The food is insane. So good. I’ve never had ramen that had such a deep intricate flavor like that before. Spicyness level was perfect too, I got the spicy chicken broth with the pork. The calamari was great too.

I had dinner here last night and found the service to be prompt. I ordered vegetable ramen and added additional toppings of tofu edamame ball and egg. The noodles were cooked perfectly, soft but with a good chew, not over cooked. There were lots of yummy veggies like bokbchoy, generous portion, some were on top of the ramen pictured, and some were below it in the broth, there was also shredded green onion, corn and a lot of savory mushrooms. The broth was flavored with soy but wasn’t salty. I enjoyed the bite of seaweed! One of my favorite parts was the boiled egg, which was a little sweet and savory, but I liked the contrast of the sweetness against the earthy and robust broth. I want to try the street noodles next time! Great veggie options and seafood options include shrimp

Don’t let the exterior of this local ramen shop deceive you. Inside there is quality, affordable, well portioned ramen in a pretty cozy atmosphere. I got the house spicy miso ramen, it was rich and delicious. The presentation was excellent, I’ll be back!

Order one of their SPICY bowls. It looked beautiful. Once I tried it the broth was sweet. Bamboo shoots were sweet, the egg was extremely salty also sweet. The egg is usually my favorite part and I love salty food but that was too much. Went with another person and their bowl was a lot better but I’d say still average. The waiter was wonderful. The place was extremely clean and was a nice experience except for the bowl of ramen.

Went with a party of 8 last April and it wasn’t too busy that time of night. It was a little confusing because there were 2 different entrances. I got the Tonkotsu ramen with extra noodles. The broth was thick and flavourful.

Super fast service in chill digs with great food. Good sized portions and decent prices for ramen in this area. The broth (I had tonkotsu) was silky and delicious. The sweet pork belly was delicious! Highly recommend for a fast but yummy ramen bowl.

Excellent hole in the wall ramen place. I got the Hokkaido miso ramen and my husband got the Tonkotsu with pork belly. Both were excellent but I think the Tonkotsu was better. Will come back!
