Great place for ramen and sushi. You can also get some adult drinks while you eat, they have some nice Japanese beers and Sake. The food menu has plenty of options for rolls.

Very strong 5 Stars !!! I pass by here daily and never thought to stop until today and I highly suggest you try !!!! The classical music was beautiful and very relaxing. Our service was great and the food . Gyozas had a perfect crunch, the shaggy dog was the best we’ve had and the sushi was fresh and tasteful definitely recommended !!!

So glad we found this place, 10/10! One of the best ramen places I’ve been to. The prices are much better than Jinya and the food is as good, if not better. Jinya is just “trendier”. Komaya is calm and cozy; feels very traditional. We will definitely be coming here a lot. Sundays are happy hour all day! Servers are very friendly. We had the gyoza, spring rolls, shaggy dog sushi roll, Tonkotsu black ramen, and the Chashu Don rice bowl. The Chashu pork was perfect, wasn’t too fat and great portion.

Such a great find! The food is flavorful fresh and very well priced. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the chef was very nice. He was out working on the sushi bar while we were there. Perfect place for a quick bite or even a quiet date night. I will absolutely be back.

Komeya is a hidden gem for ramen and sushi lovers, offering a cozy and casual atmosphere that feels welcoming from the moment you step inside. While the space is small and intimate, it’s a lively spot that fills up quickly especially during dinner hours so arriving early is a smart move. The menu is packed with flavorful dishes, but the spicy beef ramen is a standout, boasting a rich, deeply seasoned broth with just the right amount of heat. It’s a comforting bowl that delivers on both spice and depth of flavor. The green chicken curry is another must-try, with a creamy, aromatic sauce that perfectly complements the tender chicken. If you’re in the mood for sushi, Komeya does not disappoint. Their rolls are not only fresh but also creative and fun, making each bite an enjoyable surprise. Service is handled by a young and energetic team that keeps the mood light and engaging. They’re friendly, attentive, and quick to offer recommendations, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. The only downside is the parking situation Komeya’s lot fills up fast, so be prepared to circle the area or consider alternative transportation during peak hours. But once you’re inside, the food and atmosphere make it well worth any hassle. Whether you’re in the mood for a steaming bowl of ramen, a flavorful curry, or a unique sushi roll, Komeya delivers a consistently delicious experience that keeps customers coming back. Highly recommended!

As an Asian food lover who have been to Japan, Komaya definitely is the one which serves authentic Japanese seafood and ramen cuisine. The owner Frank is super kind and hospitable and the cozy environment reminds me of the deep alley small restaurant in Japan.

Hands down the BEST sushi in the area! Not one thing was bad, staff were friendly and very attentive. 10/10 would recommend to anyone asking us where to eat good sushi, and would definitely come back! We ordered 4 dishes enough to feed 3-4, but there were only the two of us! It was such a delightful treat.

One of the best ramen restaurants I've ever been to. The location is wonderful, the store is very clean, the atmosphere calming, and their staff is very kind and sweet! Their black tonkotsu ramen is so rich, and delicious. Their takoyaki is absolutely superb. And their sushi tastes divine! I cannot suggest the honeymoon roll, the Houston roll, and the spider roll enough! Also be sure to ask about their Hayley roll, it's an absolute treat! Would absolutely come here any time I'm in the area!
