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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

A reliable spot when you are craving a warm bowl of noodles. 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. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.
