Best ramen in Columbia by far and better than anything in Charlotte as well. The noodles are of the Upmost quality and the soup itself is fantastic.The side items such as the gyoza are excellent.Also they marinate their eggs in soy sauce which is a nice touch that many other places pushing ramen fail to do.

Super good Tonkotsu ramen, gyoza, and onigiri. The miso was also a hit with us. I'm not a fan of super runny egg yolk, but the egg in the Tonkotsu was perfectly cooked for my liking.Highly recommend stopping by when in the area

Walking by and decided to stop for dinner with my 7 Year old daughter. She loves Ramen Noodles and was all about this place. She ordered the Chicken Ramen and according to her or was the Best Ramen ever, and she's an expert.

The food was amazing, I’ve been traveling for a month and trying different food everywhere, and we stopped in Columbia for a night, because of this restaurant, I believe I made the right decision to stay for another day.Wednesday Jan 26/2022

One of my favorite places in town. I try to stop by whenever I can. Especially with the cold weather lately I’ve been by more frequently. The ramen is delicious, servings are huge, and I’m a big fan of the curry and salmon rice balls as well. Staff is super helpful and polite even though they are always swamped!

Best Ramen in town! Definitely a must try!The spicy ramen is the best IMO.However, just a heads up... this place gets packed!!! It’s wild!They have no sitting arrangements for the people waiting to dine in. It’s kinda like you snag the first seat you can find regardless of who’s been waiting.... because you don’t know who’s first or last!Also, my only annoyance is that because it gets SO packed in here, at certain times, your can’t enjoy your meal w/o someone hovering near your table waiting for their to-go order or a seat....It’s great to see they have so much business but they should really expand and/ or figure this out. I had some guy literally standing over me while I was on a date.... super uncomfortable

This is one of the best places I think I may have ever eaten. The food here is delicious, did not take very long to wait, and the staff was polite. It has become my new food obsession for at least another month, lol.

Togo order of ramen and pan fried dumplings. Excellent broth, chewy noodles and loved their eggs and fish cakes. Ate their again my second night in town. Dumplings were excellent too. Fast service and great location.

Consistently delicious ramen every time, and at reasonable prices? Yeah this is the spot. Also, you should try their Japanese curry and the inari (it's like sweet seasoned tofu that's stretched over rice; such a good appetizer)! Ramen is their main deal, but the other menu items are pretty good too. A must-have on your list of a local restaurant to try.

Very clean and friendly staff. Nice hole in the wall that seemed popular with the locals.
