How do I start off this review? I saw it was a Michelin guide restaurant (not star) but thought it was interesting to try. So I went on a 85°c day, but it was boiling hot inside like the air conditioner was out. I don’t know if this is a regular issue but even the workers weren’t happy with the heat. Not exactly the most pleasant of atmosphere but that’s fine if the food is good. I started off with a karaage which was great. It was crispy, cooked to perfection and had a great sauce to go with it(Kewpie). Then we get started with the spicy red ramen. While the noodles and accompanying ingredients are great and plentiful, the broth that’s used for it is definitely a disappointment. Simply put, it’s way too salty even if we say “it’s authentic”, because authentic ramen is nowhere near this salty. While it’s definitely flavorful, the saltiness just overpowers everything. I’d love to say it’s only my ramen that was affected but other people with me who got the white ramen also had the same complaints about saltiness. I wouldn’t be coming here again even if the reviews from others are great or the prices of salt skyrocket.

I really don’t get why people are raving about this place. I wouldn’t trust trends and fads regarding food. This restaurant was a recommended restaurant on michelin’s site as bib gourmand in 2022, not a michelin star which people keep stating. I don’t know how it tasted in 2022, but its 2023 and tastes very lacking, salty, too thick, noodles have too much starch(added with a thick soup, turned into a porridge).

You have to go! Life changing stuff here. Great service and amazing food. The appetizers are yummy too. Hits the spot every single time, it’s honestly an out-of-body experience. I recommend the white miso.

First time trying this place out and fell in love with the broth. I normally just eat noodle and the toppings but finished entire bowl this time. Yes, I was very full but could not help myself slurping soup until it was gone. They have kids menu which was a plus and it was quite larger than I thought it’d be.

It truly earned the Michelin Star. The tsukemen was excellent. Nice thick noodles and a perfect broth with excellent depth to dip into. Plan for a potential wait. Staff was friendly. Food was perfect. Stomach and heart were satiated. Highly recommended even for repeat visits. A ramen expert can tell the high quality care and attention that is given to each ingredient. A great spot I drove hours just to try and it was worth it.

Got the large Chasu White Miso Ramen with a side order of the Spicy Tao and man, this was probably the best ramen I’ve had in a long time! Definitely interested in going back again to try the rest.

This is the type of ramen that gives me a high. It’s a memorable experience eating this tsukemen. The noodles were delicious nice and thick, and held the broth beautifully. Every slurp left a smile on my face. Nice job to the team here! Worth the wait and travels.
