Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. 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.

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. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

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.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.
