Wow from a person that’s lived around the area for a few years (and worked around even longer), this place was hidden in plain sight. If I had known their ramen is exceptional, I would’ve been here sooner.

now i’m very particular with ramen spots, This place was very good! the ramen wasn’t really the issue, maybe the broth was on the lighter side and the medium a bit spicer than i thought. but overall a classic bowl and i would come again. The yuzu soda wasn’t really what i expected , basically like sparking water with some yuzu peels inside not really sure, but was good with the salty ramen as a balance to the palette. The chocolate mochi was ok nothing special but it’s ok , was a nice finish to the meal. the service was ok the lady was sweet but 30 min before close and they rush the bill on you, which feels kinda rushed but not too bad. overall 4/5 but would come back.

I am very particular about my Ramen preferences and although I lavishly give 5 stars to almost any restaurant, Ramen shops do tend to get a 4 star at best from me. The tsukemen has always been my litmus test for what a good ramen shop is, at least in my opinion, and this shop passes the test. The broth is delicious, the noodles are thick and with the right amount of chewiness and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

The red tonkotsu ramen was hearty, with soft charsui meat and the right level of spiciness. This is one of the better quality ramen places in the WeHo area and I will definitely return!

I had the white tonkotsu ramen and my wife had the chicken ramen (mild). I’ve had a lot of ramen and this is up there with the best I’ve ever had. The pork in the tonkotsu ramen was very savory and tender. The overall flavor of the broth was wonderful. The chicken ramen was also very good, but I did prefer the white tonkotsu. We had ordered the chicken ramen as mild, but it was still rather spicy, so be aware. The chicken was not as savory or tender as the pork, but that is to probably to be expected based on the kinds of meat. Service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend.

Omg this place was great! Really didn’t know what to expect… but the Popcorn Ramen was delicious and the Bomb Ramen indeed Bomb . Only two tables outdoor for dining (more inside). The service was amazing. Our server was so sweet and attentive. My husband likes spicy and I do NOT. Our server made sure to bring me extra sauce for the gyoza with spice on the side. Little things like that, which make all the difference. So thoughtful. But most importantly… THIS RAMEN WAS REALLY GOOD. Will be back.

A lot of options here both in broth bases – soy, salt, miso – as well as toppings. I ordered the “bomb” ramen, medium spicy. It has ground pork and cabbage which became al dente in the hot broth and lent a bit of a different flavor to the bowl, but I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back for more!
