Visited this ramen spot located in Sunnyvale's Murphy Ave area for lunch. It wasn't very crowded during weekday lunch, which initially lowered my expectations. They offer two vegetarian ramen options: Veggie Miso Ramen and Veggie Curry Ramen. Based on the waiter's recommendation that the option is richer, I chose Veggie Curry Ramen one and requested it to be made spicy. There’s also an additional spice level called Habanero, which is the highest.
From the first bite, it hit all the right notes and maintained that flavor throughout. The noodles were delightfully chewy, the tofu was soft, and it included mushrooms, green onions, and corn. An egg can be added upon confirmation. Overall, I enjoyed the flavor of the Veggie Curry Ramen, it’s definitely worth trying, although it’s not the best vegetarian ramen I’ve ever had. If you prefer a milder flavor, I recommend the Miso Ramen for lighter veggie option. The seating and cutlery could use some improvement, but the service was good.

A very authentic taste broth. The restaurant is dark and not so inviting but the food is great.

Used to come here before Covid after shopping the farmer market. They changed the menu a bit. Like the ramen you used to get a roll slice of pork but now you get a chunk of stew pork. Still the good flavor. Also they have rice bowl now which is nice. I usually order the oyster fry too. They make it so nice here. Great dipping sauce too.

Really nice atmosphere and service. Ramen tasty, starters also good. Good place to go!

Noisy but good service and food

The tonkotsu broth is too watered down, and the lack of flavor is masked with a little too much salt. Not exactly bad, just meh. I would have appreciated a set of seasonings at the table, like minced garlic, vinegar, chili oil and pepper. Edible if you are really hungry and passing by, but not worth traveling for.

Not good ramen. Too big pieces of meat. I will not return

We visited this cozy ramen spot on a chilly Valentine’s night around 8:30 PM. It wasn’t too crowded at that hour, which made for a relaxed dining experience. The restaurant itself is quite small, with around 10 tables, and the staff—including both the servers and the host—were warm and welcoming.
As a vegetarian, I had a couple of concerns. First, the limited vegetarian options—only two ramen choices and three vegetarian curries. Second, given the small space, the strong smell of fish and seafood was quite noticeable, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times.
We ordered one of the vegetarian ramen options and a curry. The food arrived quickly, and from the very first bite of the curry, all my concerns faded—it was absolutely delicious! The ramen was flavorful as well, and the portions were generous. Even with just two dishes, we had leftovers to take home.
Overall, it’s a great ramen spot in Sunnyvale, but I’m giving it 4 stars due to the strong seafood smell inside.

If you order the lunch special, be prepared! There's a lot more food than you expect. Great friendly staff and reliably great food.
broth is very good, meat is soft which goes well with the noodles

The menu was simple--primarily ramen/curry centered, but has assorted appetizers and limited selection of mini donburi bowls.
We ordered the takoyaki, tonkotosu ramen and a curry dish. However what particularly caught my eye and was very curious about their black curry--made with activated charcoal (not sure what that meant)--so I took a chance. I paired it with creamy crab croquette (additional cost), it was surprisingly tasty. Be forewarned there is a little gritty aftertaste, but overall it was very nice and it went well with the crab croquettes. The takoyaki was surprisingly delicious; the texture was a little creamy and tasted nice--I would order it again. The tonokotsu was ordered for it to be spicy and it checked the box--it was also very flavorful. Our meal was reasonably priced at about $45 for 3 items.
The service was good & the waitstaff was attentive. I am looking forward to returning.
