This place used to be awesome....service was always questionable but the food was really good. NOT ANY MORE!!!!! Terrible service and the worst Ramen I have ever had. The key to any Ramen is the broth....this broth was flavorless brown water. Never again.

Things have changed a bit since I was last there. The Tonkatsu broth is not as rich as before. It wasn't silky with pork fat and it was a bit bland, as well. Also, my ramen noodles, were stuck together in clumps, which was puzzling and made it difficult to eat, until I broke them up. I am super picky about Ramen, having traveled to Asia, but all in all it was a good meal and we will return.

I FORGOT TO TAKE PICS OF THE FOOD!! That’s how great the experience - food was amazing as expected. Shishito Peppers were delicious and not overly spicy. Short rib bao buns were tender flavorful delish. Veggie gyoza 10/10 seared perfectly and finally the Crispy Duck Ramen was so delicious our server offered to switch out the pork broth for chicken or mushroom (good to know if you don’t do pork) I’ll def be back 🫶🏻

Great ramen. Best found in Pinellas/St. Pete so far. Gyoza and Street Corn amazing. Sauces and seasonings all on point. Japanese Whiskey selection fabulous.

This was our second visit this month. The short rib Ramen and fries are delicious. The servers are great, but the bar and kitchen are not supporting them adequately. Bar service is slow - and there are no draft beers and almost no bottled beers at all. Also, our gyoza arrived still frozen inside. We asked for a new order- the new order arrived quickly and included a half-eaten gyoza from our initial order. One member of our group canceled their order after the second mishap. We really used to enjoy Buya, but it’s unlikely we’ll return.
