The food here is amazing! Ramen heaven! The staff are super kind and attentive! I brought my family and they ate their bowls clean! My kids would never do that at home! Food is delicious and nicely presented. 5 stars, no notes!

Life changing Ramen. Small location. Fast service. Very friendly staff. Everything was perfect. I would take a bath in the broth. It is that good.

Mmmm-mmmm!!!!!! That’s all I can really say to describe the food. It’s so good, not overly salty but you can always ask for sauces. We had the tonkotsu white ramen, and the kaarage for appetizer. We also had a sake bomb (a must right before a hardy meal! Hehe). The food itself is very good and tastes homemade. The atmosphere is lowkey really nice, it gives warm bar/cozy vibes. Life the lighting and layout of everything. The staff is super attentive and kind, they check on you frequently and smile a lot. I felt taken care of and welcome here! I would definitely come back! Once again, MMMM MMMM!!!

This place is small and their menu is small, which can be a good thing. Sometimes it can be overwhelming with a big menu and they don’t specialize on anything. However this place has three ramens, I chose the spicy red ramen. I enjoyed it, was full of flavor and not too salty. When I showed up it was very busy, so if you have a large party, try to go earlier or consider you may be waiting a bit; especially

Have been to this spot multiple times now and it always hits the spot! The place is popular for a reason! They have indoor and outdoor seating, and bar seating. If it’s not busy then you’ll be sat right away and even when it’s busy the food comes out quick! I’ve tried the black ramen and the red ramen, I prefer the spicier red ramen! The takoyaki here is also super tasty! The restaurant is clean, good amount of seating, staff are nice and are on top of it! The location is convenient as it’s nearby a bunch of shops and other restaurants. Definitely a great ramen place and I’ll be coming back!

My friend got black garlic ramen with pork broth I got veggie ramen and asked for tofu to make sure i get protein. I tasted the black garlic ramen and the main flavor is roasted sesame oil which is delicious. I’m not sure why they don’t have more veggie broth options or why they don’t make a version of black garlic vegetarian since the main flavors are garlic and sesame oil. The veggie broth didn’t have much flavor so I asked for hot sauce. I think they should add tofu to their veggie option since all their other ramen bowls have large portions of meat or at least have it as an add on so people trying to be healthy can meet protein goals and have a more filling entree. I also feel the broth wasn’t good needs more seasoning. We got Sake that was delicious! The service was quick and attentive. If you’re veggie or vegan there are some options but they aren’t the most delicious.
