Ramen did felt authentic and yummy, however lacks experience, the miso broth is not strong and layered. Noodles are thin and do have a chance to improve. The menu options were great. And overall it’s a must try!! Around 15-20$ per person if you are sharing. The food felt fresh.
We had the chicken karaage, chicken ramen and spicy miso ramen.
The chicken karaage was okay, very small pieces, not crispy or had the classic seasonings you would normally expect when having karaage.
Same with both ramens, they were okay but lacking more flavors in the broth itself. The ramens also had burnt garlic in it, not sure if thatās intentionally part of the recipe, but after a few bites it takes over the entire dish and not in a good way.
We will like to try this place out again and some of the other dishes to see if it was a one off.

The vibes are immaculate. The food was amazing! We got the classic tonkotsu, chicken karaage, and pork karaage. I loved the chicken karaage, the chicken was so juicy and the curry was delicious. Will definitely be coming back!
An absolutely delicious ramen spot! Each dish is bursting with flavor, and the portions are just right. We tried the squid karaage, which was incredibly crunchy and perfectly breaded. I highly recommend this place for a casual meal loaded with deliciousness!
Pan seared pork gyoza is very tasty, super juicy and flavorful. The dipping sauce is lightly sweet and not over powering. The pork chashu buns was soft and tender but over powered by the sauce. Classic tonkatsu broth is light and flavorful. Spicy miso has a good kick but mellows out quickly enough. The ramen was well cooked, nice spring in it. The pork in the ramen is not as tender as the one in the bun somehow.
Really good! Will come back! Love the atmosphere and the flavors were amazing! The pickled radish was sweet which was a surprise! If you want authentic ramen then this is the place to go!
Food was good, but the cashier guy who took our order was not really friendly. Maybe that’s who he is, he was not having a good day, or just doesn’t enjoy working as a server. Food we had everything tasted good, but overall, I give this restaurant 3 stars.
The food was average. Takoyaki was sour for some reason. Chicken karage was the best thing I ordered. Tonkatsu ramen was your average taste. Really had my hopes up due to the reviews but Iām sadden š„²
