Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. 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. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. 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. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. 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. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Solid bowl of ramen — nothing crazy, but consistently good. 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. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.

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. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.
