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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

A reliable spot when you are craving a warm bowl of noodles. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.

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. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Solid bowl of ramen — nothing crazy, but consistently good. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.
