Delicious ramen and the tonkatsu Curry. Spicy karaage was the bomb too. I recommend the shiro ramen. So fire-good! We had to wait but not long. You scan code and pay then place order and they’ll serve you. Parking at the rear and it’s free. Staff were friendly. I’d so come back here. Prices are the usual for Cali.

Ramen here is one the best tasting in the Bay. The fried squid and chicken are also bomb. ?

Super high CP value! Surprisingly affordable price with high quality ramen!The tonkotsu broth is not creamy at all and the flavor of the original pork bone is strong; the shio ramen has a very light chicken broth, which is also pretty delicious.Eggs are perfectly cooked and marinated!

We stopped by on a recent visit to the area. They have a super easy system. Scan the QR code at table. Order what you want and pay right through your phone. Food came very quick and was good. Price was super reasonable. Worth a visit!

Service was friendly, but food was disappointing. The broth for our ramen was bland and the texture on the gyoza was barely cooked except on one side with minimal flavor on the outside. Other ingredients seemed okay, but the broth determines most of the flavor on the ramen.

We took a vegan ramen and a miso ramen. I liked the miso ramen. The broth was warm and very flavorful.The vegan ramen was also very flavorful with variety of Vegetables. Vegan or Vegetarians will really like it here.They charge extra for extra spice. I wish they didn't though.. ?

Service is incredibly friendly. Well portioned food and plenty of parking in the back. There are plenty of seats open for 1-2 people, but you may need to wait with 4+.As of 10/30/2021, you don't need a vaccine card. Even if you dine in, you'll need to do a mobile order. There are QR codes at each table to take you to the website to order.Noodle sizes differ. Take a look at the menu and I'd recommend choosing the ramen based off of noodle thickness or broth depending on which is a deal breaker for you.

Highly recommend the miso soup and add the braised pork and a extra egg with the chilli paste. You will not regret it. Full of flavor. Also for appetizer the spicy Karaage was delicious.

I deduced 2 stars for two important reasons: bad Tonkatso and greedy owner. We've ordered Tonkotso ramen, takyoki, and chicken with tartare. Takyoki and chicken were good. The chicken was tasty and soft. Takyoki was also fine. I liked the flavors. The Tonkatso was undoubtedly one of the worst I've ever had. The noodle they use in it is way off (I'll just leave it for my Japanese friends to judge) and the taste was nowhere near good ramens. The egg was overcoocked too. But my biggest complaint is about the way the owner is running the business. How on earth you expect a single person to handle 10-15 tables at the same time? Taking the orders, bringing the food, cleaning the tables, bringing the check and .... The guy was literally running all over the place. The owner must be truly ashamed!

Since moving to California in 2018 this has to be in my top 3 of the best places for ramen I have tried. I've gone down to San Diego and upto san Francisco but this is was totally worth the small wait time. I'd try to become a regular if it wasnt a 2 hour drive for me. The inside is clean and stylish I would recommend it to my friends if they are in the area.
