Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it.

This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price.

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. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

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. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Solid bowl of ramen — nothing crazy, but consistently good. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Solid bowl of ramen — nothing crazy, but consistently good. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.
