I think this is one of the better ramen spots I’ve had across LA. The broth here is so rich and flavorful, definitely has a distinguished flavor that makes you look up at your friends and go “WOW.” The noodles were also on point. Their karaage is also solid.

I got the tonkatsu ramen. The broth here is amazing. It kind of tasted like seolleongtang soup which is a Korean milky beef bone soup, but a pork version of that. The food tasted clean and simple as it should. High quality bowl.

After trying a variety of mediocre vegan ramens in the area, I feel compelled to write that this vegan ramen was the best I’ve ever had. The broth was rich and creamy and the variety of veggies as toppings helped elevate the dish and flavors. If you are in the mood for a filling (I brought half home!) and well balanced broth with a great sesame base this is your spot!

The vegan ramen is delicious! The broccoli in it is amazing!!!! I want a whole plate. The broth is the perfect amount of creaminess and there’s a nice spice bite in it. The noodles are perfect, not a big clump and chewy and dense.

Incredible! It checks all the boxes: Perfect ramen egg & custard; tasty, fatty and generous chashu; great tonkotsu flavor; delicious black garlic on request; chewy yummy noodles; big portion. Nothing to envy to the best spots in Sawtelle, Little Tokyo, or may I dare say Tokyo itself. Bravo!!!

This is a contemporary restaurant serving delicious hot ramen, umami rice bowls and simple side dishes. The Tonkotsu ramen is my go to order here; the pork is soft and tasty, the broth just the right degree of salty. The rice bowl with salmon and tuna is light yet filling. The rice buns with marinated pork belly are too sweet for my taste. This place is worth a try especially on a cold day.

JAH shoo uh HYNZ man
The food was very tasty. I was a bit disappointed with one small aspect of the meal. I ordered an extra piece of pork. In the bowl one of the pieces was at least 80% fat. When I asked for it to be removed from the check, I wasn’t met with the best response. It’s worth noting it was $1.90… Overall, this is a good spot of Ramen. Priced well too.

Super delicious ramen! We got the tonkatsu and lived it. Great broth and tasty components. I do wish kikurage was offered as a topping, but it was still great.
