TL:DR = Absolutely awful. Nice waitress but owner IS EXTREMELY RUDE. Was denied service after drinks and appetizers were already ordered. If you have a group of 6+ or want to be treated decently, go somewhere else. Wish there was signage up that he doesn't serve larger parties, since we were forced to pay for our drinks and appetizer then leave due to our group size. Awful service from the owner (waitress was great, not her fault). Even though you may not be a party of 6+, IF HE MESSES YOUR ORDER UP, DON'T EXPECT A REFUND. Read his ACTUAL replies to other reviews and you'll understand quickly why the customer service is awful.Main review:Walked in and sat down as a group of 6 (no signage posted around the restaurant or anything spoken from the waitress about the new group size limit when we walked in). Was welcomed by the waitress, who gave us time to look over the menu and decide what we may want. We ordered green teas and edamame while we look at the menu options. Some time goes by and the waitress takes our order and places it. Less than 5 minutes later, the owner/chef stormed out of the kitchen, marched over to our table, slammed our order down infront of us, exclaimed "I'm not serving 6!", and stomped away without any other explanation. We were puzzled since what's the difference between an order of 6 and 2 seperate orders of 3? We were completely fine with the wait if we had to do 2 orders. After the sudden rudeness, we were forced to pay for the drinks and appetizer then leave. I've gone to similar ramen restaurants with groups of friends and have never seen such rudeness. Wish the establishment had signage up so we wouldn't have this experience in the first place. We went in expecting great things and was quickly let down. Glad the owner is losing customers for his rudeness and idiotic "5 person per group limit". Absolutely shameful to be rude to the customers who pay your living. PLEASE AVOID this place. Just get instant ramen and make a night out of experimenting with recipes online, it'll be more to your liking and you don't have to deal with THE OWNER.Post script: We chose this restaurant because we've heard good things about it from the surrounding area. It was a family celebration event for us so, we wanted to enjoy some nice ramen.Post-Post Script: If you order to-go and you're vegetarian, be careful of animal broth in your ramen. Some reviews state he has gotten their order wrong and refuses to address his mistakes. Don't expect good customer service. IF HE MESSES UP YOUR ORDER, DON'T EXPECT A REFUND.Note to owner: Please put up signage or inform your waitress of your new "5 person per group limit". RUDENESS NEVER KEEPS/BRINGS IN CUSTOMERS.Parking: There is a parking garage across the street.

Well, can’t comment on the food. Never quite got that far.We came in as a group of 6 for my fiancé’s birthday, they seated us, served us drinks and starters then took our mains. I have some dietary restrictions so asked the waitress what was in the sauce but she just asked me to pick another meal instead of check with the chef.Before we even around to finishing our drinks, the owner came over and slammed the bill on the table claiming he won’t serve more than 5 people. He then walked off and left the poor waitress to clean up his mess as we sat there completely stunned.There was no signage, no warning when we entered and the waitress didn’t seem to know a thing about it.I wouldn’t recommend, extremely rude and unprofessional.

DON'T GO HERE EVER!Absolutely rude owner. He threw our order slip on our table because we had 6 people and said, " I don't serve six people." The waitress couldn't answer some basic questions about their menu.

Sat down ordered food. Very rude owner came out, and yelled at us that he only serve 5. We were a parry of six. We had already ordered drinks and appetizers. I will never go again. The ramen soup nâzí.

Went in to dine with a family of 6, and the owner said to us he isn't serving a group of 6 people. There isn't a sign or anything stating that. It was extremely rude of him to say that to us after we had already sat down and ordered some things.

I would've loved to have tried the food but well. We went in for my brother's birthday as a party of 6 and we got drinks and appetizers then we put our order in and the owner came back a few minutes later saying they won't serve 6 people so we paid for what we got then left. I didn't see a sign anywhere for a limit. Really unprofessional and frankly rude.

Honestly used to be the best place to get ramen locally. Really great.But now they have a rule where you can't have more than 5 people at a table. We've been there many times as groups of 6 or more but now they won't allow it. They'd rather sit empty with no customers than have 6 people at a table.

A perfect ramen shop. The atmosphere, the staff, and the food are all just right. One of the most affordable ramen places I've been to as well. I have tried at least 7 different dishes here and all of them have been great. The shiitake mushrooms are a MUST.

I honestly didn't realize there was a ramen shop in Boynton Beach. I am so happy I went. When I went in it felt like I went into Japan. The first day I ordered spicy Tonkutso Ramen and pork gyoza. It was super yummy. The next day I ordered their fried rice, onigiri, and a Tonkutso ramen. I love that you can add additional toppings so I ordered a tamago which is a soft boiled egg and bean sprouts. I was in heaven. I am definitely going back.

Wonderful piano jazz was playing throughout our meal and we had an extraordinary seaweed salad and vegetable gyoza for lunch. I have to say that it's hard to fill up here even though I ordered an extra order of rice.

Always love the place every time I come. I do enjoy they have the Oxtail ramen as one of the non pork options and because their Oxtail is always good along with some cold sake. The elder lady that you always see at the place is adorable and always surprised she remembers me when I only come a few times a year to treat myself. I always recommend this place to others when they are looking for a good traditional type ramen shop.
