Food was great and came out fast. Staff was super chill even though we went at 4am. Only 24 hour restaurant in the area that was actually open! Will be coming back... Soon.Came back and they have beer and sake! Now the ramen is enhanced with alcohol. Which is better. I used to like this place. I still do, but I used to too.Update #3: Came back AGAIN and it's still awesome. They added some jelly sake shots that are ???. I recommend the Peach and the lemon flavors. Ramen was top notch as per usual.
Trendy ramen place at downtown Riverside. Ramen was too salty, I couldn't finish mine.Food ordered: Tonkotsu broth, regular noodles, with tofu and premium Japanese pork. Spicy.+ Prime location+ Vegetarian option available+ There's a zero calorie noodle option+ Noodles were cooked to al dante+ Interior looks nice* Looks like they have a nice bar but it wasn't open when I visited* Red noodles weren't available when I visited* Pay upfront, mostly self service- Way too salty! Everything!- The broth has no depth, all I can taste is salt...- Tofu has the most potential, but still too salty. One side was chared and I can taste some teriyaki flavor. There were three pieces, I ate one before I took the picture.- Japanese pork slides were alright. But the fat was falling apart and didn't look appetizing.- The stainless steel bench seats were not comfortable. Seating surface is hard and seating level is too high, plus there's no foot rest result in a very uncomfortable seating experience. I think they want me to go as soon as possible...
Not a constant eater of ramen but I came here on a whim to try it out. I asked the man at the cashier what he recommended and decided to try a pork bowl.The pork itself was tasty as well as the white noodles and eggs. However it came with toppings ill choose to avoid next time; some hard purple noodles and corn.
Came here at midnight for late dinner, Tonkotsu ramen was great, more sweet than salty but they overcooked the pork belly, other items were average. Seating is atrocious, prison style stainless steel benches that are too tall, and too far away from the table, I've never complained about something like this but man they are uncomfortable. What's best about this place is that they are open late (they claim open 24hrs) and are reasonably priced, it's a good option for late night dining.
The ramen was pretty good. I added the premium pork belly option it was definitely worth every penny. However when you're dining in here, the seating arrangement is a little strange. The metal desks and benches don't really work, it only makes you uncomfortable and ending rushing out of there. Fix your seating issues and this place would be great.
Not sure why there are so many bad reviews about this place. We went on a Tuesday around midnight after a concert. Yeah so it’s basically all bar/bench seating but what’s the issue? It’s not uncomfortable. And I loved that you got to customize your bowl. The creamy chicken broth was great, the eggs were really salty but I actually liked the flavor and they were perfectly cooked. Everything was great.
The ramen was great but next time I will get 2 eggs. So delicious. I wish the seating was more comfortable and looking forward to when they serve alcohol in the future. I will be back.
This Ramen shop is alright, I’ve been told time and time again that this is the best Ramen in the Inland Empire which makes me depressed as this Ramen would be considered sub-par in the San Gabriel Valley just a few miles west. The flavors are lacking, the noodles seemed too chewy and the cuts of pork were too thick giving the appearance of a lot of meat but in reality it was only two cuts and made the soup harder to consume quickly which is how one is supposed to eat Ramen so the flavors don’t diminish from the change in temperature or noodles getting mushy. The spice levels were abysmal to say the least, and the overall decor present in the restaurant couldn’t distract me from the cold and grey stainless steel tables and benches everyone sits at making me think of a prison cafeteria. All this comes at a premium that is hard to justify, perhaps the expense comes from their location and business hours? So that is why I only recommend this restaurant for anyone who has a grave craving for Ramen late at night or super early in the morning since this location is open 24 hours 7 days a week.
The Ramen was great,.and we enjoyed the atmosphere inside. There was limited seating inside. We felt the seating arrangements were odd. There were a lot of people moving for better seats as people finished and left. One recommendation I have for management is to have some suggested combinations of selections available so newcomers to Ramen don't can just pick a number. We saw some people left because they didn't know what to select.
You have to respect a place that can stay open 24 hours and still draw a crowd. Now, it is not a regular ramen place. I've tried a few of their broths and I prefer the beef one the best, and not matter what else you got try it with ginger in it.
