"So I ordered the Sweet and Spicy chicken for 17$ and my wife ordered the salad for 20$ at dinner time. She also asked for extra dressing which cost extra and we didn't get the extra dressing! Pretty upsetting! I was really impressed with the flavor of the food but the amount of chicken I got for 17$ and only chicken with a lemon was pretty ridiculous. Pictures below will show that the salad for 26$ is a way better deal then the 10 pieces of chicken I got by itself but not by much! Also they have the restaurant spilt up in 2 different areas, one for breakfast and lunch and another for dinner. They didn't have a sign saying that's how it works. I was pretty upset when I saw my small amount of chicken by itself and soooooooo expensive! I DON'T RECOMMEND GOING THERE EVER!"

"Love this place. Second year in a row visiting & I gotta say that while their Annex Ramen is delicious, what really takes the cake for me is their Chicken Karaage. Yum! Crispy, GF, organic— that alone is unique (haven’t found another one in California that offers that). The white sauce that accompanies is delicious. I love it with lemon squeezed onto it. Highly recommend! And yes- for our final night this stay we got an order for me and another order for my son. P.S. I asked to sample their homemade green Sriracha and it was SO tasty!! 👌🏽"

"Best ramen in Nevada County. Generous portions, clean and locally sourced ingredients. Great atmosphere. 10/10"

"I feel I have to warn people: believe the other reviews about their subpar ramen. Nevada City has plenty of great food options, but they have yet to present any decent Japanese options. First, we ordered the crispy potatoes and the chicken karaage. While neither necessarily tasted bad, the “crispy” potatoes were not crispy at all and the chicken karaage is not karaage. It is simply just fried chicken, the batter wasn’t correct. Now to the worst part: the “ramen”. We ordered the tantanmen and the miso ramen. Neither in any way resembled ramen. Both had little to no flavor and were served with overcooked mushy noodles. Not even the egg was right. We did not force ourselves to finish it. Overall, heartwood annex should not be in the business of attempting Japanese food. Heartwood cafe is pretty good, but the annex is not it."

"The quality has plummeted in the last several months. The "broth" was water with virtually no flavor. I felt I should have paid $5, if that, not $20. On top of that, the cashier/server was wearing headphones and had a bored, uninterested, annoyed look.... as if we were a burden rather than a valued customer."
