This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. 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. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. 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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.

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. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Service was fast even though it was packed.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.

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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Service was fast even though it was packed.

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. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.
