This is the real deal. Authentic flavor that reminds me of bowls I had in Japan. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

Decent flavor overall. It hit the spot on a cold day. The noodles had a perfect chew and held up well in the broth. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl.

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. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night.

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. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Got a bit busy at peak hours, but the wait was worth it.
