Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

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. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

Tasty enough and fairly priced. I would come back. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. 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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

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. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Tasty enough and fairly priced. I would come back. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it.
