“If you are craving for some really spicy ramen, then this place will not disappoint you.”
If you are craving for some really spicy ramen, then this place will not disappoint you. We dropped in our names and went to get a couple of beers from green street smoked meats which was a perfect warm up before this place. The atmosphere inside was very cozy and vibey. We had the tonkatsu and the shoyu ramen. Although both were really good, but we loved the tonkatsu more. The pork itself was excellent. We wrapped up with a mochi. Overall, had a great experience!

“I have been here multiple times and this is by far my favorite ramen.”
I have been here multiple times and this is by far my favorite ramen. This time around we had the Tonkotsu and Maitake ramen. Both we rich and full of flavor, the pork is very tender and melts in your mouth and the soft boiled eggs are cooked to perfection. Full spice is VERY spicy, i typically stick to 1/4 spice then add more chilli flakes as needed. Staff is always kind and service is quick. There's no reservations avaliable and there is limited seating but wait times are usually shorter than expected, we have never waited more than 30 minutes for a seat for a party of 2.

“The 45 minute wait was worth it.”
The 45 minute wait was worth it. Probably the best ramen I've ever had and I've been to Japan, I'll tell you hwhat. Impressed with the thickness of the pork belly. Half spicy was what I would think full spicy would be like. Careful!

“Went for the maitake bowl at full spice and it was exactly what i wanted.”
Went for the maitake bowl at full spice and it was exactly what i wanted. the mushroom broth was deep and earthy and the maitake pieces gave it a nice texture. the spice level was no joke but it still tasted incredible. staff were really chill and made me feel comfortable even though i was sweating from the heat. worth the wait and such a great bowl of ramen.

“We ordered the ramen with no spice and it was still tasty, rich broth, great noodles, and perfectly balanced toppings.”
We ordered the ramen with no spice and it was still tasty, rich broth, great noodles, and perfectly balanced toppings. I love that you can adjust the level of spiciness to your preference, so everyone can enjoy it their way. The place itself is really nice, with dim lighting that makes you feel like you’re in an underground zen hideaway.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the hype and high five? Oh yezzzzz—every slurp of it.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the hype and high five? Oh yezzzzz—every slurp of it! 😋 After a long day (and one too many meetings with my boss & my stress-inducing client), I decided to treat myself and High Five Ramen delivered. Walked in solo (they don’t take reservations, FYI) and it was clearly meant to be—one open seat left, and it had my name written all over it. 🥢✨ The place is teeny tiny—only 12-15 seats—but that just makes it feel like you’re in on a delicious little secret. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen ($20 of pure umami magic) and paired it with a cherry blossom drink + Junmai Ginjo cold sake. Chef’s kiss. 🌸🍶 It’s hot, steamy, flavorful, and full of cozy Tokyo vibes. A little spicy, a little sassy, and 100% soul-hugging. Be patient if there’s a wait—it’s so worth it. Grab a friend or fly solo like I did. Either way, high five to your taste buds. 🙌🔥 Highly recommend!

“Wonderful experience.”
Wonderful experience. The spiciest ramen I ever had. I was fooled by the word spicy the city uses, so ordered for a full spicy version. And oh boi! It was dang spicy (couldn’t find this spicy ramen back in my home country). Would definitely visit again. Next time gotta try the non spicy one just for the broth. Wonderful service and a 6 star atmosphere.

Didn’t expect much from High Five Ramen, but wow—they totally proved us wrong. Got their signature ramen with full spice and it was fire (literally). So flavorful and totally worth it. Plus, the service was awesome!
