I am a regular and am finally writing a review - this place has long deserved it. Very generous portions for the price, friendly staff and delicious food! I keep forgetting to take photos of the food due to me always digging in so fast due to how good it is 🩵 Beautiful interior, lots of charm and the place is always tidy. Chopstick helpers are available for those learning them and you can always ask for a fork if you need it. I highly recommend the salmon onigiri - don't be scared of the nori (seaweed)!! It's very good and I suggest giving it a shot if you like the taste of fish. The texture can be a turn-off to some but try it before you decide for sure. The ajitama (medium boiled eggs marinated in dashi) is also always very flavorful, so I also recommend giving those a shot. They also ha

My wife and I got here just before opening for the lunch hours on Saturday. We were sat immediately, and drinks came right away. My wife enjoyed the miso ramen bowl and made it her own adding her favorite ingredients and they made it exactly as requested. I ordered the Gyudon beef and it was the best I’ve ever had. The flavor of the tasty beef soaks into the rice below, it’s truly delicious. We will absolutely be back. I will note it also can get busy quick, by 12:10 every seat in here was full so come prepared!

I visited Tokyo over 8 years ago. I enjoyed the authentic Ramen and the variety of menu options. This place stays busy so you need to get there early to ensure you have a table. Our waitress was so sweet. I noticed that all of the waitresses were very attentive! I look forward look forward to going back.

Amazing! But: The food is truly amazing. The quality is excellent, and whoever creates the recipes clearly knows what they're doing. Congratulations! On the other hand, the service is a shame. The waiters simply aren't attentive enough to offer another drink or ask how the food was; they seem clueless and lost. This place has potential.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Casey Newsom · Jan 2026

Service was good, got take out. Grilled vegetables were hot tasted good enough for the money. Got alla cart chicken which was cold and dry, most importantly, the portion was insulting. $8 for a gas station snack. Maybe its better if you sit down.
