Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. 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.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. 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.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.
