Came in skeptical and left a believer. The broth alone is worth the trip. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

Decent flavor overall. It hit the spot on a cold day. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite. 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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. 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. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

Tasty enough and fairly priced. I would come back. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. 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. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

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.

Pretty good ramen. The broth was tasty even if not super memorable. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg.
