Valentine’s Day is all about grand gestures, heart-shaped everything, and unrealistic expectations. But let’s be real — not everyone wants to get swept up in the whirlwind of overpriced flowers and forced romance.

This year, Dragon Warrior Ramen Shop invites you to ditch the clichés and join us for an unforgettable Anti-Anti-Valentine’s Day Event.

Deep Purple Shrimp Tempura Roll

Break Free from Romantic Expectations

There’s nothing wrong with roses and candle lit dinners, but why should love be confined to a single Hallmark-approved night? 

The truth is, love is so much more than what’s portrayed in cheesy rom-coms. Love is laughing over dinner with friends, sharing stories with family, and indulging in the simple pleasures of life — like a perfectly balanced Deep Purple shrimp tempura roll with avocado and  cream cheese mousse.

What Does "Anti-Anti-Valentine’s Day" Even Mean?

Have a date? That’s cool, too! We’re not here to bash love — we’re just over the tired clichés. No overpriced roses, gigantic teddy bears, or fancy clothes required. This is your night to enjoy incredible food, real conversation, and heartfelt laughter with whomever you choose.

Whether you're bringing your best friend, significant other, or someone who simply gets you, this evening is about celebrating love without pretenses — surrounded by people who actually love you for who you are.

“Say goodbye to the pressure of Valentine’s Day and hello to a night that’s all about you and the people who matter most.”

What to Expect at Our Anti-Anti-Valentine’s Event

The heart of our self-love celebration is a 6-course dining experience, meticulously crafted by Dragon Warrior Ramen Shop’s Head Chef, Jason Villarreal. Each dish traverses a journey of flavor, texture, and artistry — because real love deserves really good food!
