The absolute best ramen I have ever had! Everything was extremely flavorful and delicious. The portion sizes are HUGE! I had to take the rest to go. Staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Will be visiting again. 10/10

We went on a Friday afternoon, and there was 1 person in line. Our order was the spicy garlic ramen level 2, karage chicken, and the pork bao buns. We downed the pork belly bao buns SO quickly that I couldn't even get a picture - it was melt in the mouth, soft and juicy pork, and burst of flavor. The ramen was spicy but enjoyable, and the karage chicken tasted fresh and clean. We absolutely loved our lunch and service was quick and attentive. I would go back just to have the pork belly bao buns ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hidden gem. I did not expect the ramen and everything to be so delicious. The spicy garlic tonkotsu, karaage, and pork belly bun all phenomenal

Worth the 20 minute wait. Ramen bowls around $15 or less. $5 bottle beer from Japan. Pork or chicken or veggie broth. A popular item is French fries with truffle mayo. We didn't try that, but looked good.

It was a great experience! The people were very friendly and helpful. There was a line to wait for the table, but didn’t take long. The ramen was great also. Definitely worth it all the way!

Delicious ramen at a great value! You are get every penny's worth here and not sacrificing in quality or taste. I don't know if it's worth waiting an hour for but if you come in between lunch and dinner the wait is minimal to none.

They opened immediately at Noon. Ramen was ready in 15-20 minutes after ordering. Atmosphere was great and the servers were nice.

We always have great time here. On vacation season it's crowded but the waiting list goes fast (15 min approx), you can look around in the meantime. I highly recommend the ramen with Shrimp or beef.

had to wait a bit in line -- so worth it. they do mean it's spicy (SO good). passionfruit drink thing was tasty and they are very on top of keeping your water refilled!!
