Yummy!!!! I had the regular ramen with pork belly. Delish!!!! Two friends had Abura ramen and loved it. Hubs had belly bowl chicken teriyaki with extra chili oil. We will definitely return! Servers were warm and friendly. The venue is small but adorable. It was the perfect post-soccer watching meal.

Super friendly service, amazing ramen. Rich flavor and a broth that isn't too salty. Just fresh and hot, toothy noodles, jammy egg, bamboo shoots, greens--everything you want from good ramen. Went for the short rib Tonkotsu ramen and the spring salad w/ sesame dressing (a generous size for $6!)

Love this place. Love that its off the beaten path and the food is really good. I have yet to found a place in Cedar Rapids that serves Tonkatsu style ramen, so when I want ramen, I go here. its worth the 40 min drive.

Best spot in IC. They've perfect the bowl of ramen and offer a range of equally delectable proteins (pork belly is my fav). Service is always fast and simple, the only online ordering that isn't a pain in the neck. Cute little place with nice decor in an adorable part of town! Get in before the crowd as there's only so much seating!!

As an out of townern I was a little confused getting here but it was well worth it. The food and service were great. It looks like on warmer days you can dine outside.
Great little spot in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. The ramen was flavorful, the service was good and this place is a winner!

Came here for Valentine’s Day dinner and had the best meal we’ve had in a long time. The food was amazing so flavorful and the atmosphere was so cozy and intimate. The neighbors even gave us blankets because we chose to sit outside ? We felt so welcome. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.
This restaurant is absolutely the go-to spot in Eastern Iowa for ramen. The staff is all very friendly and makes you feel well taken care of. The tonkotsu ramen broth is rich and flavorful with delicious ingredients. The restaurant is on the smaller side but is a nice atmosphere.

I recommend. I had Tonkatsu ramen with pork belly added, served hot, noodles with some bite, egg with custardy yolk, all elements what I had hoped for. Looking forward to trying other things from the menu on my next visit. They offer a nice variety of sakes in different styles, from the most basic up to highly crafted premiums, but not everything listed was available. The server had to do some legwork to find out what they had to serve, but there should have been an 86 list. They didn't have my 1st choice, though I was very pleased with my 2nd. My server was very pleasant and helpful. I dined after peak business, so I got plenty of attention. If you're in search of good, authentic done the right way, support this restaurant.

A very small restaurant with big style and flavor. Make sure you get there early or call ahead because seating is extremely limited. This cute spot is nestled in a neighborhood, but has big city flavor. My best recommendation is to take a look at their website and see what the chef recommends. There are so many options that it really is best to see what they enjoy most. We used to love the Korean short ribs, but it seems like they've changed up their recipe and they tasted more like a normal bbq or teriyaki recently, so we probably won't continue ordering those. Overall, this spot is generally a pleaser.
