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

Solid bowl of ramen — nothing crazy, but consistently good. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. 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. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

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. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. 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. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.
