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.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. 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. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. 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. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. 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. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.
