The stir fry Ramen was very tasty. Healthy portion, and great flavour. Service was great.

I always love going out to eat here but they do offer take out as well! Staff is always nice and waiting time is always reasonable. The food is ALWAYS 100% delicious and worth every penny but won't drain your wallet! I've been coming here for almost 5 years now and they never let me down.

Very disappointed. The soup wasn’t hot or seasoned enough. The egg per order of $1.25 serves half (didn’t think it is mentioned at the menu?), the char siu was shredded port with no flavor. Age tofu portion was very small and served with soy sauce paste on top. I’m sorry, I did expect more when I came in.

We got take out.I did not like it. The soup was bland and so was the pork. For a $13 per bowl, I expected more flavor.It could be different for you so I suggest you out and try it for yourself.

I don’t remember which dish my wife and I got but it was delicious. Service was great.?

First time we visited this establishment. We will be back! Ramen was plentiful and delicious, and the atmosphere in the the place was great! Having visited Japan five times now, I will say the tonkatsu Niku Soba I ate was outstanding. A bit sweeter tonkatsu broth than I am used to, but very flavorful! Ramen soba was perfectly cooked. It went so well with the Sapporo biru, LOL. Prices were good. Service was outstanding.

Love this place! I come here almost once a week because I love eating here that much & my job is across the street ? they have the BEST ramen, the BEST prices, it's a smaller restaurant but VERY much so a GEM. They have THE BEST CALAMARI you'll ever taste, they actually should charge more! ??and GREAT customer service!

I ordered takeout to be picked up. Got there at specified pick up time, waited for another 45-1hr for the food to be ready. Order was only for one person so I’m not sure what took so long. It wasn’t busy inside the restaurant. The food was great but the waiting was just ridiculous. Maybe something happened that night with the cook. You probably get faster service if you eat at the restaurant. I try to be really understanding but it was really frustrating. I would have preferred a phone call that they were behind so I could have come to pick up the food later and not wait there forever.

The ramen is soooooo delicious here and the prices are very reasonable! I always order char siu pork and chicken buns for appetizers along with crab jalapeño. The buns are very fluffy but when you eat it, it tends to stick to your teeth or the inside of your mouth. The char siu is sweet and charcoaled to the taste and the chicken is fried and crispy. It’s filled with lettuce and rich mayonnaise. Buns so deliciously good! The crab jalapeño was not overfilled with cream cheese, just the way I liked it to be. The batter on the outside was not too thick. It was thin and crispy. I enjoyed it with the sauce they drizzled along with cabbage on the side. I ordered kimchi ramen and the broth was so delicious and not spicy. The kimchi was still crunchy and the ramen was chewy. I’ve had other ramen before but the broth isn’t as good as this one. The bowl was filled with meat and veggies and of course, their runny marinated half eggs. The chicken was similar except the both wasn’t spicy.

Ramen was good. I definitely had better but its still pretty good. Good portion of noodles and condiments in the Ramen. I wish it was spicier. I got the Shar Char Ramen (something like that). Only one waitress when I went in but service was still pretty fast. Takoyaki balls were on the smaller side but really good.
