really good, flavorful vegetarian ramen. i thought it was weird to charge for tofu on the vegetarian ramen, when non vegetarian ramens do not have to pay for their meat topping. but other than that it was so good!

This spot keeps things simple but delivers where it counts. The space itself is straightforward, minimalist with a few eye-catching art pieces that serve as great conversation starters. The food is solid, with a nice variety of options, and the service is great, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing. One standout feature is the impressive selection of house-made sake, which adds a unique touch to the experience. While the overall ambiance leans on the plain side, the quality of the service and drinks make it a worthwhile visit.

All I can say is WOW! Went with a group of 3 and we all got different dishes for our main entree. Started out with a pitcher of Sapporo. For apps we got the kakuni and karaage. The pork kakuni was so soft it pulled apart easily. Karaage was cooked to perfection, so crispy and the chicken was juicy. For our entrees we got the spicy tan tan ramen, shoyu ramen, and sauce katsu bowl. The tan tan broth was so rich and creamy! Absolutely delicious. Shoyu ramen had a great flavor profile, but we preferred the tan tan broth. The ramen noodles had a great bite to them. Sauce katsu bowl was thoroughly enjoyed by my friend, said the meat was cooked perfectly, only comment was that there was a little too much rice. Service was friendly and quick. Venue looks different than what you see online, a litt

This place has gone very downhill ever since the chef has changed. I ordered a poke bowl and they have cut down their serving size in half and gave me way overcooked eggs with fish that was definitely not fresh. I dont recommend anyone order the poke bowls as the quality is abysmal for $30! I called to let them know about the issue and was told not to order it anymore if i dont like it. I was told the chef changed and so quality has diminished consequently. Its a shame. Ive attached the picture of what the poke bowl is like now compared to how it used to be.

i have known this place for years. they recently have changed the store interior style and it turned into a modern minimalism place. it could use some more decorations though to make it more vibrant and stylish. food wise! i liked the ramen here because of the hokkaido style broth and ramen noodles. after the new crews taking over the management, ramen even tastes better to me! i usually come here after work 10pm and just get a bowl of miso spicy ramen and enjoy it myself alone so much. i hope they continue making a great bowl of ramen like this. its hard to find a good ramen spot in brooklyn/ny… definitely gonna come back for trying others on the new menu!
