The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Pretty good ramen. The broth was tasty even if not super memorable. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.
