We tried this place for the first time a few months ago, and we keep coming back for the spicy black garlic ramen and the spicy miso ramen. The ramen is consistently delicious, and we like the chicken gyoza and yogurt soju too. The space is relaxing and the server is friendly. Can’t recommend enough.

Highly recommended. I came for a late lunch/early dinner before they closed for the later afternoon. Was a bit worried that given the timing, food wouldn’t be was good, but turned out nothing to fear. I had the agadashi tofu appetizer which was nicely done, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The spicy miso was also tasty l, noodles, pork and veggies. The background jazz was also soothing. Will be back.

Grabbed dinner to go. Best Ramen we have experienced in Oakland. It's a little of the main route. Maybe that's because we don't know the city that we'll yet. We will visit again.

I only got the classic pork ramen. It lacked the usual ramen that you can taste any where that has ramen. I asked for hot Sake and it was cold. After the subpar service and food, they wanted a tip. I gave a tip worthy of their service. Overall, just not a fan.

Used to go to this place for lunch all the time. Got the spicy miso ramen. Noodles are homemade, thin and somewhat al dented. Great texture. Char siu was tender and delicious. They had two types of char siu in the bowl. Mushrooms have good texture. The seaweed and green onion garnish take it over the top. Broth was a tad over reduced this time. Maybe it's just been a while

Spicy Miso Ramen was great! Also tried Tonkatsu but preferred the spicy Miso broth more. Everything is good here, must try!

Super cute spot, service is always super quick, for ordering and receiving food. This is the best Ramen spot I've found in the Bay Area so far.

Super solid shoyu ramen with chashu. Broth and veggies were excellent. Pretty quiet dinner scene on a Thursday.

Tried their spicy miso ramen. Noodles were good, chewy. I didn’t like their broth. Felt it was strangely overpowered by the kombu they put in it. Had green onions, mushrooms, a yummy jammy egg, and bok choy. Not my favorite ramen in the bay. Service was fine enough.

Hate to leave a review like this but in a town that’s bursting at the seams with solid ramen options, this was just not good. I chose this based on location and the solid google reviews, but the ramen was just not edible, almost none of us finished our meals, nor the vinegary beer that was just not drinkable. No comment or “how is everything” from the waiter. Sorry but skip this one.
