We've had our fair share of ramen and this place we excellent...esp the Tonkatsu ramen (amount the best!)...the pork was just the right amount of fatty (ie. On the fatty side just like we like it!)We also tried the kimchi ramen and pork Katsu. Kimchi ramen had great flavor but minimal fried chicken...got fried chicken skin with minimal actually chicken meat.The pork Katsu had a very interesting mustard / slight wasabi scented broth that was interesting!Just need to mention that this place still charges a 3% covid fee....like who does that anymore...this is the reason for the less 1 star

Having been to Japan many times I appreciate restaurants that are not over the top expensive, but authentic. This was. The taste was very close to what one could expect in Japan, but I’m really picky. I would recommend Ramen-San for either lunch or dinner.

Came into town for taste fest and needed something before the festivities began. This place was convenient to our hotel. There was no line, the wait staff was friendly and answered our questions. The food was awesome and great value for the price. The ramen had so many flavors.

Clean space, good music, decent food, restaurant & mini bar in one. I really appreciated how the waitress only came to ask if everything was okay just once instead of every 2 minutes. I got to enjoy the food and ambiance more. The place itself was not very big, but the tall ceiling made it feel more spacious. Tables have bag hooks for anyone who needs them.I ordered a fried tofu bun and tonkotsu ramen with a few added extras. The tofu was hot, crispy and a great compliment to the bun. The chashu pork (in the ramen) was so tender and tasty! It was the best part and brightened the broth which was not as flavorful as I'm used to. The noodles were okay. Not as chewy as I would like. Overall a decent experience. Good spot for lunch and drinks.

SO good. We both absolutely loved it and would go back. The ramen is great and I also had a fried chx bun which was great! I got the sumo ramen because the ingredients sounded great but I think it could feed a family of four! Definitely had leftovers. Our waiter was very nice and attentive and even gave us a lesson in Japanese culture with sake ! Oh and the old school music they play gives it a great vibe!

I came here during my lunch break and ordered this special for about 16$ which I think was such a great deal for great food. I look forward to coming back. Staff was friendly, attentive, and you can tell they keep things nice and clean. My server was super nice but somehow I felt rushed which is okay because I had to go back to work anyway. Great experience and great food overall.9/10

This place is a vibe! If you are looking for good music, sushi, and chicken wings then this is the place for you. I am not from this area so I wanted to try a good sushi spot in the area and this place did not disappoint. Although it was busy, I was able to get seated right away (party of 1) and was able to order my food soon after. The waitress was attentive and made sure to check on me here and there. I definitely will come back when I visit next time.

Great I'm sure for ramen lovers, not so much for younger kids. I was happy but my kids weren't very happy. It cost me for my family of seven about $200 so a little pricey for a disappointed group of kids. Pretty good service though. The kids hated the chicken buns. Acquired taste I guess

We went for dinner on a Tuesday night and had a good experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, and it was pretty busy when we went. You could tell they were understaffed as the manager was running around helping out everywhere, but it didn’t detract from the experience at all.I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, and it was very good. Some of the noodles were stuck together and undercooked. The chashu was delicious (even more than my favorite ramen in my hometown, which surprised me). I wish they gave you a whole egg instead of just a half. The gyoza we ordered was tasty as well.I would recommend this restaurant to anyone based on my experience.

Everything was good, even the side salad. But what's really cool is they are accommodating for food issues. Don't eat pork and they swapped out the broth for me in my ramen.
