Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. 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. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

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. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. 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. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.
