Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Service was fast even though it was packed.
