★★★★☆ 4.0 Amber Brown · Mar 2026

The restaurant inside is very chill. The owner is very professional and so sweet. The appetizers were FANTASTIC! As for the main course, I had to get the ramen. Personally I would have fully liked the ramen if the broth was more creamy and more flavorful. Overall my experience was 10 out of 10! Thank you for the service. 💕

★★★★★ 5.0 Tricia Matthews · Jan 2026

We tried this new spot that just opened and were very impressed. The restaurant is spotless clean, beautifully decorated, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. The noodles were absolutely delicious, you can really tell they’re homemade. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully done. Highly recommend checking it out.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jue Wang · Jan 2026

Hands down the best ramen spot in town! The broth and noodles are made from scratch, and the flavors are incredibly rich and satisfying. The ambiance is warm and inviting. Even my daughter loved it, and she usually isn’t a ramen fan. We also highly recommend the chicken karaage and spring rolls. We’ll absolutely be returning!

“Had dinner with my family last Saturday and really enjoyed trying different types of noodle soup. The broth tasted fresh and authentic—not made from powder and with no MSG, which I really appreciated. My personal favorite was the black garlic ramen. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was good. The kids were especially happy to see the beautiful fish in the tank. I’ll definitely be back next time to try the spicy chicken ramen 😃

★★★★★ 5.0 Ashley C · Jan 2026

Having visited Japan numerous times and having tried many types of Japanese ramen, I can confirm that this is the familiar taste I’ve come to know. The broth is amazing, rich and flavorful, the noodles are firm, the soft-boiled eggs are delicious, and they completely satisfied my taste buds. 👍
