Pretty good ramen. The broth was tasty even if not super memorable. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

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. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. 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. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.
