Great for a solo dinner or party of 2, staff is super friendly, and food is delicious

I’m so glad I found this ramen spot! Small and cozy, the staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the ramen was outstanding. 10/10.

Disappointed.
I’d been here several times in the past and although 2 orders of ramen cost us $50, I convinced my partner visiting from out of town that it would be delicious. We ordered to go and maybe that was the issue? We basically received noodles and broth, minimal toppings. I ordered fried tofu and received one small piece. The meal was disrespectful in general and our order was wrong.
In this economy, if someone is spending over $20 for a single bowl of ramen, put some type of care into it.
I won’t be returning.
Disappointing.

We ordered takeout last night (11/8/25) and it was ready 30 min after they said it would be. Our order was placed on their website and it said it would be ready at 6:10pm. My partner arrived at 6, checked in with the server, and waited until 6:40pm to finally get our food. We just got two ramens and two sides so there’s no way it took an hour to make that.
We totally understand that you might get busy in a rush or your ordering platform might not give the most accurate estimate, but not offering any explanation or apology felt unprofessional. Many other spots would offer a drink or comp something from the order. Waiting 40 min (30 beyond the time you said the order would be ready) is not cool. Nor is the lack of communication.
The food is decent but not worth the experience, at least for takeout. And somehow it wasn’t even that hot when we live just five minutes away.

Been coming here for a while, I really enjoy this place. But the new vegan Dan Dan noodles is maybe the best Ramen I’ve ever had.

Some of the best ramen I’ve had outside of Japan. The ramen is light and the broth flavourful. The food menus accommodates for a lot with both cold and hot options. Extensive drink menus too. It is a small space but so worth the wait

Tasty ramen and kind staff!
I know this place has great reviews but it just was very low quality meat and vegetables and taste for $20 bowl of ramen. Maybe their dishes other than ramen are better. Don’t know if I’d eat there again
