Initially when I walked in with my bestfriend, we were not greeted & we didn’t know if it was a wait to be hosted or seat yourself.
One of the staff, made eye contact with us and came around, we thought she was coming to help us but she didn’t.
We were confused & just ended up seating ourselves.
HOWEVER, after that, we had no issues with the service at all. I tried the black tonkotsu ramen, which was a huge portion for the price (imo) & it was delicious. MY FAVORITE was the pork gyoza; the texture, the flavor, the presentation were superb (imo). My bestfriend had the pork rib tonkotsu ramen & he enjoyed it; he’s feedback was “it tastes like any ramen” but he also loved the gyoza. We also tried the lime edamame which was so yummy. The atmosphere was 10/10; really loved the traditional izakaya feel. It is a small restaurant with limited seating, they don’t do reservations so keep that in mind when going. I definitely plan to go back and try different ramens & feast on the gyoza.

Simply put, this is the best ramen in town.
I have tried from several locations and this is always the one that stands out! The flavor is out of this world and authentic! From the dipping ramen to the tomato one and the curry, it’s all exceptional! I also absolutely love the pork gyoza dumplings and its presentation! We also love the torched Aburi Shimesaba.
My son always asks for it. If you are looking for authentic Japanese ramen and more, run to this restaurant!

This spot is amazing- they have delicious and creative ramen here ( don’t knock the tomato ramen, it’s sooooo good, as well as the curry ramen)! They also are an izakaya so they have a lot of items that also pair well with beer.
I’m obsessed with their curry and the gyoza here are the best you’ll find around town! Super pretty too! This spot reminds me of all the izakayas I’ve been to in Japan, super authentic experience!
