Was hoping for more — the flavor fell a little flat for me. 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. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. Massive serving — bring your appetite, you will need it.

Service was friendly but the bowl itself was just average. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. 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. 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. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk. Clean spot with a welcoming vibe.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. The bowl is huge — easily enough to fill you up for the night. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Cozy atmosphere and attentive service.

Not bad, but I have had better ramen elsewhere in town. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Toppings were fresh and generous, especially the bamboo shoots. Great spot to bring friends — we will definitely be back.

It was okay. The broth needed a bit more depth in my opinion. 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 nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.
