Family and I arrived a little late to our hotel so there was some struggle finding a restaurant that was open and one that everyone was down for. Stumbled on this ramen place and seeing its Chochin lit up in a sunsetting town, I knew that if the food wasn’t 10/10 at least there would now be a pretty cool memory attached to our first night on the island. Safe to say the food was awesome! The Tonkotsu and Shoyu Ramen got my the kids’ seal of approval.

The time you order the time you receive your soup is too long we waited too long one hour !! Sorry but for fast food restaurant it’s not acceptable !

Delicious ramen and nice restaurant. I like that you're able to sub gluten free noodles on all options. Easy to order on a big tablet station and delicious!

One of the best restaurants in town. 10/10 would recommend. The self-serve style ordering means there's always something you'll like, and the food is just awesome.

The service was good, the restaurant was kept clean but the Ramen was disapointing and felt it was overpriced.

I’ve eaten from plenty of ramen places and have never had such a bizarre and bad-tasting tea in my life. The image on the menu shows a pitcher with almost clear tea, described as “premium” tea. What we got was murky/cloudy with tea leaves of irregular size and stems that had green powder(?) practically disintegrating in the liquid. My boyfriend had an upset stomach after drinking some and I couldn’t force myself to take a second sip.

The ramen wasn’t the worst I’ve had but the noodles were undercooked, some sticking together, and were quite short. The broth was also very salty.

It’s all self-serve (ordering at a kiosk, pouring your own drinks, and taking your own food from the bar) and felt more like fast-food rather than a restaurant. (The long tables clearly meant for multiple groups to eat at the same place)

Great ramen, not too salty. A bit pricey for the portion size.
