What our guests are saying
The ramen was spot on. The broth was filled with flavor and the pork melted in my mouth. I had the garlic chicken karaage and takoyaki as well it's a happy place especially if you like garlic. Everything was well balanced with amazing flavor.
Robbie Bulilan

Francesca Celestino
Shoyu ramen was so good! I’m used to a thin salty broth and this one was unique. So flavorful and slightly sweet. The pork was so tender! I got take out and the service was amazing!
Naz R.
Attentive and friendly staff. The broth had such an authentic taste but the chashu was unforgettable! That pork was slow braised and had that fall-apart-quality when chewing it. Delicious!
