Customer Reviews
First time here and I got to try their new Spicy Hotate Ramen! Honestly my favorite one :)! The broth was super flavorful but not too heavy. And the flavors get deeper as you mix all the ground beef and spice together. Would definitely get it again!
We got a couple of things here and they were all amazing. All their ramen the best version of that ramen we’ve had so far. We got the Wagyu beef, one and another one that also had duck and pork. Sublime. Even the soft boiled egg was incredibly jammy and tasted like it came from a foreign land. Incredibly balanced broth that I can drink all day We got a chicken karrage one other thing that I forget, which was also delicious. I think it was some sort of sushi roll. Only gripe is that the seating is a little bit cramped. There is a waitlist, but they text you when your number is up so you have time to explore the area a little bit. Go on a weekday during non-rush-hour. Loved it and will come back soon to try their other dishes
While the wait can be long, it was well worth it. Enoki chips - must try Pickled yuzu cucumber with ikura - an elevated cucumber salad compared to others (refreshing) Spicy lamb miso cumin - good, a bit on the heavy side, I think if I had to redo as my first bowl (first time) there, I think I would go for something a bit more classic to taste their base. Not that this wasn't good but it was very hearty and not something I was entirely expecting. Matcha panna cotta - not too sweet!
Came in - after multiple recommendations - on a Monday at 6:30pm and got seated immediately. The space is modern and fun with ample seating (mostly shared tables for pairs/individuals). We ordered the spicy garlic chicken karaage, signature smoked toripaitan ramen, and garlic knockout ramen. The broth is by far the most flavorful we've had, and we eat a lot of ramen! The noodles were also exceptional - chewy and bouncy - and the toppings are so good. The karaage was also perfectly crispy with light breading and so much flavor, although next time we might opt for the non-spicy. Service was pretty fast and attentive from the start; took a bit longer for the bill, but we didn't mind sitting and digesting. For two people, the total came out to around 80$ including tip - not the cheapest, but
This place blew my mind. The flavors are so unique. We had the wagyu churasi and karage chicken (order the spicy chicken version) for appetizers. I ate the special ramen for main which had seared scallops and spicy beef. Perfect amount of heat. Will be adding this place to our regulars. A must try spot. Also our waitress Melinda was very thoughtful and had the best recommendations.
