toni patrick: Ordered hibachi steak . The fried rice came out and I took a bite and immediately spit it out it tasted so bad like mold and sour i wanted to get sick . I smelled it to be sure and could even smell the mold sour in it . The waitress says they make the rice fresh which wasn’t what I was expecting to hear . My fiancé paid for the meal and I didn’t eat it . Never will I go back again.

Michelle Karl: We had the ginger salad, it was great! We also loved the amazing roll, the beauty and beast, and the ohana (peanut butter) rolls!!They were amazing! I have never had a roll with peanut butter before and was slightly skeptical but it was very good. The beauty and the beast was a bit spicy but worth it.Don't forget to finish off your meal with the banana boat or fried ice cream!

Katie L: Surprisingly Horrible Meal and Service: 2 hours later - starving and traumatizedAfter many recommendations my husband and I decided to try out Woochi as our rare date night dinner. We were initially pleased being seated right away in the bar room without a reservation. (there was a show at the Morris and they looked to be busy but not packed, the “no wait” continued for the extensive time we ended up at the location) Once we were seated our waitress swung by with waters and a smile saying she had tables ahead of us and would be back for our drink order, 15 min later she returned – we decided to order everything and wanted to avoid any possible delays after arriving hungry. We ordered edamame, a boston roll and a spicy tuna roll as starters, then pad thai and udon noodle soup as mains. After 45 minutes we asked for an update needing something to eat and our patience running thin, we were told it was coming. Another 15 minutes after that we were told our meal would be “comped and sorry for the delay”. We were then bought two incorrect sushi rolls, we mentioned they were incorrect and the waitress argued they were right. Another waitress came over, confirmed they were indeed incorrect and whisked them away. My husbands soup was then brought out with the correct rolls. He was encouraged to eat because mine would surely be coming shortly, he struggled with the dish saying it was cold and bland. My meal did not come shortly, it never came at all. I had to flag down the waitress who now was avoiding us to ask if my food would be coming, she told me “no probably not, do you still want food?”, yes we came hungry and I am starving, “ok ill have to re-ring it in, do you want to pay for it?”. At this point I was so surprised by the entire experience I just asked for anything, anything to go so that I could eat something. She returned with a brown paper bag and a managers visit to the table. We were apologized to for the experience and assured we would not be charged. Between the awful service and the food either being wrong, cold, tasteless or not arriving at all, it was exhausting being there and ruined our very rare time out. 2 hours we wasted here. The meal didnt cost us anything yes, but it did cost us 2 hours in a babysitter and our sanity for the night.This was the worst dining experience I have experienced since before the pandemic. I would never recommend this restaurant, in fact I would advise against it.

Kara Reel: Love this restaurant. Anytime we are wanting Japanese and are in South Bend it is our go to spot. I have been wanting Udon like crazy and got mine with shrimp and chicken. It was delicious. We got the King Kong roll to share, it was soooo yummy! The sushi is always spot on. My husband got the beef Ramen and said the broth was super flavorful but the meat was really fatty so he was a bit disappointed by that. Our friend got the pad Thai and potstickets and said his meal was good too. He shared the potstickers they were very flavorful and moist. We will definitely be back again.

Dawn Marie: I went to woochi fusion last night before a show at the Morris.We had reservations for 6:15. We got right in around 6:10.Sad to say nobody came to take our drink order for ten minutes.We ordered two mic ultras. It took another ten minutes to get the beers. We ordered an appetizer, pot stickers, and they came out fairly fast and they were tasty.We then ordered our entrees.I ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp.I'd never been to woochi before and the only other Japanese food I've had was at Hana yori. So that is how I compared.The rice and veggies were pretty good. The steak was a huge disappointment. It was supposed to be medium rare but it came out nearly well done and it was not even luke warm. It was almost cold. Yuck.The shrimp was warmer and much tastier than the steak.The steak and shrimp comes on top of a giant lettuce leaf. I would rather it come without the lettuce.I assume it's for looks. But it's just in the way when you're trying to cut your steak chunks, and it just looks all slimy and wilted.I can't say I'd be excited to go here again, but I would go back for a second try.I wish the tables weren't so packed together. It reminded me of a school lunchroom. It was loud and everyone can hear your conversation and you can hear theirs.If I had a choice between woochi and Hana yori, I'd pick Hana yori.

Melissa Miller: Floor Manager Stephanie made this experience very unpleasant. She interrupted our waitress 3 times when taking care of us. Stephanie was very pushy to get customers out, telling staff this table needs to pay and go, or that table. Running around like they were super busy when it was steady. Being rude to her staff like a drill, Sargent.Had we not experienced her demanding, I would not be saying this.I get it. Other customers have reservations, etc.. but don't make your staff tell already dining customers to leave when they're not even done. 🙄My husband talked to another manager to express the above and to inform that our waitress was so pleasant that she did not deserve the rudeness from Stephanie.Overall, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was ok if we didn't see the demands.

Sean Turner: It's been years since I've been to a Ramen shop. The last time I was in an actual Ramen Shop, it was when I was stationed in Okinawa. This was very reminiscent of that experience. I had the Tokatsu Ramen and the Takoyaki. The texture of the noodles was awesome. The broth was flavorful. The pork was so tender, I could chew it between my tongue and the roof of my mouth. Each takoyaki ball was filled with octopus. There was no skimping on that. I had a great experience overall. For dessert, I had the Taiyaki with Red Bean Paste. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of that because that was gone before I had a chance to do so.My family's experience was a little mixed. My wife had the chicken teriyaki bowl. The chicken wasn't as tender as the 4th. I had somewhat of a rubbery texture. Even though the texture of the chicken was a little off, the flavor was great. Also, the broccoli was a little too raw for her taste.My son had the Chicken Shoyu Ramen. Again, with the chicken, the texture was a little rubbery. But the flavor of the broth and the texture of the noodles was spot on. It reminded me of all those years ago when I was in Okinawa. I gave it four stars, only because of the texture of the chicken, and the rawness of broccoli. We will definitely be coming back. There was so much more on the menu that I wanted to try. Great job, Okasan!

Samantha Wamsley: This small and unassuming place blew both me and my boyfriend's minds!Soon as you walk in, the large window at the front and clean modern look make it feel immediately comfy.You order off the menu at the counter before you sit down, so make sure to look over the menu before you go your first time for brevity, they display it online.The place is very clean and well organized, and the staff is so so kind and helpful. 3 We got our food insanely fast, and all of it was really tasty and authentic, which made a huge difference for me because after visiting Japan for months, I became a bit of a prude with Asian food once I got back to the states. LOLTo top our meal off, the waitress even came over with a plate of their honey plum sweet potatoes on the house, which was just the icing on the cake.This place is a great casual dining joint, and doesn't kill your wallet for the quality of food you get.12/10Wheelchair accessibility: There's a big open space with movable tables, so it is very wheelchair friendly. Although I am not sure about a sidewalk ramp outside.

Miranda Rivera: I have been trying to try this place out for so long and the website states they are open. Every. Single. Time. I show up to this place it is never open. I am done trying to support this business because clearly they do not want any business.

Mimi Tashmia: We quite like this new place , don’t know why this is closed ! Their chicken rice bowl was great , I also tried chicken katsudon but I didn’t find that much interesting.They served quick with smiling face . I hope they will come back soon .

WhiteFangofDAWN: Wonderful menu, great food wonderful service a little bit of a wait but well worth the food.

Christopher Nicodemus: They need up update the hours on Google. Just drove 45 minutes to find they are closed.

Scott and Cynthia Colegrove: Stopped by after college visit with my daughter and it was delicious. Friendly service. Fast. Hot. My daughter hasn't stopped raving about it. Wish there was one near our home.

liv initup: Eating at Okasan felt like being cradled by a loving god. Never in my life has any meal rejuvenated my soul in such a complete and perfect way. If I could give 6 stars I would. The only place in town I will ever get ramen again. I’m still basking in the afterglow. Thank you. I am healed.

Bradford Jordan: If you're in the mood for ramen then this is a good spot to try out. Service was great and the restaurant was clean. The Tonkatsu ramen is delicious, but I'm not sure it's entirely worth ~$15.00. The dine-in experience is good. It can feel a little cramped even when there aren't many people there. But overall, dining-in is simple and quick. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for some good ramen and willing to pay the price for it.

paula stone: We just tried Okasan last night and we were not disappointed. This place is amazing!!! This will definitely be one of our favorite places to eat in south bend. If you want incredible Raman this is the place!

Salvador Hernandez: Food was amazing, first time trying a ramen restaurant and it did not disappoint. Serves was great and staff was very friendly and helpful.

Vahellish: Staff was polite and food was delicious and arrived quickly. This was my first time experiencing ramen and takoyaki and it was a wonderful experience. Went here with my father who's never really tried Japanese food outside of snacks. He enjoyed the experience himself and even managed to try boba.If they bring up the strawberry roll- do yourself a favor and get it!!! It was incredible! Soft and delicate and didn't regret trying it. 5/5 stars.

Eric Pomeroy: Absolutely loved it all, I am by no means an ramen expert, but I loved every bite. It all worked together so well. Will definitely come back to try some more dishes.

Elliott Knight: Food was awesome, really good service. Will go back

Matt Christianson: The soy sauce mixture that comes with their Gyoza is so damn good, as well as the Gyoza! Ramen was also great! The marinated egg was the best part!

James Whittington: Very nice place, and was happy with the service, and the food.

Heide Stull: Zing is a small Japanese/Asian restaurant in downtown Mishawaka. They offer dine in and take out. My favorite dish is the Mongolian Beef. Their fried rice is also very good. A variety of fresh (and cooked) sushi made to order, which you can watch. They also have ramen, while it’s not their best dish it’s very good.Also offered are various teas both hot and cold. Hot tea comes out in a teapot, they have a base with a tea light that it’s set on so your tea stays warm. My least liked dish was the General Tso's Chicken which, in my opinion, tasted more like American BBQ then spicy.The staff it attentive and friendly, always making sure your drinks are filled.

Erik Lyon: We really enjoy this restaurant. The food and service are very good. It can be a bit pricey, but what isn't nowadays? For the 3 of us, it was just over $100 with tip. I had the shrimp and vegetable tempura, upgraded to the bento box. I also had a 2-piece nigiri sushi 🍣 just to try it out. It was worth it. Not as good as another sushi place that I reviewed but a very close 2nd.

Nicole M.: First time eating here since new owner took over in the summer. Food is still delicious and ordering online was so easy. The food was packed well with the hot and cold separate and stacked in a way that nothing tipped over or sloshed out. It was ready about the time they estimated and pick up was a breeze. I will definitely be going back soon!Parking: It is always hit or miss when I go downtown. I try to stick to the side street with the CVS as the other businesses on that street are typically closed at that time. There is always the free parking lot less than 2 blocks away if a street spot cannot be found.

Lindsay Myers: Have been to zing many times before and have always had a pretty good experience. Tonight was a little different however. It really was the server who we had. I have never seen her there before so she may have been new but she wasn't very friendly, never responded when I would ask her for an item. At the end of the meal after paying and leaving she ran out the building to show me that I didn't sign my name. I left her a tip and the way she came running out made it look like I didn't pay or something. Kind of embarrassing having the other customers looking out the window at me. She then proceeds to go in and show her fellow employee the receipt like she was upset with her tip or something. Kind of disappointing tonight.

Jose Bootwash: The lunch portion is decent for the price, but the food is bland and not at all worth the money. I spent almost $30 here tonight to feed myself and others. The orange chicken had flavorful sauce but there was barely any chicken in each piece. The house fried rice was extremely bland. The egg roll were sub-par. The only redeeming factor was the egg drop soup, which made the rice taste infinitely better when it was poured over it.Overall this place is horrible. If you're drunk at noon then by all means go grab their lunch portions but if you're looking for a Chinese joint that is actually good hit up China House.

skyla crafp: I was so excited to try this place but ended up so disappointed. There was dust and dirt everywhere. A woman came out from the back and started “sweeping” (pushing dirt around, she didn’t even have a dustpan). Definitely DONT come with children because I heard f-bombs dropped at least 4 times. They were blasting rap music when we walked in and the girl up front was on her phone 90% of the time I saw her.

Jake Renfree: This noodles is terrible. Takes forever to get food. Waited for 25 minutes after ordering food. Then opened it up and the portion was tiny compared to other noodles locations I’ve been to.

Grzenia Mannion: In September of this year I filled out the survey to express my disappointment in the portion size of my noodles because it had happened a few times before. I got a nice email from the general manager, Alissa Bennett, apologizing & offering a gift card to return. Never received said gift card & no response when I asked for an update a month later. Today I decided to give it a shot...I was about to order online and thought it would be better to order in person. I walked in and saw several people waiting and got in line. Three employees looked very busy making food and that was good to see. But in that time no one ever acknowledged my presence or came to take my order. I saw a co-worker waiting for his meal that he placed online. After I watched an employee take a dish out to a waiting customer at a table and the customer tried to tell the employee that it was still wrong and was ignored...I decided I made the right decision to not order online. Right as I decided to leave, I went up to my co-worker and told him good luck and told him how I've had such bad service lately. He informed me that his order was 20 minutes overdue. Then someone else chimed in that their order had been wrong twice. NEVER GO TO THIS LOCATION! The staff do not care (although they are never rude) and management does not care or follow through. I walked straight to Five Guys for my lunch. I'm going to write a review for Five Guys because they've never disappointed me...expensive but never got my order wrong or took too long.

Jason Swift: I wish I could give this restaurant less stars, because they don't even deserve one. Only go here if you have an hour or more to kill, because that's how long they'll make you wait. I put in an order that said it would be ready at 12:36pm. I arrived around that time, and my order was not ready. While waiting, they served 2-3 people at the order counter. Those folks received their food before I got mine. I had to ask the wait staff 3 times before I received my food. Each time I asked, the server acted like I had never made the request before. She was more interested in chatting with a friend who was in the store visiting. To make matters worse, they marked the order as "ready" 20 minutes before I got my food. Then, once I finally received my food nearly 30 minutes after promised, it was WRONG. They added toppings to my salad that I requested not be on it. They gave me the wrong dressing. Charged me for extra dressing when there was none. Hardly gave any protein, and the flatbread side was crunchy. While I was waiting, another woman in the store expressed her frustration as well, after the waiting staff gave her the wrong order TWICE.The customer service here is abysmal. This is not the first time either where the wait was this long. In fact, it's this long of a wait more times then not. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, because it's certainly the worst on Eddy Street.

H. K.: Our family has gone to Noodles and Company for years over in Mishawaka but lately it seems like they're always closed. So we tried the South Bend location for the first time today and it'll absolutely be the last. My son cannot eat dairy so we got the same order we get every time we went to the other location; macaroni noodles with no cheese and some veggies and protein. (We've gotten this order with zero issues for years in Mishawaka.) They brought it out with cheese on it so the employee took it back so they could remake it. About 5 minutes later, I heard someone say "No! You weren't supposed to put cheese on it!" So they made it again and another several minutes later I heard someone else say "wait, this isn't supposed to have cheese on it?" (Mind you the kitchen is 10 feet from where we were sitting so we could hear everything they said.) And if you're keeping count, that's 3 times they've made a simple dish incorrectly. So after several minutes waiting again, everyone else at the table was done eating but my 3 year old son still hadn't received his food. So I waited in line to speak with an employee about getting the order to go since everyone was done. She went back into the kitchen and it was apparent that they still hadn't fixed the order. In fact, several people came into the restaurant and got their orders in the time we were waiting for them to make a dish without cheese. While waiting again, I heard the chef ask confusedly, "so they just want it with noodles, tofu and broccoli??" Like was it THAT difficult?? Either way, I'm definitely not going back if a simple request like no cheese takes several tries and the staff is not even caring enough to get it out in a timely manner. Especially since we spent over $50 on just two adults and two kids.

Benjamin Pykare: Took 20 minutes to get 1 of our 2 meals that we ordered. Showed them our half empty bag and now waiting another 10 minutes to get what we paid for. Avoid unless you want to get ripped off

Dominique Watson: I was so excited to get some noodles. There was no line but a small wait for the food because it was cooked fresh. I finally got my food. I made it all the way home on the other side of town only to find that my Lo Mein Orange Chicken had ABSOLUTELY NO CHICKEN in it! The lady even threw in free cookies for the wait but i feel like it was a setup because she knew my food was not correct. I am very unhappy and will not be back. The other location in mishawaka was better and they filled up my bowl.

Jack O'Leary: Always a nightmare. Food routinely 25-45 minutes late and never less than 10 minutes late no matter how simple the order or how far in advance it is placed.

Beth Dinwiddie: This place has five star potential and should be buzzing with customers. I have tested this place out several times over the last couple of months and order from here at least twice a week. The food is usually super tasty which makes the rest of the experience pretty disappointing. There was only one issue with food that I will touch on later.All but two of the times I have gotten food here, there is a crazy wait just to order and not because there is a line. It seems to be the practice that whatever orders are in, those orders have to be completed before more orders are taken. This is rather silly because if they take your order and your money, you've gotta hang around. When they don't take an order for minutes, respond to customers, or greet customers, it makes it super easy for people to walk out and go to another place. Once the order is taken, my food is usually out in 11-12 minutes if it's not busy.Weekends are decidedly worse. Sometimes there's a faster response for an order, but you will often get an unexpected one as a customer. One weekend my husband went to pick up an order before closing and was told (along with other customers) they weren't taking orders because they sent their cashier home early. Someone did eventually come out from behind the prep area and take customer orders. Customers are frequently told that machines are down and they're not taking orders unless you ordered online. I have heard a dasher be told that they never made the food because "dashers don't normally show up." The dasher said he always shows up to get his orders and at that point they began making the order. Another night we were told that they are not taking orders because the cook was let go an hour before closing. On these occasions, it can take 30 minutes or longer to get your food even with an online order. The longest wait we had was just under an hour with an online order (due to staff being sent home). Today I was told they weren't taking orders while working on a catering order unless it was an online or Door Dash order. The manager said it would be 15 minutes before I could order in person.The only food issue was when they were adding salad chicken to the food rather than the baked chicken I had ordered. When it was brought to the managers attention, he quickly corrected it and said that shouldn't be happening. It has not happened since. While it is discouraging the number of times I have been told they are not taking orders, the food really does taste great. The fresh ingredients taste fresher than the Mishawaka location.Dietary restrictions: I have lots of dietary restrictions due to certain foods making incredibly sick for days. The main ones I have problems with are dairy and gluten. The Pad Thai is my go-to for a safe option with no alterations (baked chicken is a great addition). Most of the cooks (yes, the cook, not the person at the register) at this location already know that there are no changes to the recipe and to keep utensils separate or use a clean pair. Despite how difficult it is to order food, I have never gotten sick from cross contamination or anything else. That's a big deal to someone with limited options and takes a chance every time they order out.

Sean Healey: NOODLES get them here. Short ones long ones, thin ones and thick ones. All sorts of noodles. Ramen, Spaghetti your choice NOODLES

Olaoluwa Balogun: Sweeeeet

Harley Beaver: First time ever going to noodles and co. Food was good. However, the manager who took my order was probably the most condescending person I've had take my order at any establishment.. ever. Not impressed I feel bad for the two employees working with him because he had an attitude and was not talking nicely to them at all. Probably won't be going back.

Ashanti Tobar: Very rude service over the phone .

Danielle Wales: Noodles and company is usually a go-to for lunch for me but this location was horrible. I was the only one in the restaurant and waited a full five minutes for my order to be taken. When I did get the chance to order, I had to correct the cashier twice. I waited 15 minutes for my food to come out (again I was the only customer when I arrived) and my food was ice cold once I received it. I am very disappointed and will not be returning.

Kate Hawkins: Seriously? This is the pad thai you packed in my to go order? Did you dig it out the trash? This particular location should be closed!

Clay Goldman: I like the Noodles & Company brand. It’s a simple product with a lot of tasty options, so it is not very hard to make it a pleasant experience. With that being said, this location can be very slow. It’s poorly equipped for high volume times due to size and arrangement of the facility.
