We tried Angus NY steak Ramen and Salmon Rice Platter.
It was outstanding and so satisfying. Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I would say one of the best ramen I tried so far. It just made my day.
I would love to recommend people to come here.

After reading all the glowing reviews about Momoka, my friend and I decided to check it out for dinner on a Sunday night. Walking in, we were promptly seated in a restaurant that was about 70% full. That’s when we noticed the real star of the evening—one solitary server (I suspect she’s the owner), clearly doing everything.

Menus and markers were handed to us for circling our choices, and it took her a solid 20 minutes just to come back and collect our orders. She glanced over what we’d circled and repeated it out loud.

We ordered two appetizers—shumai and vegetarian gyoza—along with two ramen bowls (my friend went with the steak ramen, and I opted for the spicy miso ramen) and a side of curry rice for each of us. Nearly 30 minutes passed before she brought out only the ramen bowls. We asked about our appetizers, which clearly threw her; she looked genuinely shocked. Off she went, returning with a warm plate of shumai, claiming the gyoza was “on the way.” I asked about our curry rice, and her response? “We only serve the rice after you finished with the ramen.” Well, that was news to me—and false. It was painfully obvious she’d forgotten a majority of our order.

We finally started eating, ravenous at this point. The shumai? Just okay, and lukewarm. The gyoza, however, were a win—crispy and piping hot and packed with sweet vegetables. These were clearly rushed out while we ate.

My miso Ramen was an utter disaster. The noodles sat around too long in the broth, losing any chance of spring in the chew, and clumped together like sad, noodle dreadlocks. The miso broth was anything but spicy and was thin and bland. The egg was decent, but the chashu was tough and lean, not melt-in-your-mouth. Halfway through, I abandoned my bowl in disappointment.

My friend’s verdict on his steak ramen? A lukewarm “it’s okay,” which about summed it up—hardly worth the wait or the hassle.

We were done eating, and the curry rice still hadn’t made its appearance, so we canceled it. The total bill? $55 for a marathon wait and two thoroughly uninspired bowls of ramen.

We went there on a Friday night for dinner. It was not crowded and there were plenty of seating. We ordered the Takoyaki and Karaage Deep Fried Squid Legs as appetizers. Both appetizers were delicious. Although the Takoyaki is smaller and have less octopus compared to the ones you get in Japan, it was still really good. We the Tonkotsu Ramen, Angus Steak Ramen and the Spicy Miso Ramen with the Fried Chicken Curry side dish. All the dishes were amazing. The Angus steak was cooked with a little red in the middle and it was okay. There was a lot of meat but don't think I'll order it again. Both the Tonkotsu and Spicy Miso Ramen had thin slices of pork, veggies and half an egg. I like that we can choose the salt level for the ramen. You can also choose a thin noodle or ramen for the ramen dishes. The curry side dish was really, really good. I like this type of Japanese curry.

Awesome edition to the area. Friendly, attentive staff. Great black garlic ramen. Even the attention to detail with the bowls and cups is fantastic. Must try.

One of the best ramens in town, thank you, guys ??

Had to check this place out due to my love of black garlic ramen. The broth was so flavorful! Egg was also very tasty. Pork buns can be found at most ramen spots, but they have a deep-fried variation here that we really enjoyed. Pricing seemed on point with other ramen shops. Would definitely return if in the area.
