This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl.

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

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. 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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Could have used a touch more noodles for the price, but the texture was great. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. 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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

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. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Service was fast even though it was packed.
