Just ate here with my husband and I must say it’s some of the best ramen I’ve had since LA!! We enjoyed the Curry Ramen with chicken and the Tanpopo Spicy Ramen.

Parking: Easy parking for a Saturday afternoon.

Chill atmosphere, small restaurant almost never packed but always good, fine in or take out. Authentic Japanese style ramen simplicity yet packed with flavor. Visited this place before and after a visit to Japan. 💯 % on point !!!

Dietary restrictions: You can mix and match if you have some restrictions.

Parking: Usually find free street parking on either street adjacent to building.

Pretty underwhelming. Got the Curry Ramen priced at $17. Portion of broth was good, not so many toppings for the price though. $2-$3 for each additional topping seemed excessive so I didn't order any. Ambience was not inviting and did not feel particularly clean. Service was also really underwhelming. Overall tastes good, but that's about it. Will not be returning.
