This place wasn't my first choice, but I'm some glad my other options didn't pan out. I tried calling other establishments in the area, and I was either met with silence or a rude person answering the phone. This place? The customer service was sweet right off the bat. My hotel is only a short walking distance, so my spouse and I ventured over for a late supper/date night.When we entered the establishment, our server greeted us warmly and brought us over to our table immediately. I managed to get my coat off and be seated before water was brought out along with menus. As I've said previously, the service was impeccable and sweet. We chose our appetizers, main course, and drinks. We did not wait long before food was brought out. We ordered ebi fry and karaage for our apps. My main course was the tantanmen ramen, and my spouse chose the tonkotsu. We each ordered a beer to go with our dishes.I absolutely loved and devoured my dish. The appetizers were perfect, and my food was delicious. Our sweet server checked in with us routinely to see how we were doing, and I appreciated that a lot. I must admit, we probably looked a bit silly trying to eat with chopsticks (since it was mostly our first time), but no one batted an eye. It was a struggle for me, but I was determined to learn quickly, and I ate my whole meal just fine. The broth was spicy (but not too spicy for me), the pork was delicious, and I loved the veggies. The tastes blended quite well together. The varying textures and tastes made it comfortable and delightful for my sensitive palate. The atmosphere was cozy for the two of us, and there was plenty of room for solos, duos, or groups to enjoy eating there. I loved the setup of the room and the music they played quietly in the background. The lighting made it a nice, cozy atmosphere for the two of us to enjoy our sweet date.This spot will definitely be a must for us to return to when we come back and visit. From the service to the food, you can't go wrong. If you love ramen, you'll love this place. I'm so happy we went here on a whim tonight.
Love their veggie ramen which comes with "exciting" veggies like asparagus or sweet potato vs generic things like only bean sprouts. Their bibimbap is also a fave of mine.

We really enjoyed Buta Ramen. I lived in Japan for nine years and my wife is Japanese. We always worry if a Japanese restaurant can get the food right. We went in for lunch and were very much satisfied with the food, service and atmosphere. Thank you!

Girl working there everytime I order pick-up from doordash she would act very rude as if I owe her money and there's no chopsticks and act normal when I order on the phone. Idk she would have nasty attitude to delivery app users like this entitled. If she doesn't like working here she can quit ?

Loved the food and the atmosphere here, the service was pretty quick too. If you ever need a nice big bowl of soup to fill you up and warm your gut you can't go wrong here.
We dine in for 2 bowls of ramen, at the end I ordered takoyaki and fried chicken for takeout. After I open the box I can’t believe this chicken cost 12 dollars before tax…

Everything was just ok. The service was ok, the ramen was so so. (I am Japanese) Karaage was really bad, I don't recommend. but takoyaki was ok. So much smaller than regular sizes in Japan. Everything was just ok. Very pricey.

Amazing place to have dinner. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. The price is good enough for what they offer. The options for beer are short, but it's not a problem.
