Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

A reliable spot when you are craving a warm bowl of noodles. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.
