I really liked the food. They gave us free edamame as well. The black garlic ramen was creamy and the pork in it was delicious. The kimchi was also good and not too spicy.

My server was very sweet but the service almost felt rushed instead of inviting, food was great Chicken Karaage should be cooked lighter but if you’re a fan of well done food perfect dish for you ! Thank you guys has been a patron almost 5 years now !

OMG, this ramen just blew my mind! 😍 Fresh ingredients everywhere, crispy veggies, perfectly tender chashu, that rich, soul-warming broth… the noodles had the ideal chew! Hands down one of the best bowls I’ve ever had. You guys are killing it! 🔥🍜 Can’t wait to come back and bring all my friends. 10/10 recommend!!

This is always a great place for a straightforward bowl of ramen. I get the Shio Ramen with Turkey and add Level 2 Hell Sauce. This is my fave comfort food on a Friday evening after work.
