Ramen is ok. For home made broths and noodles, we were expecting alot more flavor town. The gyzo were delish though.

This place is some of the best ramen I've had outside of Japan. It's very popular so expect a bit of wait. The Nagoya fried chicken is definitely a great appetizer to get and different from typical kaarage. I got the tantan ramen with a pork cutlet and extra sliced chashu which were all delicious. I really wanted to try their braised chashu slices but they only have limited servings each day. Get there early if you want to try it!

Great service, food was great. They run out of the braised pork so if you want that you have to go early. I particularly loved the fried chicken side. Very tasty.

Holy mother of Jesus this was the best ramen I’ve had in my life. I’ve tried many spots and this place took the number 1 spot. I was super hesitant and nervous cause the menu was different than a lot of other ramen spots I’ve had but it did not disappoint. I can’t wait to come back, I literally could not put my chopsticks down. It’s small inside tho so be prepared to be a little cramped. I will say I will probably have to try another location, the smell of cigar was way too strong and ruining the experience, especially being pregnant and for my children.

I love coming here. Depending the time you come, there could be a long wait so plan accordingly.
My friend and I ate here for the first time and luckily there was no wait. We came about 30 minutes after they opened at 5:00 PM.
Food was flavorful, and service was fine. I love the fried chicken.
However, I did wish they cover the bill as a gesture of respect while we were dining. Also, I’ve been having stomach issues, since eating there. Probably my stomach just isn’t used to it, but it definitely affected the overall experience.

We went here because it was on the Michelin guide. We ordered: Nagoya style fried chicken, Tonkotsu, and TanTan. Our server Rafael told us their special going on, the difference between the normal chicken and the Nagoya, and what he would recommend as ramen; tonkotsu as a good base as if you like this, you’ll like a lot of their ramen and the Tantan as his personal favorite. He even got me an apron because he noticed I was wearing white and he wanted to save my shirt! Honestly, he made this meal and experience for us.
The food was ok. The chicken, depending on where you bite, was too strong with its flavor and wasn’t balanced throughout. The ramen was decent but it’s nothing out of this world; to be fair, the only reason my expectations were so high was because it was a Michelin guide recommendation.
Overall, not bad, I would come back. If Rafael is there, you’ll get excellent service!
