The samples got me and I did not regret it! Food is priced fairly, made to order, and delicious!!! This is likely my new go to! Definitely recommend the teriyaki chicken and spring rolls!

This place is possibly the best in the mall. The chicken is cooked to perfection, and the sauce is amazing. I've tried so many places around here, and for the price this place charges, it's worth every penny. You'll be full for a long time.

I tried the vegetable nowl with ramen noodles and miso soup. I agreed to the soft boiled egg, but you don't have to accept it when offered. It didn't take too long for them to cook my ramen and the soup was very hot. The egg seemed a bit chilly when I first took a bit so I suspect it is cooked in advance and added later, but no issue as the hot soup warmed it. It was decent ramen not great but not terrible. I felt it was a reasonable price for a bowl of ramen as it was a good sized portion. I chose not to get a drink, but probably should've since the soup was hot. Personally I felt the miso was a bit fishy tasting, but perhaps that's just me. They were offering free samples as they also sell things like teriyaki chicken, fried rice, and more. There is plenty of seating in the food court, it's clean, amd well lit with sky lights.

I love your Seasoup. It tastes great, My favorite part is the clams in it. The broth is great, the seaweed is great and the udon noodles are the best!

Small stall in Polaris food court. Thai tea was excellent. Gyoza...by the time I got a seat, found my dining companion at a different stsll, and opened the gyoza, they were no longer hot. But the skins were crispy much more than I ever had before. The dumplings are a little small but full of stuffing and delicious. I had the seafood ramen with egg, in a miso broth. It was hot and delicious. A good amount of noodles. A couple pieces of Naruto, an oyster and maybe a mussel , and 3 shrimp or so. The egg was perfectly cooked...I thought it was going to be a tea egg, but the regular egg couldn't have been cooked better. I didn't see any vinegar or hot oil or soy sauce to add. But the broth was a nice flavor. Total cost was almost $20. I was hungry and glad I ate it.

I got lured into this place by the free sample of teriyaki chicken at the mall. Opted for the Tonkotsu ramen with pork slices and was pleasantly surprised after all, it IS mall food. The noodles were just the right texture, chewy and not too soft. The broth was flavorful and not too overwhelming. You can also add an egg for the same price. There are a couple of other broth varieties and you can select udon noodles if you prefer that. For $10 bucks, I thought it was pretty good and a decent-sized portion. My son got the teriyaki chicken meal and liked that as well; that was the typical fare with rice and cabbage.
