The bao buns here are awesome.
I loved the bang bang shrimp bun and chicken curry ramen! The food was great and the portions are large! Highly recommend.
Came here on a random Sunday for lunch. Place was pretty empty, so the service was easy and quick, and I had my pick of seating. I had the tonkotsu ramen. It was just OK. The pork belly was amazing, but the broth left a lot to be desired. It was also pretty heavy-handed on the mushrooms, which eventually gave me the ick. Perhaps I picked the wrong dish.
Amazing everything but especially the shoyu ramen and bang bang shrimp. 100% recommend
Presentation is good. I had a pork belly bao and a black garlic tonkotsu ramen.
The bao was great (I actually recommend it), and the pork belly (chashu) on the ramen was wonderful. That being said, the rest of the bowl was meh. The broth was dead, completely dull and lacked flavor. Perhaps they are not adding enough Tare (seasoning, normally shoyu or salt), or they are adding the tare way before they serve the bowl and it is oxidizing. Or, the broth isn't fresh/homemade or watered down. Very disappointing overall.
The enoki was not crunchy, so it was also sitting in a tub of liquid and not freshly prepared. The egg was fine, but the onions were chopped in 4+ inch chunks: rather unpleasant and unruly. Overall, I wouldn't return.
This place says that they deliver. However, after placing an order for delivery I was told that I’d have to pick-up my food because there was no delivery service (and it wasn’t due to distance - just no delivery). The food was ready quickly and the service was friendly but the food was just okay.
Exceptional
Really great noodle dishes! Absolutely worth coming here! Definitely try out some of the Chinese soup noodles. They're really unique and authentic.
Noodles and egg cold in middle.
The service was friendly and prompt. The facilities were nice and clean. The food was delicious. It was my first time seeing hand-pulled noodles made and served fresh. Would recommend.

The food was absolutely delicious & I saw other items on the menu that I would like to try. I'll definitely be back.
Place looks clean. Nice songs. Gotta say, the noodle soup does taste close to the ones in Asia. The beef was sliced thin, and portion was quite good. A bowl cost around $15. Noodle is also nice, could be more springy/chewy. Soup broth is okay. The chili oil as a dipping sauce can be improved to have more chili flakes inside the oil, more fried onions/garlic etc.
Ramen I ordered is 14.95. So how did you end up charging over 17? I don't recommend coming here.
Also, not even a guest checkout for online order- it forces you to make an account which is why I ordered in person but it seems they sneak in extra $ to every order and hope nobody notices.
This place serves amazing freshly made, hand-pulled noodles with incredibly flavorful broths and soup bases. The portions are huge, making it a great value for the price!
I got the spicy mala ramen, and it was absolutely delicious—the egg was perfectly gooey, the meats were tender, and the broth had just the right balance of spice and richness. My friend ordered the chicken curry ramen, which came with a generous portion of crispy chicken katsu. The soup had a wonderful balance of lemongrass and creamy flavors.
We also tried the potstickers, which were tasty as well. Overall, an excellent spot for flavorful, hearty noodle dishes! Highly recommend.
Mid service and atmosphere. Noodle is good, but only noodle. I do not recommend anything else
