Reviews

We were initially thrilled about the variety of ramen options, but our excitement turned into disappointment when we realized that all ramen choices featured pork broth.
Unfortunately, there were no pure vegetarian, vegan, or chicken alternatives.
As a result, we opted for bento box selections, specifically the Chicken Karaage Curry and BBQ Chicken.
Arriving around 9 pm on a weekday, we found that noodles were already unavailable, so we had to settle for rice only.
Despite this, we enjoyed the well-presented and flavorful BBQ Chicken more than the Karaage Chicken, although the curry portion wasn't sufficient for all four chicken pieces.
Overall, it was a satisfying meal, but we wished for more diverse options, especially in the ramen selection.

Delicious ramen and not expensive, a good place to go if you don't know what to eat.

Small place with limited seating.
Restroom you need to request the key and go outside to the back.
The pictures look good but the soup had no flavor.
Was hoping for better.
