I chose this place because of Google reviews when I was looking at best restaurant near The Canyons Zipline, and this fits the bill since we love Asian food, I did question the fact that the restaurant's name does not signify anything Asian at all, but the reviews seem truthful to ignore. Everything we ordered was delicious, pricing was actually a bit cheaper than in Jacksonville, but at par with the ones we have here locally. Hubby asked what was their Friday Special and our daughter's eyes lit up as soon as she heard something about pesto noodles with shrimp, so she has to have it! And it was really really good! It came with like shrimp trio, the other was shrimp salad dip that pairs well with crackers, and the other was shrimp with some coleslaw. I ordered the wedge salad, big serving, family ate the most of it, we eat off of each other's plates family style! Pork belly bao bun, yummy! Hubby had the Admiral sandwich, and the scallion pancake with pork belly, delicious as well. And best of all, Ms. Shelby, our server (also happens to be married to the chef who knows what he is doing), was very attentive, noted that we are kind of a foodie and understood the assignment when we got seated, that we need cold drinks fast, as we were all parched (that was a very hot and humid day!) and famished as hubby/wife has not eaten anything at that point and it was already 1:30ish.
After already knowing that their food are mucho delicioso, I decided to order their Build your own Ramen to take home, on top of some leftovers and I'm so glad I did because it was very rich and delicious, as well. I know authentic when I say so, because I am not just Asian, but I'm from Asian countries.
Highly recommend, and will definitely go back if we are back in Ocala in the future.

I stopped into town for lunch and wanted to support a small business and found Big Hammock Brewery. My server Sam told me about their Smash chicken Alfredo taco special with a caprese salad on the side and gotta say, I had to a know it was about and they were delicious! Great food, great service, next time I'll have to try a drink. Thank you Sam for the great service.

It was a bit of a hipster place with the beers unfortunately we went there specifically for the Asian cuisine. Which was delicious everything we had the serving size is were generous. Had for appetizers steamed bao beef buns with sunshine sauce. My wife had the beef sandwich with horseradish she loved it. I had the ramen soup pork belly with miso broth noodles and vegetables and marinated egg of course. Was one of the better Ramen soups that I've had in my life very authentic and flavorful highly recommend it. Recommending going there if you're in the area and if you drink beer it's a added bonus. It was a very enjoyable experience being there in the waitress was excellent.
We went on a Saturday so parking throughout the city was available and there was no charge.
It was much better than eating at the same old restaurants at the world equestrian center.
We ate there on March 14th 2026 so the menu is up to date and current.

We had a wonderful experience here! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service truly made the visit special. A big shout-out to Andrew, our server, who went above and beyond to accommodate our family and make sure everything was perfect. He was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about our experience. Thank you, Andrew, for making our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Best of both worlds Ramen and craft beers! Chief was very inviting and informative over the special million dollar dog i believe he was saying which looked so good. I stayed true to the Asian theme.
