Best ramen in town— hands down!

The food is great, I pass through Tucson often and try to time my stops to pick up food from here. Unfortunately it’s very unreliable unless you call ahead, they seem to close 30 mins early often…

Outdoor only (or take out) in the awesome MSA Annex. Opens for dinner at 5pm and a line forms immediately, so plan accordingly. All the food is great, grab a drink at the bar (also in the annex) while you wait!

The food was good when I first visited here 2 or 3 years ago. This time rice was too mushy. I think they put too much water when rice was cooked...

I’m trying to find out where the fish is sourced from. Website doesn’t allow any direct questions. Is it farmed fish?
We came here for the first time today based on reviews. EXCELLENT ramen! I got the black garlic ramen and my girlfriend got the hakata Tonkotsu. Both had great flavor, the egg was good, chashu was good, we do prefer thicker noodles rather than the hakata style but their noodles have a great chew and grab the broth very well. We also got the karrage and korroke and takoyaki. Takoyaki and karrage were very very good, the korroke was pretty good but could use a little more flavor in the potato mixture. Definitely will be back whenever we return in the future.

Rice bowl was very good

Service is abysmal, and the food is extremely overpriced for both the quality and quantity. Having items missing from my order was the cherry on top.

Very disappointed I came out of state for work and was very excited to try this spot as my town doesnt have ramen place for the next 200 miles.Service was slow but I could see they were busy, so I just waited my turn and was at least acknowledged by one on the workers, I had placed my order at 7:18pm i waited patiently just like everyone else while waiting. I could hear one of the locals asking a young couple how long it took for their order to come in and they had stated it only took 15 min and that they were actually pretty fast but in response they said they had actually waited an hour and 30 min laughing at the fact that they had probably forgotten about them and wish for a good meal to them. I thought nothing about it as I had only ordered 2 appetizers and that maybe they had a big order. While waiting I saw other people after me receive their food in a timely manner so i chalked it up to online ordering, but after some time i could see people actually ordering food at the register after me and receiving their meal before me. I did not receive my order until 8:20pm, 10 min before they were closing up but only because i actually had to show them that I still had the sensors to alert me when my food is ready. They didnt even realize they were missing an order. Crazy enough after I had shown them proof it only took them 10 minutes to make my food but to honest I did not care for the food anymore and had one too two bites before I gave it away as my night was ruined for waiting for food that should have took 10 minutes. These guys need to do better ,while they were having fun in the kitchen and I understand the kitchen life is hard but if you got people excited for a experience its a shame to have it ruined because you didnt pay more attention to your customers.

Really like their food but tonight we waited over an hour and when we went up to inquire, they didn’t have our order and could not find it. No apology, no “we’ll get that made right now” nothing. We had to get a refund and leave. We missed our movie and will likely not be back after this experience

Yummy food. Great space. Heads up though, they are a bit on the slower to get your food side. Relevant to those on lunch break.
Always have to get food at Kukai when we're at the Annex around dinnertime. Their rice bowls (specifically gyūdon, Kukai don, and Mt. Fuji don) and their black garlic ramen and curry ramen are some of my favorites. Excellent sushi as well.
