Pretty good ramen. The broth was tasty even if not super memorable. 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 nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

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. 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. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. 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. 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. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.
