Pretty good ramen. The broth was tasty even if not super memorable. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

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. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. 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.
