Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Service was fast even though it was packed.

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. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. 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. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Service was fast even though it was packed.

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. 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.
