Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. 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.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. 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. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Service was fast even though it was packed.
