The broth had that very strong porky smell, definitely didn’t taste like it was done right. Could not finish my ramen since I almost puked.
Decent ramen absolutely ruined by... Black garlic oil? Not interested in acquiring that taste.The whole place reeks of it and when I got my ramen I almost gagged. Couldn't finish it.Karaage was decent. Service was good.
Maybe this is my fault, but we didn't have a great time here. TLDR: Ramen was too "beasty", with a strong pork smell and dense pork flavor. Perhaps this is what they're going for ("Porco"), but in my wife and I's opinion the flavors were not good. Also, the noodles were underdone.
They haven't fait me yet!My usual is the Porco Ramen with corn
Great ramen spot, I loved the pork cheek and the black garlic oil. The vegetables were excellent and I also enjoyed the marinated egg. Overall the broth was savory and thick, but not overly salty.

Great food and great service. Service always tops the 5 star for me. Treated very nicely and made sure you are taken care of. Food was incredibly fast like mcdonald's but better than mcdonald's forsure. So you rather stop at McDonald's or here?I tried their spicy soup and it was very tasty I recommend it.
After reading all the great reviews, I decided to get the Porco ramen -- and what a disappointment! For starters, the pork that comes with it certainly isn't pork cheek because it was way, way too fatty. As in pork belly, 85% fat/15% meat fatty. Look it up -- pork cheek meat is supposed to have nice sinewy marbling, making it deliciousy tender when braised. The broth is tasty enough but suspicious because it does not jell when cool, or cold even (I checked my leftovers in the fridge the next day; completely liquid).In my opinion, best ramen place in California still in SoCal (Hakata Ikkousha Ramen; multiple locations, but I've been to the one in Costa Mesa).
This is my favorite ramen restaurant in the Bay Area. The broth is rich, the noodle is perfect! I love all the ramen here also recommend the truffle fries and Tacoyaki!
First time here and I will say it’s amazingly good! Will definitely come back! The Tonkotsu hit the spot!
