I had yuzu shio ramen and fried chicken. The soup is a little bit salty for me but flavor is good! Fried chicken is crispy and juicy.

The two gentlemen that served me lunch today were extremely kind and polite, creating an inviting atmosphere among the many film posters that adorned the walls of the restaurant.Sitting at the bar created a warm and inviting atmosphere and her let you peer into their clean and spacious kitchen as they prepare your food fresh.And fellas, let me tell you; the food is PEAK. This is the most delicious ramen I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to almost a dozen ramen places in the Boston area. I almost didn’t want to tell people about this place: it was that good.The takoyaki was good, and for those with dietary restrictions, the vegetarian option was my first choice. I highly recommend it and can’t give the food praise enough.

I wasn't too impressed by this noodle house. It felt inauthentic and tasted more like a Chinese version of Japanese ramen. The options are quite limited for ramen flavors, and there are a few appetizers available. I did enjoy the homemade spicy flavor that my friends ordered. I ordered the non-spicy broth and asked for chili flakes (which all Japanese restaurants usually have) and they didn't know what I was talking about. They thought I wanted to change my broth to the spicy one and said I'd have to pay more. I declined and they very kindly gave me a small dish of the spicy paste anyway. I wouldn't say I'd jump to come back here, but would give it another chance.

The ramen came out quick and was delicious, really enjoyed the noodles that had a perfect texture. The chef Shin came over to chat when he had a free moment and was very kind and welcoming. With the weather getting colder this was the perfect meal, my wife and I can’t wait to go back!

The ramen is amazing, especially the spicy special, its one of the best I have had in Boston. The place is not a full fledge sit-down restaurant, you can eat there but mostly it would be quiet with a few people sitting down to eat.

This place is small and located right behind Malden Center Station. You walk in and order, pay and find a seat. They prep your food then and there and it ends up only really taking 15 minutes. It was 18.50 for the special spicy ramen which is kind of expensive but given the economy, it's probably what every other place charges more or less. The front desk person was nice and super helpful. The spicy sauce is homemade which I found interesting and had a unique taste. The takoyaki was a little too doughy for me, but the outside was extra crispy. The soup was warm and flavorful. Overall, I think it was a solid experience with quick and easy service.
This place is a hidden gem. Although it is small but, the interior is a cool design. Lots of anime references on the walls. The ramen is delicious and I will come back again for more!

Great atmosphere of an authentic Japanese ramen shop. However the menu selection is a bit lacking and the broth taste is not as strong as expected. The noodle is not thin and a bit too soft to my liking.Fair price for Boston area. Table cleanliness could be improved as it was a bit sticky when resting your hand.The best food here is the Chasu don! Great pork quality and sauce!There are parking building across the street. However not a lot of seatings inside.

This is a small noodle house where you order and pay at the register. I got the yuzu shio ramen, and the yuzu flavor was subtle but discernible. The chashu were quite thinly sliced, which I might actually prefer over the thicker cuts, but I wish they gave more chashu for a $15+ bowl of ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly with a slight chew to them. Next time I will try the shoyu ramen instead because the shio was a little too salty for me.

It really tastes like the old fashion, recalled many memory about Japan street in 90s. We waited for 20 minutes to get the table. Non-stop orders came in.Kid-friendliness: Kid’s meal is good.
