A ramen place that doesn’t disappoint! I've been to so many ramen restaurants around the South Bay, but something always felt off. Either the flavor was missing, too salty, or just plain boring. But my hunt is over—this place is the one!! Their rice bowls especially the gyudon is bomb!!

What really caught my attention was the katsu curry ramen. It looks delicious and tastes even better. The katsu stays crispy even under the hot broth. How do they do...

Came today with families and has ordered Tonkatsu Ramen with less sodium. Soup base was rich, flavourful, and very tasty. Ramen was bouncy. Egg was savory, smooth and silky. We all love this Ramen place. Recommended.

I've never eaten here before, but the vibe was old school and nostalgic. The broth tastes like any homemade broth from a family-owned shop in Japan, and the takoyaki is delicious and melt-your-tongue hot! The pork in the fried rice is fall-apart-tender. The radio plays music interspersed with loud ads and every order is announced loudly with a "PLEASE, CHEF!"

Definitely eat here.
