Our server was great! He was very nice and answered our questions regarding the different types of Ramen. Very kind. The Ramen was good but not amazing. The chicken was great. Our iced matcha late and melon cream float were delicious!

This place usually isn’t too busy and it’s nice that they’re open pretty late. The service is always great. I often get the curry beef udon, which you can’t find at a lot of places. Has a great menu of things other than ramen, although their ramen is pretty good too.

The fried tofu here was probably the best cooked tofu I’ve ever had, and the “potato tornado” was very delicious. So the miso broth was great, but I really didn’t like the consistency of the noodles of my ramen. They were way way too chewy and thick, and unfortunately it killed the entire bowl for me.

I ate here a few weeks ago and the don katsu was beyond good. The tornado potato was also delicious, and my boyfriend liked the ramen he got as well. The waiter was very kind, and the restaurant had an overall soothing vibe.

The place is spacious and has good ambiance. Quick service. Great staff. I ordered Tonkatsu which comes with a soup,rice and cabbage salad. It was delicious. I also tried the Takoyaki, it is good but could be better. But nonetheless this is a great restaurant.

It has a lot of food variety here. I ordered the Kuro signature ramen. It is topped with fried garlic chips. The best is the soup, my husband ordered the tonkachu, the soup is creamy yet not too strong, the perfect taste. I would suggest the owner improve on the presentation of the ramen, soup was too much which covered the egg, chashu and noodles.

Cute ramen spot. Came for lunch. The ramen was excellent. I shared the vegetarian miso ramen with a friend. We also tried the dumplings which were cooked well (pan fried). I got the Thai latte and he got the passion fruit tea. Everything was flavored well. The ramen was light and not too salty. I would definitely come again and try some of their sushi.

THE BEST RAMEN IVE EVER HAD! I had the veggie shoyu & my fiancé had the meat lover ramen. They gave us so much food like WOW! My fiancés was packed full of meat in every bite she was saying she was amazed by the amount of meat. It’s a crazy amount of food for the price. There’s a beautiful noodles to toppings/ingredients ratio!
