The vegan miso ramen is the best veg ramen I’ve had in the six years since I stopped eating meat! It has a richness, spice, and robust flavor that not many vegetarian ramens achieve.
May 2025
this is place has the best udon ive ever had, i get the beef udon with a marinated egg, my friends dont like it here though. but this review is not about their food. its about their bathroom. that place is pure magic. you enter and you are transported to a whole other dimension. the lighting, low lit, ambient and cozy. the decor feels like you are at home. and the main attraction the toilet, oh god the toilet. it has heated seats. when you sit on that toilet it feels like a hug....
April 2025
I got take-out. I was initially bothered because the ramen seemed to be in one bowl. Upon opening, the components are separate from the broth. This is the most innovative packaging I've seen for ramen! The bowl seems to be spill proof or something because there is a seal on it.
Great portion size. The extra portion of chashu I ordered was a good size for the upcharge.
Whoever cooked this knew what they were doing. Chashu was not fatty....
