Good menu, okay food.

Service and atmosphere:
The restaurant is nicely decorated inside. They offer good number seating options.
Service was friendly and timely. Could have been more attentive.

Food and drinks:
I liked that the menu had few options which usually suggest that the kitchen concentrates on what they know best. The many had typical dishes expected at ramen spot.
The flavours lucked a bit comparing to other ramen restaurants we visited. My ramen salad (no broth option) was nicely presented. The noodle was on a firm side. Other ramen soups needed more flavours.
You can order alcoholic beverages here.

Pricing:
$$ definitely affordable and not overpriced for what was served.

We've been coming here for years and sometimes order takeaway. We enjoy the tonkatsu -- the broth is almost creamy. So delicious! Service is usually quick. You have to pay extra for an egg in your ramen. They also offer a spicy option. My husband likes the chicken karage and I usually get hot green tea.

Excellent atmosphere and food was delicious! Tempura roll was a hit with the wife who isn’t a sushi person but ate half of it. Very awesome pick for a quick ramen fix while in the area.

Very reliable spot for consistent, budget ramen. It doesn't break the bank and the food taste about the same each time. Vibe is nice and cute, but let's be real. We know when you eating here :)) it's comfort food and it's always been there, love this spot

Pretty average ramen, for a little lower than the average price in the area.
Egg was not as flavorful and the broth was okay at most.

EDIT:
Went tonight (11/20/2025) at 6PM. I ordered my usual vegan ramen and what was given to me was ramen with a milky broth vs the usual shoyu broth. When I questioned it, both the waitress and the guy who made claim it's a new broth that's now creamy vs dark shoyu. Which is weird because I just ate there last week for lunch and ordered the same vegan ramen with the shoyu broth. The ramen is now bland and the service is still bad, unfortunately. Time to look for another ramen shop. This place has gone down, which is a shame because I have supported them since they opened.

This is my go to ramen shop in Houston. I've tried all the others, but I keep coming here since they opened. The service can be inconsistent, but I'm here for the noods.

I had the best ramen. If you miss the taste of Japan, it can be a great option. I enjoyed the karage as it was warm and well-cooked.
