We were very excited to try this place and we we not disappointed. We started with the pork belly oko buns and they were wonderful. I had the bison bone ramen and my husband had the beef bone. Exceptional meal. We were on vacation when we stopped and can't wait to come back!!

Worth the long wait! Had the Veggie Shoyu ramen; good texture and umami flavor. Amazing atmosphere. Check it out if you’re in Rapid City, definitely worth it!

Lived in Rapid for a few months for work and everyone recommended this place. I loved their bison ramen and found it unique, although after a while the broth became bitter with all the arugula.
I was able to visit the associated Bokujo Bodega next door while here. There is a lot of potential for this to be a nice, small spot with Japanese imports. However, I found that most of the products were US-based rather than directly from Japan, I am not sure how this effects the tax rate. I bought a bunch of goodies to snack on at home!

First time visiting after hearing about this online. Really loved the atmosphere and decor. Service was okay, but not really helpful for a person trying restaurant quality Ramen for the first time. The menu could have been better at describing the the dishes and what to expect. Perhaps some photos. Had the Buffalo Ramen entree and it was delicious, the Ramen definitely had a great texture and was plentiful. The Buffalo meat was sliced thin and held together in the bowl. My girlfriend tried the Pork Belly Ramen entree and she liked it, but it was very heavy on garlic flavor for my taste. The hard boiled egg was slightly cool on the inside on both of our dishes but didn't detract overall. Our main waitress was very utilitarian in service and did not seen very friendly or eager to educate new diners. Another waitress was more helpful when our primary waitress wasn't around. We also had the Black Hills Mushroom appetizer and it was okay, but not possessing any wow I'd definitely order that again factor. Could have used a bit of butter to enhance the flavor. Really enjoyed the Japanese videos of Ultraman that played during the visit and the liberal presence of Godzilla throughout the the restaurant 🐲

I Ordered the bison bone ramen. It was incredibly disappointing. There was no bone and the meat was burned (Fun fact: burned meat causes cancer). The beef should have been slightly undercooked and then finish cooking in the hot soup. The soup was tasteless and extremly oily as well. Overall the food didn't taste bad, it's just flavorless. If you've had real ramen you will not like this place. It's not real ramen. (Disclaimer: I've had ramen around the world so my standards are higher than most.)

We were traveling and got into town about 20 minutes before they closed. They welcomed us, and the staff were very friendly & inviting! The ramen and the pork bun were THE BEST!! Highly recommend if you want the best ramen! Yum😋
