This is a really great cheap-ish spot for a meal. We got two bowls of ramen, four spicy chicken wings, and two orders of mochi for less than $40. Food came out quickly and was delicious. The round chashu was slightly superior to the chashu pork shoulder. Highly recommend ending the meal with a little serving of mochi. It was the perfect treat after the warmth and strong flavors of dinner. We went around 8PM. It was busy but not packed. YOU SHOULD GO HERE!

Love this place. They never cheat you on portion nor taste. Very kind and respectful staff.

Pictured is the fish dish, which is pretty much a gallon of very tasty food.

The food was really good. It tasted like someone’s mom made it! Warm and comforting. I got the black oil pork broth and my cousin got the chicken. The round chatsu had way too much fat for my taste but the pork shoulder was perfect. I don’t usually ever get chicken but the broth was so nice and rich that I’ll definitely be getting that next time. The only other thing I would comment on is that there should be another staff member either waiting on tables or cleaning them...
