Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Solid bowl of ramen — nothing crazy, but consistently good. 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.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.
