Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Tasty enough and fairly priced. I would come back. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.
