I typically go here with my girlfriend every few weeks or so to have some appetizers and ramen. I recommend their curry, chicken, and vegetable ramens if you avoid pork as these have a chicken or vegetable broth.

Really good food and service, always happy to visit!

I’ve been past this place a number of times and finally stopped in. Did not disappoint. Everything was so tasty🤌Highly suggest. I’d plan ahead if bringing a party as seating is limited, just like any good spot. Must try.

Food was good. Very spicy but not over baring. Nice portions. Dumplings tasted normal how they were suppose to taste. Nice sized dumplings too. We ordered Hot Green Tea that came out warm. Very tite space inside. When we sat down we felt a draft of cold air. Other than the cold air we felt 7/10. Definitely would try again when it’s not cold out.

We were hungry, ordered, and waited ~20 minutes for what we thought was an authentic ramen spot in Albany. The broth was flavorless and watery and made the overall experience unappetizing. The ambiance was okay, and the drinks were quick; however, it was not my place to eat ramen.

I really do hate to write bad reviews and I only write them if it is truly bad. DO NOT ORDER ANY RAMENS OTHER THAN THE SPICY RAMENS!!! you are welcome. Everything is bland so the spicy helps greatly... yes even the shrimp in the seafood Ramen is bland. I added spice and hoisen sauce. Soup base is supposed to get better as the night goes on. And it saves money if they just flavor one bid pot and scoop from it. I tried this place 4 times before writing this. It's terrible.

This place makes the best ramen I’ve ever had! I generally get the tonkotsu ramen, with an order of takoyaki or bao buns as an appetizer.

Word of warning; this place is SMALL! If you go at a busy time, you will wait for a seat! I also recommend going to the bathroom before you go, as the bathrooms are cramped due to the small space. I could wash my hands while still sitting on the toilet. The small-ness does add to the charm of the place, but as a heavy set woman, it is claustrophobic.

Other note of warning: this is not a quick experience! The meals are made with dedication and care which takes time. Believe me, it is worth the wait! So I do recommend ordering an appetizer.

The tastiest ramen in town. No matter how special or how casual the occasion is, you cannot go wrong by taking a seat at this quaint little restaurant. This is a vintage American diner turned high-quality ramen establishment.

Take a seat, enjoy a pint of Sapporo with your ramen, and take in the well preserved vintage nature of the place.
