They turned creamy chicken ramen into just chicken ramen. I’m heartbroken. It was still great but not as satisfying. Their egg and takoyaki is the best ever, it’s been 7 years since I’ve had it for the first time and still, no other ramen place can top it. My parents are also great fans of the carnitas ramen and my mother even said she thinks it’s better than normal pozole. I’m still sad about the CREAMY chicken tho 😔
The food is always good when I come here. I recommend getting the Tajima White Ramen. Super good!

Tajima just reinforced how I distaste ordering to-go now. Because restaurants think they can skimp on portions when it comes to to-go orders. I paid for extra baby bok choy but what i received was, imagine, one of the smallest organic baby bok choy you can purchase at the store, THEN half that! That's what i received in my order. To make matters worse, I hardly got any broth. It was just 1/3 of their to-go container. That's about 1/3 or less of the portion when I dined in few days earlier. When I dined in that day, it was a good amount that I left the restaurant w/out finishing it. So, why couldn't I get the same amount of broth as when I dined in a few days earlier?!?! I don't mind paying for the costly ramen price just as long as I'm given the portion I paid for.

The pork in the broth here is to die for. Had the original ramen and carne asada eamen both tasted amazing. Place is super clean and staff was very friendly. Highly recommend.
Service is top notch. They are not too pushy and annoying but knows what you actually need. We can’t recommend takoyaki enough. Their takoyaki is so good. We also had the traditional and tajima ramen and both turn out so good. The broth is so creamy and we even ordered more than we can handle but we finished it all. Definitely, coming back.

Came here with our kids. Sticker shock may hit you, but you are paying for authentic Ramen. From the variety of Ramen to the fried rice, there was nothing on the menu that did not meet expectations. Would recommend coming early to get seating. The parking garage on the back side is also a nice place if all of the front is full. 🍥

Incredibly strange experience. Weird vibes from the waitstaff from the moment we walked in. Our waiter was the reason why we wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible. While taking our order, he would try to push something completely different from what we said we wanted. I want a hard cider, “you should try the matcha”, I want the traditional ramen, “you should try the curry ramen”, my girlfriend just wanted chicken teriyaki, “you should try the spicy red ramen”. What? What server does this? We want what we’re ordering. Very bad energy coming from this place. On top of that the ramen was subpar. Just tasted like top ramen I could make at home. I really wanted to give this place a chance but we just wanted to get out of there ASAP.
