I wish the egg in the ramen had a runny yoke instead of being hard boiled, but the broth with the garlic bits tasted really nice in the Tokyo ramen. Takoyaki with ponzu was leaning a bit on the salty side but the refreshing green onions with the citrus taste of ponzu was good. The staff was quick and nice, we accidentally spilled some water and they helped us clean it up.

Love this Ramen place. The broth is on point and you can choose your spice level or none at all. The noodles are homemade and delicious, they do not get soft after sitting in the soup thru your meal. Chicken karaage are quite big pieces so the 4 pcs was too much, but happy for the leftovers. I would have given them 5 stars but 2 forgot our extra napkins and a straw. The 3rd one we asked brought it right away.

Staff is always nice The chef is consistent with everything that they cook I recommend the crab ramen but get it without the garlic black sauce. This has been the best food I come here all the time

I’d heard good things about this place from friends. I wouldn’t say it’s a must-try, but it definitely isn’t bad either, overall, I’d call it decent. The flavors were solid, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. One funny thing was that this was the first ramen spot I’ve been to that served a hard-boiled egg, which felt a little unusual, but I guess it’s a new twist worth trying. All in all, it’s a reliable spot if you’re in the mood for ramen.

One star for the miscommunication of the restaurant schedule. Got there at around 1:30 and one of the workers said that’s fine then one from the back comes forward and says that’s no we cannot take you. Please adjust the business hours if that’s the case. I’ve been coming to this location for many years and never had this happened to me. Went there today 12/14/25. Good and service usually is amazing just fyi. Work on the training part please.

I got the large stewed pork belly ramen tonkotsu flavor; food was okay. Unfortunately, there was hair in my soup and they didn’t even apologize or do anything about it. Was going to take a picture of the evidence but the waiter urgently took it away after I reported the incident. Overall, this restaurant deserves a solid 2 stars and I would recommend to not go again.

Portions are huge! The tonkatsu is pretty rich and the Yokohama (tonkatsu + miso) is even more filling, so you won't go home hungry. The chicken karaage was way bigger than I expected too, in a pleasant way, as we got a full-size dinner plate full of chicken. The staff was accommodating of our kiddos, bringing extra bowls for sharing and a high chair. And there was no wait on Sunday evening at 6pm!
Wonderful ramen in the most flavorful broth. Note that they close on Tuesdays and has limited hours. Very busy for great reasons 😊

I got the pork cheek ramen with extra noodles. I thought the taste was good. It's a smidge pricey ($18 base + $2 noodles) but all the tables were filled when I went, so maybe this is market rate.
I had an issue with the clover payment system- the QR code was a dead link on my Android phone. Not sure what was going on, and I consider myself relatively techy.
