Never in my life have I had ramen worse than this one. It was disgusting—we just left it untouched after the first spoonful. The taste was awful; it was impossible to force down a second spoon. The chicken was so hard it was impossible to chew. The fried calamari wasn’t first freshness—it tasted like it had been warmed up, just like everything else on the plate. What a complete waste of time and money. Avoid this place at all costs if you value decent ramen.

The restaurant was under construction on one side, which was a mess. So, my party and I left. They should have closed the place until they were done with the construction because it was no place for dining. I won’t return because of the first impression I had, and the parking was very difficult.

I ordered this off of Grubhub and was genuinely shocked because the ramen was that good. Broth was super flavorful! Chashu wondefully soft! You usually expect a mediocre level of quality when your food arrives 20 minutes after it's made and in a plastic container, but it was genuinely so delicious I'll have to go to this place in person and bring friends!

Went here with my friends while we were spending the day in Glendale, and found this place on maps while we were looking on Maps.
To be completely honest, I had very low expectations for this place, but the food completely blew the expectations.
This place has some of the best Tonkotsu Ramen I've ever tasted! The broth had a nice warm and creamy texture to it. They also have different selections of meat to add to your ramen (along with a no-meat option). The food definitely hit the spot since it was a cold outside with on-and-off rain when we visited.
Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of my bowl since I forgot to take one.
For pricing, it was definitely worth their menu price as the food was very high quality. Tax wasn't an issue, but the Service Charge was 18% which was a little ridiculous but understandable considering the outstanding service. You can see our order in the image with our receipt below. After adding taxes and the service charge, it'll probably be around $20 - 30 per person.
The atmosphere of this restaurant was also very nice. The layout felt very crammed since it was a small dining area, but they somehow made it work. Me and my friends were in a group of 8 people, and were sat on the chairs hugging the window. The decorations and lighting of the dining area felt cozy and welcoming.
Some final thoughts, this restaurant was definitely a highlight of our day, and me and my friends will definitely be visiting again sometime!

Here’s my first and last experience at this place. I walked in with my 9 year old son and asked for a menu. Called my wife to discuss what we would eat while looking at the menu. While I was on the phone a guy comes up to me and asked me if I was going to order. I had to say “excuse me I’m on the phone” and I could hear the guy by the cook (which I can only assume was a manager of some type) asking if I was going to order or not. Hearing him say that as I turned around walked up look at him and of course I responded; “yes, I wasn’t sure what’s the rush was for”. My phone call was 4 mins to be exact. They brought my order out quick but when I got home well… you can look at the photo yourself. I might have just ordered a Maruchan cup of noodle compared to the bowls they served being there. I called to asked about that and it’s funny how I didn’t have to explain much for him to have an excuse ready that they give 12oz of broth the size of a soda can. Not to mention right after he said you can come see for yourself, is when he hung up on me. I called back hoping to get the guy again but now the register girl answers. Had to remind her that it was a pretty terrible experience being there the first time and I was going to leave this review for it. That’s near $20 for ramen for you here I don’t know you tell me if this is right!? Parking is terrible by the way so good luck!!
I stumbled upon a humble Japanese noodle spot with authentic broth and no frills. The miso-based ramen had depth and real flavor. Staff were friendly but quiet, just focused on cooking. No signage, but it’s there if you look. Great find for noodle lovers

My ramen was fantastic and so was the ikigai karaage! Their broth is really flavorful and rich. Portion sizes feel slightly larger than other ramen places.

I really enjoyed this ramen! The broth was tasty but not heavy, and the noodles were well cooked. The service was quick and it wasn’t crowded even on a Sunday.

The ramen was just okay. The broth lacked depth—it wasn’t bad, just kind of flat and one-note. Noodles were a bit overcooked for my taste, and the chashu was more dry than tender. Service was friendly though, and the place was clean. I really wanted to love it, but it didn’t live up to the hype.
