Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. 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 noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

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. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots.

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. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The chashu was tender and melted in my mouth.

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. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

The flavor here is on another level — rich, balanced, and deeply savory. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.
