One of the best ramen spots we’ve had in the area. The broth was rich, the chashu was well-cooked, and the spice level was very satisfying. The server was friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be back!

The last couple times i’ve been here the food quality has been off. I used to really love all the food that they served like the loco moco and the ramen but something about the depth of the dishes is gone. Feels like an owner change. Maybe id go here again but rather go to LNL for hawaiian food fix

Quick and easy place for ramen and curry. The waitress was nice and friendly with the kids. However, I do wish the place did not smell like cleaning products. It’s great that they are clean but it gross when all you smell is lemon cleaner when you’re eating.
They have a lot of seating, great to accommodate groups.

It had been awhile since I’ve been, so thought we’d try it out. Unfortunately, it seems the quality of the food has changed. I order the loco moco. When it was first brought out, the bottom of the hamburger patties were burnt to a crisp. I don’t mind if they’re a little charred, but this was beyond edible. I think they thought it may pass since they put the burnt side down and smothered with the gravy. The second attempt was better. It came out pretty fast, which made me think they’re pre-cooked and reheated before serving. I probably should’ve ordered the gravy on the side. A bit salty and way too much. The fried gyoza was ok. Nothing stood out about it, good or bad. The katsu curry was also ok. Although, it was heavily breaded. Other guests at another table had ramen, which they seemed to enjoy. If I decide to ever go back, I’d probably get ramen instead of any of their rice plates. But with so many specialty ramen spots, not sure they would be my go-to if craving ramen.

This is basically right across the street from the Trader Joe’s on university. I admittedly don’t eat ramen often so I don’t have much to compare it to, so this is genuinely some of the best noodle-soup-dish I’ve ever head. The broth is rich but not heavy, the ramen noodles are thin and firm, and the toppings are also excellently seasoned.
This also seems to be more fusion-based so there’s a lot of Hawaiian and some Korean options too. They have rice plates too.
The portions are enormous. I always either take half of my dish home for the next day or walk out fighting for my life because of how full I am, which I can’t say for most Berkeley spots. I would say the prices are on par with Bay Area prices, but the portions are generous. The bowl is basically the size of your head, and the rice plates looks more like a party platter.
Service was fast and the servers are friendly. I like the decor. Highly recommend this place!

I visited twice, both times the “good stuff” on the menu are all marked “sold out”, which is about one-third of the entire menu. The other available foods are just so so. Disappointed.
It was a bit quiet when we were there on a weekday night, but the service was nice and the food was tasty. Everyone at the table tried the Kuni (Black garlic) ramen. It was very tasty and a good portion. ($17)

Super tasty Tonkotsu ramen, rich with flavors! We can tell that quality ingredients were used. We also had Tako (fried baby octopus), and it was so delicious with the dipping aioli sauce. Prices are reasonable as well.
the mini chicken curry is sooo good
