"This is not a ramen shop, it is a dream shop." Despite only one menu item - pork ramen (as of 3/24/24, modifications may be accomodated) - I was pleasantly surprised by how good the ramen was. The ramen is has thick chewy noodles with big pieces of pork. The broth is fatty with a few globs of flat floating. Per request, it can be topped with a healthy serving of garlic. The ramen was a tad bit salty, but I managed to finish the broth. The only downside is that it is relatively more expensive than other restaurants ($17 for two pieces of pork, $20 for 5 pieces). The portions are large enough to satisfy your hunger, I promise! At one point, the chef paused plating the food to share his background and inspiration for starting the "Dream shop". I will keep that information confidential for those who wish to visit and hear it from him directly. It inspired me to take the next step in my own life. Enjoy!Things to know:1) Expect to wait in line outside the shop for approx 10-15 mins at best. Seating was accommodated in intervals of 3-5 people when I went. This is indicative of how good the food is, but be prepared during the winter months;2) There is only one menu item (as of my visit on 3/24/24), pork ramen, where you can choose from 2 pieces or 5 pieces of pork (choose the latter) - this takes away from the headache of choosing from a list of items;3) Expect seating to feel a little more intimate - the seats are in rows of 3, with approx 6 chairs per row, facing the chef;4) Expect to be asked if you would like to share a "dream" - this can be something that you wish to accomplish or do within your lifetime, or the year. After your meal, the restaurant will have a moment of silence for you to share your dream with everyone.5) Utensils are self-service - be sure to grab yourself a cup of water, chop sticks, napkins, or whatever you need in the back of the shop after you have placed your order and are seated.

Too salty and greasy. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RAMEN AT ALL compared to thousands of bowls of RAMEN I ate in Japan.And a super stressful environment, which is absolutely hell for someone with social fear.Poor service: You need to get everything, including water and chopsticks on your own.I have no idea why so many people are lining up for it, which wastes me an hour.

Honestly the BEST ramen I've had in my entire life. The broth was so rich and flavorful and deep with simple yet elegant flavors and the pork was absolutely tender with the fat rendered into the broth. They serve an incredible bowl of ramen, a must go for any fan of this Japanese staple. Everyone should try it... and share your dream! 10/10 would recommend!

Taste was great and meat was excellent, but broth was extremely salty. Told the server at the end and he was apologetic but explained that it tends to run salty (note my bowl was not just a little salty but very very salty) and that we needed to ask for less salty next time.They seat folks by groups of 6. There are 3 rows. Everyone in your row orders at the same time and more or less finishes their meal at the same time.Heads up, they do not have any to go containers so you’ll need to finish your meal or leave it there.

Each time I saw this restaurant, many people waited outside. We waited for twenty minutes to enter into this restaurant.The atmosphere of the restaurant is unique. It’s like combination between ramen restaurants and movie theaters.About taste, this store shows the reality of a type of Japanese ramen, except for the amount of bean sprouts is less than Japanese one. I remembered I ate this type of ramen a lot in my university days.And I want to add a point: staff asks your dream after you eat ramen as the name of the store shows.

Fun eating experience where you get a big bowl of ramen with very rich bowl and listen and share your dreams and goals. Then you get a rating on how well you ate. Try your best to empty your bowl and harvest that determination to use towards your goal and maybe it will come true! I recommend getting delicious garlic! I also recommend going hungry and taking a long walk after lol.Try to get there near opening time on a weekend for possibly the shortest line. They used to only take cash but they take card now too.
This is an excellent bowl of ramen. If I were to grade classes of ramen in this world, I would have 3 (maybe 4) categories. A, B, and C. This would fall in the A category.Another reviewer said it was the best ever, hands down. Not sure I go that far but it is good. The meat was extremely good, but not the best I've ever had. The broth was flat-out excellent, and vies for best broth I've had. Was it the best? Hard to say, but it's worth a mention.The egg gets a fail because there is no egg. Noodles were very good, though I eat the noodles last as the other 3 elements are primary. When I am full I leave noodles, as I did in this case.Atmosphere is interesting. Many people will not like this small classroom vibe, but I thought it was great. The dreamers sharing their dreams is fine, but at this age I hear each of them and they roughly summarize as, "A thing happened and I'm trying to work through it." Good luck to the youth!Not a fan of the grading of the bowl, mostly because I think we're already too fat in this country. We don't need to encourage people to overeat. I read the wikipedia article on the place, so I get it. I just don't agree with it.Net-net? You should 100% go here and try it out.

I would give this place 5 stars if they had a vegetarian option. Other than that, this place is amazing. Coming here is a whole experience. Ramen was delicious, and the atmosphere inside makes you feel blended with the other guests and staff members. Come early or get ready to make a long line that goes all the way to dunkin.

Delicious food. Ramen was very good, garlic was yummy. Broth was fatty but sooo good, also some of the best pork I’ve ever eaten. The 5 piece was well worth the price. Great environment and I like the no phone policy be present!
