Since moving to the city, we were looking for a ramen spots that aren’t too far away and has authentic food. We came here on a Friday, it was busy, but service was great!

My husband got the signature ramen and I got miso ramen with pork belly. Honestly, im still dreaming about that pork belly. It was tender, not too fatty, and overall delicious!

We will be back for sure and i want to try more dishes!

So worth the visit! Got ramen with them special style pork and it didn't disappoint. Broth was good.

Could have used more veggies/interesting additions on top. Also the soft boiled egg was both overdone and nearly unmarinated

I really regret not coming here on my first day of my trip to Philadelphia, I really wished to have had all my meals here! The restaurant is clean and cosy, very charming, with very good service. The ramen I ordered was superb, the broth was deliciously cooked and the thin noddle was a great combination.It had the perfect degree of spiciness for me
