This ramen house ruined all other ramen for me but in a good way.
From the moment you step inside, the air is thick with the kind of savory aroma that makes your stomach growl on instinct.
The broth alone deserves a standing ovation; deep, rich, and layered, as if it’s been simmering with patience, love. One sip and you realize this isn’t just soup; it’s a slow building, soul warming experience.
Best ramen I've ever had and I've tried many ramen restaurants. I always opt for the tonkatsu ramen and it never disappoints. They also have a lovely assortment of sake for whatever your preference is. I highly recommend this place!

Ramen was ok but the service was terrible and surprisingly it was not the staff but the owner, so disappointing

Great ramen place, staff is amazing and the decor is fantastic. We had the black ramen and it was really good. My only complaint is that the broth is not served super hot, so the ramen goes cold rather quickly and then you have black garlic oil greasy feeling on your lips. Overall, a great ramen place. The tonkotsu broth is rich and creamy, perfectly paired with several toppings. Recommend adding some chili oil if you'd like a kick to the black option as it doesn't have any spice to it at all.

Dripping with Japanese culture and authenticity. Tonkotsu had the traditional thick pork broth with nicely seared and tender pork pieces. Loved the curled chewy noodles. Be aware they do use a lot of black and white pepper in their ramen, which doesn't feel traditional but did add a kick of flavor, although it was a bit too much for my taste. Agadashi tofu was nicely fried and juicy in the inside. Loved the beautiful decor and the low volume pop rock music. Taking off 1 star because the cleanliness might be a bit questionable. A few people in my family got sick afterwards, can't be sure it was from here but we think so.

We really loved the ambiance of this restaurant and the flavor of this ramen. However, myself and one other dining with me have both have stomach aches and digestive issues after eating the Gonzo Red and the Miso flavors. Wish I could say that I’ll visit again, but no ramen has ever done this to me before!

It is not often that I write a review out of pure admiration.
This review comes From my heart and as someone who has spent over a decade in the food and beverage industry.
I feel compelled to reach any audience I can to let them in on a local secret: amazing drinks, incredible food, and phenomenal people.
Here’s the truth…I’ve spent many hours at this restaurant and bar wondering how they have created something so special. The answer is hard work, loyalty, and integrity.
This family has done everything they can to make dreams come true and serve the community.
I could write a long list of all the things they have done for me personally, but it would be a disservice to the business they run. They treat every patron as a guest in their own home.
Stop by and taste the food, enjoy the drinks; and talk to some of the best people you will ever meet. I promise you that you will leave full of great food and gratitude.
To the Gonzo family: thank you for making a difference, thank you for treating people right, thank you for serving great food, and thank you for always going out of your way to make people happy! You deserve all the success!
Thank you
