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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. 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.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

Tasty enough and fairly priced. I would come back. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.
