We ordered two veggie ramen and an order of sweet potato fries. The fries were good but they gave such little ketchup. The ramen broth was very bland, not good. They also only put TWO small pieces of tofu in each! So stingy with the cheap protein! When we asked for soy sauce, we got literally one small serving amount. Overall a poor choice for veggie ramen. There are better tasting options elsewhere. They need a better veggie broth.

Would not recommend this place if you have any dietary restrictions. Not only does this place only use an online menu to order at your table, nothing is clearly labeled online. I ordered a vegetarian ramen, expecting a hearty bowl of ramen with a good amount of vegetables and tofu. Instead, I got a very salty broth with two pieces of tofu, and a sad piece of bok choy. I also ordered the sweet potato fries, which were fine, but I got a very small amount of ketchup with them. In general, it seems like they skimp on the sides; when I asked for soy sauce I got maybe a tablespoon. As someone who seeks out spice, it was not clear to me if the additional spice levels were vegetarian-friendly, so I did not end up getting those, which led to my ramen being even more disappointing.

Very fast and efficient
Friendly staff and great service
Tried Takumi Ramen today and ordered their Takumi Tonkotsu Ramen — the broth was super rich and flavorful, and the noodles had a great texture. Really comforting and satisfying.
They also have a buy 5 get 1 free beer deal right now, which is a pretty good deal. And the beer tower/container they use is so cool and eye-catching. Definitely a fun spot to hang out with friends. Would come back again!

This place is seriously a neighborhood gem. We ordered the shrimp croquette and takoyaki appetizers and they were SUPER tasty! I also really enjoyed my tonkotsu ramen. Their milk teas are excellent as well. So happy to have this spot in our neighborhood.

Over rated. Ramen lacked lacked flavor
Love being able to order as I go and the price and portions of the food. We've been here twice and everything we've tried was so so good. Ramen has really good flavor and the spicy option is enough spice to get you but not overly so! Will definitely be coming back again soon!

Dimly lit, quiet ramen spot at the very top of the best of the best ramen bowls and broth in the city. Flavorful as all hell and the spicy here actually means spicy lol. The service was great, the staff was very attentive and rounded frequently.
Also: three bowls, an order of gyoza dumplings, a boba, and a ramune all came out to be almost $25 cheaper than other establishments with similar (high) quality ramen. Can't wait to stop by again

Great service. We tried a few appetizers and they were okay.
Ramen: I ordered the spicy miso ramen—it was a little salty and not spicy at all.
Atmosphere: The vibe is great; I love the style and décor.
Overall: Not a wow for me, to be honest.
Would I come back? No.

Delicious food and nice quiet atmosphere. We visited at lunch time on a Wednesday and there were only 3 other tables with guests.
