In the span 1 week and a half of discovering this place I went to eat here already 4 times. Every time I went I was very satisfied with my meal. The ramen broth was deep in taste without feeling to greasy and like the disgustingly heavy. They are also very consistent with which I love I hate when you go somewhere and it tastes different the second time you go to a place. I think I will definitely be a regular here!

Love love love the truffle wagyu ramen! I can’t stop thinking about it after I had it yesterday. I can’t wait to eat there again! The only downside was the mochis. They were not chewy at all, they tasted like old cakes, one bite just fell apart

The service, atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was great! However, the food was just OK. We enjoyed the appetizers more than the main ramen bowls. The bbq eel was very good, but overpriced.

Loved the decor and graffiti on the walls! The food was pretty good. Ended up getting the ‘hell’ hotness, but the spice was really only in the broth. Definatly manageable though!

The most delicious appetizer of pillowy deep fried mochi. I got the shoyu ramen and my friend got the classic tonkatsu ramen. The broth had depth and portion was just right on top of the rest of our appetizers. Great service and even better food! Will be coming back.

My wife and I have been here a few times the past month. I like how the soup broth wasn’t all based on the same… They had chicken, pork, beek, veggie options. This time around I got the truffle mushroom veggie ramen. The broth was a bit creamy but light, yet still flavorful. The best part we’re the toppings…the lotus root chips were SO DAMN GOOD!!

Really cool atmosphere, but it’s a very tight space that gets crowded quickly. The ramen was good but nothing special. Some of them are a bit pricey too. The most interesting part about this place is probably the spice levels, so if you’re into spicy foods, this is the place for you.

Excellent ramen. We ordered a spicy tonkotsu ramen spicy LV 3 loaded and a regular tonkotsu ramen and it was absolutely delicious. Ambiance was also on point. Food came out shortly after we ordered. Highly recommended!!
