Went through the drive through and the lady working at 3:50, Sunday, had a HORRIBLE attitude. We got no utensils and she was being rude when we were asking for descriptions of one of the menu items.
The Gyoza is yummy though

Would not recommend. Pretty generic bowl of noodles. Got the rokuten ramen and the broth wasn't there. Noodles were average. Toppings were below average. Service average. Atmosphere below average. The highlight of the meal was the kaarage dipping sauce. Now I understand why no business has survived at this location over the last 20 years.

The speaker at the drive thru was super quiet. I asked for thick noodles, the guy gave me thin noodles. Charged me and told me it'd be ready in 5 minutes. He came back after the wait, and he tried charging me again. He couldn't remember he had charged me already. That was awkward and kinda funny.

10/10 for the quantity of food!
Ordered a lunch combo, came in regular size ramen, big salad with three fried dumplings and a drink. There’re like 7 slices of meat on top of ramen (other ramen place only have 1-3 at most) so you can literally have meat with ramen every single bite.
Chicken karaage is tender and juicy 👌🏻oh and they have drive thru option!

I love this ramen shop! The service is always friendly and welcoming—the staff always greets you with a big smile. The ramen is delicious and flavorful, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out you can add extra noodles for only $2.50. The location is super convenient since it’s close to my home. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!

The food here is very good. But if you are gluten free be careful. The menu says some of the ramen bowls are gluten free if you order them with bean or rice noodles, but they also contain eggs marinated in soy sauce. Just make sure to ask your server to double check that it is indeed gluten free.
3 stars not for the taste or service, but for the mislabeled menu.
The server was very helpful, which was my first time there she helped me with my order. The food was very good, and big portions definitely going back again

Rewriting my review because the owner decided to be combative with my previous one. I used to come here because it was cheap and DECENT. Nothing to brag about, but at least it was affordable. Now? Smaller portions and an increase in price? I eat ramen regularly and can tell the difference between a premium bowl and one that is simply trying to taste premium. Inflation or not, the math doesn’t add up here. On top of that the physical space has its own issues, the interior feels thrown together, old paper menus, awkward seating layout. The communal seating might be “trendy” if it weren’t so cramped.
All in all, this isn’t a MUST visit ramen spot. If you want to spend high end prices on a not so high end bowl that’s your choice, just be aware you might leave wishing you’d gone somewhere with higher quality broth, more comfortable seating, and maybe a better health rating. I’ll reconsider my rating if I ever decide to come back, assuming they’re still in business by then.
I got a beef ramen spicy level 3 and it’s very tasty, also garlic edamame .. let me tell you they were garlicky but good overall.
