Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.
