The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. 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. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

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. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

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. Service was fast even though it was packed.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. Service was fast even though it was packed.
