First time here and we had the Tonkotsu Shio Ramen, Yamadaya Bun and Tempura. Everything was tasty and service was quick. This nice little ramen shop has the feel and comfort of a ramen shop in Japan. The menu is extensive, you could easily order more than you can eat, but you want to try everything. There is limited parking, but there is a small lot nearby.

I've been here a few times when I was younger and a few times as an adult, I always have a good time yet this most recent it just wasn't great. I got the Spicy Tonkatsu. The chasu pork was cold and not tender having to eat the whole piece rather than bite it off (it wouldn't separate) the egg was plain 0 marinate flavor. And not to mention the worst part is the portion to price, for 17 dollars after tax to have the same portion as brick ramen was just ridiculous. Nothing jumped out as amazing or memorable.

Worst ramen I’ve ever had. Garlic edamame with raw garlic and the vegan ramen was so bland 😭 First time I can’t finish a ramen…

Tonkotsu ramen was delicious, but...
The noodles were way too boiled and too salty...
However, it seems to be quite popular, and take-out orders came in all the time, so I guess it was tailored to the tastes of the locals.

Ordered from here on door dash and it's not a good place for Japanese food. The chicken roll--first mistake is using chicken--just looks like boiled chicken on top of poorly rolled sushi with unidentifiable veggies in the middle. All the sushi is bad.

Why is this place so popular? I am blown up by the good reviews, because it was quite the opposite. I've been wanting to try this place for a while for the love of Ramen.
I got Kakuni Shoyu Ramen. Taste was pretty good, but it didn't feel fresh or filling. Meat was chewy, didn't feel fresh either.
My husband got vegan ramen. It was alright. He also asked for side of extra noodles that took very long to arrive. When it arrived it was undercooked. It ruined entire broth of course. Then instead of making a new bowl they took his dirty used bowl to boil the entire thing again. It came overcooked and extremely hotter compared to the original order.
I also ordered tuna roll which never arrived so I had to remind them. It was the worst I've ever had. I took one bite and that was it. I told them I can't have it and had them take that off our bill. Tuna roll was stale, chewy, hard, and didn't taste good.
Service was pretty bad too. We had to get up 10 times to ask for things we needed.
They dont have high chair for babies, so that's another thing to keep in mind. We had to manage our little baby on a chair while trying to eat.
Their bathroom is at the back which doesn't have access from the inside. You have to walk out and go all the way behind to access the bathroom. Parking is also limited if you arrive there in rush hour.
Nothing was worthwhile here including food, quality, service, accessibility, etc. There are so many great ramen places around. We are never going back to this one. It was a waste of money and time.

I got there 45 minutes before closing. The blonde Hispanic girl with glasses greeted me, then went to the back and carried on a conversation for so long I had to get up to ask for a menu. Even when bringing out the utensils I requested, she stood at the threshold and continued talking. The sushi was bad. The fried onions were very stale, and the fish looked discolored like it had been stored at the wrong temperature. I've been coming here for a while, but today was amiss.

The serving sizes are huge! The food is DELICIOUS; cooked very professionally.

The service is efficient and attentive.

The seating area is small but if you bring a group of 7 there is a table you could all fit - just maybe call beforehand to see if there's a wait. We went around 7:30pm so there was no line, but I did see a waitlist outside - and menu stands - so I assume a wait can be normal.
The interior is cute! First thing your met with is a big tree, in full blossom, coming out of the big table!

Authentic Ramen with delicious meats and toppings. Broth is very well done ? flavorful and the service is great! While we were there they had a few of their regulars.

The fact that they have a group of folks who keep coming back to them is a testament to the food taste and quality. I must say it's priced well for the amount of food you get!

Only zonk I have is atmosphere. Not that it doesn't give you the Japanese vibe but the place is small and only fits like 20 people inside. Also, if you need a restroom you have to walk around the facility out to the back. But quality of food and taste is great! Definitely recommend if you are in Ramen mood. Oh and they have a decent amount of sushi for a great price! ?
