered the curry and it was delicious.

Spicy Miso Ramen misses the mark in terms of authentic Japanese, flavor of broth consists mostly of jalapeño and lacks depth. Thai food may be the better option at this dual country kitchen. Will be back to try the Thai noodle soups. Smartly designed, pan-Southeast / East Asian interior.

I had the Chicken Khao Soi at Nute’s, and it was fantastic. The broth had just the right consistency—not too thick or too watery—making it perfectly balanced. It had a mild spiciness that kept it from being too rich, which I really enjoyed. I also ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen and Okra, and everything was delicious. Despite the restaurant being very busy, the staff remained polite and attentive. I went on a Friday at 6 PM, and the line was quite long, so I recommend visiting during off-peak hours for a shorter wait. I would definitely return when I get the chance!

The apps were good, the ramen wasn’t, it was like a broth, there was no body to either one. Should have read the reviews and ordered the Thai soup instead.

The Larb pork belly lettuce wraps were phenomenal. Great tangy citrus and crispy pork. The curry noodles with chicken and crispy noodles on top was also a winner. Very strong ginger flavor at first and then the sweet coconut curry flavor, and the crispy noodles on top balanced out the soft noodles in the curry. Not too spicy! Def a new favorite for me!

It’s small, so expect a wait, but worth it. The food here is fantastic. The Thai dishes are good but kind of average. It’s the Japanese and fusion dishes that will blow your mind. The karage is some of the best I’ve had (and I’ve had excellent karage in Tokyo), gyoza is great and anything they tempura is usually fab. Very cool place and highly recommended.

Every dish was …. This spot is a gem, and it best of everything. Yakisoba, drunken noodles, karage, gyoza, all of it was so flavorful and just delicious!
