Cozy restaurant with a focused menu. I got the Tokyo Shio ramen and was blown away by how the broth had such a deep flavor while keeping a crisp, clear texture. Just an excellent bowl of ramen, all around.
If I could complain about one thing, it would be that I think I could manage to eat 2 bowls - the portion sizes are on the smaller side.
I arrived around 7:30 pm on a weekday and was seated about 30 minutes later. The waitlist was well managed, so the wait felt smooth.
I ordered the New Tokyo Style Shoyu, which had a deeply satisfying flavor and tasty thin flour noodles. I also enjoyed having both chashu pork and chicken breast. The soup temperature was perfect. The truffle is a signature touch, but I think the ramen is great even without it—since you can control when to mix in the truffle paste, I’d suggest starting without it.
I also had the crab cream croquette. It was good, though not especially memorable.

The noodles are not tasty at all. The broth is a bit disgusting. With the gloomy kitchen, who knows how many rats are living there.

Very nice Ramen that is not too greasy but flavorful. It is one of the kind Ramen stand if that is your vibe. 20mins eating time limit is kind of fun.

Fantastic ramen and sides. Service was very quick and they were attentive. Only waited 20 mins to get a table at 8pm on a Thursday night.

25 min estimated wait time turned into a hour in the cold with my husband. No restroom .. it’s all a recipe for disaster… this place does have great ramen but beware coming in groups larger than 1. They prioritized a group of 4 after 5 seats cleared up and only 1 seat was free. Had to wait for another party of 2. They were doing DoorDash orders so the kitchen was backed up. I had to plead for atleast a free drink to make up for the experience.. asked for the plum wine and she gave me a terrible sparkling peach drink. I won’t be frequenting this location anymore. I’ll try Chelsea. The clam and porcini special ramen was not all that. Definitely doesn’t shine anywhere close to their menu ramens.

This place serves truffle oil shio ramen with a light chintan-style broth. It was really tasty
The only downside was that it took quite a while for the ramen to come out. Also, there are only about six seats, so it feels pretty cramped.Still, maybe that’s part of its charm small, cozy, and very Japanese in style

I was enormously frustrated each person must buy at least $20 of food, alcohol excluded. Take it out on the customer that you have a small space and Jab your chopstick into my eye holes to make me cry cash because my husbands friend wanted to come here & I only wanted drinks. However—— Tokyo ramen, yuzu salt edamame, and potato salad are all 10/10++
I would recommend trying this place. The flavors are light and satisfying, leaving no heaviness afterward. Ramen is often oily and salty, but their chicken broth ramen feels gentle and balanced. It’s mild yet full of depth, a genuinely pleasant experience. Even if you have to wait around 30 minutes during peak hours, it’s worth it. Note that there’s no public restroom, and the shop is quite small with a 20 minute dining limit after your order arrives. They won’t rush you out, but it’s not really a place for lingering.
