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. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

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. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. 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. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

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. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.
