The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Pretty good ramen. The broth was tasty even if not super memorable. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

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.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.
