Good selection of vegetarian, vegan, and standard ramen dishes. I enjoyed the Timmy Tan Tan ramen - a little bit of spice, fresh crisp from the greens, and nice depth in the broth! I usually only have half a bowl and save the rest for leftovers but I was still a bit hungry halfway through and ended up eating the entire thing.
Service is very quick with orders and refills. Very relaxed, casual atmosphere good for catching up with friends.
Unfortunately they are now very low/out of eggs due to the current egg stock issues. It does leave the ramen feeling a little naked.

Went here recently after a long while, the ramen was not as good as I first tried it. No eggs, understandable but the prices were the same if not higher than before and they removed the student discount. It was just 10% off!
I waited for it for 40-50 minutes and the chef ended up serving it to me like that. It’s burnt
. Tajia is so stupid that it covers the eggplant and silkworm boat, and the palm coffee releases its tips.

Been coming here a while but they no longer offer egg in their ramen and don't compensate for the lack of a staple in the dish.

Masa ramen is killer, the Hawaiian take on ramen is delicious! The ox tail soup is great, haven't had the mocoloco yet but it's on my list. My kid loves the miso hungry as the flavors are milder than the broke the mouth, which is my usual. The service is always friendly to boot.

This is a cool little hip restaurant on University Avenue. I originally thought it was Japanese, which it is, but it’s more like Hawaiian really.
We had a few things. Edamame, Manini fries, Katsu chicken curry, Korean short ribs, and Loco moco. All orders came with either Mac salad or potato salad.
The Manini fries were pretty awesome! Perfectly crispy nice with and a nice flavor. The loco Moko was definitely overcooked. Well done inside and nearly burnt on theedge. If not for that, it might’ve been pretty good. The chicken Katsu curry was decent. The best dish was the Korean short ribs however… It also costs $30, almost double of all the other dishes.
if I were to go back, I think I would try the Ramen.

After having been on ramen spree trying out multiple places, this place has yet to be topped. My go to place for Ramen, quick service, cool seating, nice staff. After saving their signature for the last, I officially tried out all of their Ramen dishes last time I went in for Broke the mouth. So far all of the dishes I have had, has been amazing.

Tasty ramen and really kind staff!
Best Japanese food I've had since being in Osaka in April. This ramen is for real, made in house the traditional way boiling bones for hours. I will dive here from Marin to have real Japanese food. Can't find decent Japanese food in Marin, and I'd venture to say that this place is equal to any other Japanese restaurants in SF too. Some Hawaiian items too.

Best Ramen in the area, hands down. I’ve lived in Japan and tried so many Ramen shops in the area and around the world. Simple menu that focuses on quality and flavor. Ramen is really rich and complex and packs a punch in flavor. Huge kudos to the chef, dude is killing it. Thanks!

Great vist! It's closest to real Japanese food I have had. The staff was great, and the food was great! Parking can be challenging.
