It is really a hit or a miss. and when they hit, it is the best ramen I have ever had (compared to the bay or la) but that is personal preference. Often times they mess up the orders, like completely wrong or mossing items or flavor is watered down. But I keep coming back because when it is good it is very good

This is a very solid place to get ramen and the last time we went the service was absolutely awesome! Vanny and Frankie were awesome and deserve the highest pay possible!

Food - Only giving two stars because the Spam Musubi wasn’t bad, and was crispy like I requested. Sadly that was the only highlight. I ordered Shoyu and my mother ordered Veggie. The broth was serviceable, but the Shoyu was lacking in flavor and the Chashu was cut half as thick (paper thin) as other restaurants. But the real lowlight was the noodles. I’ve legitimately had microwave ramen cooked better than this. They were hard and tasted of starch, making our mouth dry as we chewed. Unacceptable.
Service - We felt rushed by the lady at the cashier, asking us “anything else?” numerous times, and we had to request a fork and chili oil twice. The food was presented nicely and was quick, but we were the only guesting dining in.
Atmosphere - While we did appreciate the art on the walls, the lighting, and the seating options, the speakers were playing Rock and Metal which is a bit of a turn off, especially at a Japanese restaurant, and it was a few notches too loud, enough that it was not as enjoyable to converse with it playing. Definitely one of the few redeeming qualities of the experience.
Overall, this place is a skip. There are much better locations in the area, especially Modesto, and if you are up for an hour drive to Livermore, Sonora, or Sacramento you can get much higher quality, authentic food for the exact same price.

This is by far the closest to authentic Japanese Ramen I have tasted here in the central valley and the presentation, ingredients and taste are all what you would expect in a Tonkotsu based Ramen. The place also emulates a traditional Japanese Ramen shop except the attendants are not Nihonjin.

I came in today around 3pm after having skipped breakfast. I was beyond hungry, eyes blurry from a day's exhaustion setting in. I asked the cashier to pick anything for me. She recommended the Kuroramen. Sounds good to me. After a few minutes wait, a hearty bowl was placed before me, and the day's stress melted away. Each ingredient's individual flavor stood out, while harmonizing with the others'.

Ufff, I really didn't want to believe the low reviews and it's definitely much better than a one star, but they are right that the meat portion is tiny, the 2 slices are super thin. That's not the case at the way superior ramen place in Modesto. The eggs were great though, my gfs koyatsu soup was pretty good too, my miso soup though? Didn't really taste like miso and a tiny bit too salty. I'll give it one more try though

Ramen here is top tier ? they are accommodating to picky eaters and can put the toppings to the side. If you are in the area make sure to stop by!

I ordered on DoorDash so I will not rate the service and atmosphere, however this was the best food I’ve had in a while! I ordered the shiro tonkatsu ramen and a side of the spam musubi. I got a lot of extra swirly naruto, and everything was flavorful, salty and delicious. The musubi was soft and the rice was well cooked, seasoned perfectly.
Parking: It’s located in the Rite Aid’s parking lot!
We went here for lunch and they were out of tonkatsu base for soup along with garnish soup was super salty

Fix your damn start time
Is it just incompetence or laziness from the staff and management that you can’t have the correct information like the most SIMPLE thing everyone will look up “when do you open”

absolutely terrible service to not only me but the customer behind me. its 5/31/24 and at 4:40 pm i went to get a daraman chicken and rice bowl. me and my bf both went in twice because our order was wrong and said it had extra kimchi (i didnt ask for that) and they denied it was wrong. and then at the end they say “its because we ran out of egg, thats why we put extra kimchi”. so we argued back and forth for you to tell me that it was actually because youre out of product? absolutely terrible service by 2 little girls (asian and a white girl, didnt get names) and when i asked if they put no chili like i asked, they said yes. now its 5:23pm and my 60 year old grandma tried her bowl and it was super spicy. never coming back, let me know if you hire better cashiers that can get orders right and maybe i will come back. guy behind me had the same problem. see the repitition here?

I haven't had Ramen over a year, and coming g back and trying this place, for me it was new in the area, but the food!!! Yum yum yum!!! I recommend this place 100%
Kid-friendliness: Only part I kinda didn't like was the tall chair, the person in the register didn't know the where abouts of it. It was easy to find, but we, ourselves, walk around to find it. Other than that place is amazing.

First time here. Place looked trendy/ modern.
We got miso and shoyu bowls. Soups were good and creamy. Noodles were thick and tough. There was some spinach that seemed to come straight from frozen and thrown into the bowl. It made the taste watery and bland.
Chicken gyoza was crispy on the outside and mushy in the inside.
I got spam musubi because there is no way to mess up just in case, which I was still correct.
For the 30 minutes we were there, nobody came to clean the other tables where other customers had left.
Won’t be going back. Good to try one time, but the price is definitely not worth the quality.
Seems to be same owner as wing shop next door. We even used their plastic cups for drinks. Gives the impression that owner is out for quick money with frozen foods warmed up and sold.
