Great food. The Tonkatsu ramen was delicious and pork was tender! The Katsu chicken and rice was yummy too! We had pork baos but ate it too quickly before taking a photo! A great business to have at Spark!!

Authentic, finger-licking delicious and affordable. Perfect for dinner or even a late night snack.
This place is definitely comparable to a Yakitori you'll find on the streets of Tokyo (I have been to Japan and had plenty of Yakitoris in the past). Baos and Karaage are also perfect.

Excellent food. Mushroom Baos and Coconut-Coriander Ramen. £5 each for Veganuary. Must place to visit if you like great Japanese food.

The noodles are spot on, relatively thin and not in the slightest overcooked. The broth was reasonably complex and fatty, with a hint of spice in the spicy pork. But the pork slices were cold, thin, and uninspired. Id barely classify them as pork belly; braising would be a quick way of making them more appealing. The soft yolk eggs were also plain, not soaked in any kind of flavoring.

Absolutely amazing ramen, especially the tonkotsu is some of the best pork I've ever had. The staff are super friendly as well. I go here whenever I can while I'm in York, couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Had some trouble finding it the first time I visited, note that it's in Spark up the stairs.

You wouldn't look at this place and think "geez, this is almost Michelin star level cooking". But you would be mistaken!
The Beef Tartare was brilliantly presented, resembling somthing you would expect from a high end restaurant, providing unique flavours which complimented each other.
The Tonkotsu Ramen was also a great addition to the menu, with a flavoursome tea-stained egg, firm noodles and a rich broth.
The guys running the place were pleasant and friendly, and clearly cared about their work and passion for cooking.
Definitely a must visit in York!

Fantastic Food, try the Tonkatsu Ramen. Great atmosphere and a friendly, owner who is clearly passionate about Japanese food. This place deserves to be a massive success.

Absolutely delicious! We went for an early dinner and ordered the beef ramen, chicken gyozas, and two types of yakitori (mooli and pork belly special). Shori has its own seating inside the container (unlike a lot of the other food places at spark), which was great as it started raining. As we waited, we were offered the chance to try a new dish for free. We were given tempura broccoli with black garlic. It was amazing, so crunchy and tasty. I hope it makes it on to the menu permanently. Everything we ordered was really well cooked, and you could tell the guy running it was taking care to make everything taste and look good. It was also really reasonably priced compared to street food I've had in other cities. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
