My favorite food is ramen! Korean but I can’t find that in Ocean County! Finally talked hubby into trying ramen & I found this place for date night! This place nailed my expectations & beyond! The food so amazing! So fresh, delicious & worth every penny! BYOB & prices are budget friendly & portions that will fill your belly! The owner, wife & the new chef killed it! I can’t wait to go back! Happy to find my 1st go to ramen spot in Ocean County! Definitely has one of a kind VIBE! Makes you feel like you walked in off the street in NYC but cleaner ;) 11.7.25-owner mentioned they will be closed for 3 weeks due to renovations & upgrades! Even better things to look forward to! Can’t wait!

Cannot recommend this place enough!!! The ramen is absolutely delicious my partner licked the bowl clean… TWICE. The oxtail bao buns were our fav this past time. Definitely get them when they’re on special!!
I always go for their tonkotsu and it’s always extremely flavorful. The eggs were cooked to perfection!
Chef Wayne as his team are nothing but kind and attentive. The owner had come over to us and chatted with us for a long time about how he started and gave us a little backstory:)
Best ramen, 10/10, can’t wait to be back:)

Beautiful place and the ramen was pretty good. I just moved here from Passaic and it was pretty good. But the service wasn't great took forever and the servers were constantly on their phones

In my opinion.....These people are so absurd that they do not even answer the phone in mid day... so unprofessional. It's prime time, 6:20pm EST. Plus they have some photo from the owner with a dish that is NOT EVEN ON THE REAL MENU!!!!!! How stupid. DONE.. And no I would not order from them, which is unfortunate for them since I am a power shopper, owning a corporation, and we order REGULARLY several days a week from REAL restaurants that have a clue. So we stay far away from LOSERS!!! Ask them how many restaurants they own??????????????????... There's a reason they are on ONE heading FAST to ZERO!

Came with my daughter she was impressed with every detail from the beautiful presentation to the amazing flavors. Not one thing on the menu disappoints.

Everything we tried was great. The owner and his wife were working the location and gave us a genuine experience as well as the back story to the Ramen house's beginning. We had the Oxtail Curry Ramen, the Karaage Chicken rice bowl, and the traditional pork Bao Buns. They run specials and use quality ingredients. It's a fusion concept for the ramen and not exactly traditional but the Trinidadian/Island spin was unique and I look forward to coming back to try their other creations!

I’ve been here before and the food was great. I brought company on my second visit and we waited 1 hour and 30 mins for 2 bowls of ramen! I’m not sure why we stayed, we just didn’t want to cause a fuss, now I won’t be back.

Again, the food was good when we got it but I’m just really disappointed because customers who came in after us got their food MUCH faster. A couple who arrived in 1 hour after us got it in 15mins; even their appetizers before our mains!! For the sake of other customers, please prioritize those waiting in the queue for extended periods.

It really bothered me that customers were wandering into the kitchen, I don’t want non-staff around where my food is being prepped.

I finally made it to the restaurant. The owner (Wayne) is so warm, accommodating and very personable. I knew after the many phone conversations he would be. His restaurant will be undergoing changes, so his hours are different each day. I called him prior to confirm he would be open, since the ride is over an hour away from me. He was gracious to open his restaurant and cook for me. He drove from New York (he said, “108 miles one way”), with a smile to accommodate me knowing I had been trying for months to dine at his restaurant. His food was delicious and well worth the wait! I started with Chef Jeannie's Tao Chicken. The chicken with the sweet and spicy chili sauce had the perfect crunch and a slight kick to it. Each bite was delicious with the rice. There was a hint of butter after each bite, which was different and pleasing to my palate. I followed it with the curry oxtail ramen and it didn't disappoint. I am part Japanese and grew up eating ramen, saimin, pho, udon, etc. This soup is one of the best ramen I have had. The combination of Caribbean/Japanese fusion is exquisite. The oxtail was so tender the meat fell off the bone. The soup was tasty; the curry flavor and spices were delicious and the soup had the perfect level of heat.

Thank you Chef Wayne for making my day!!!! Will definitely be dining there again!
