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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. 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. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.
