Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price.

Solid bowl of ramen — nothing crazy, but consistently good. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. 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. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.
