This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Service was fast even though it was packed.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.
