I cannot emphasize how extremely good the Ramen was and how kind the staff was. We were there towards the end of the day and no one made us feel rushed or that we inconvenienced them. Perfect amount of food and was so delicious.

Now this place is a 'sleeper' ramen spot. Its accross the street from the fairfield inn n suites in a strip mall . Street parking, so good luck When we came in it was not busy. Seems to be a lil family owned business. Small dining area for about 30 or so at a time. Minimal weight staff. Open kitchen scene Now i say sleeper because its not big on the ramen radar but it potentially can be because of flavor alone. Their menu is simple and to the point. They offer the standard classics as other ramen places. Their style of oreder is set by using a dry erase marker on a laminated menu and you can customize what you like to have in your soup and also the heat factor is selected, too!it a lil different than usual but they're on to sumthin here What pops out at me was their broth flavor(s) and THE BAC CHOY! brehh... im not a bac choy fan by any means(and i am asian) but when my family did not want their bac choy from the soups ...i ate all them mofos up cause they was that crisp, fresh and tasty! There was also a ramen that i never heard of and wanted to try called the TON TON ramen ....yumm! its like clumps of ground meat smothered in this peanut butter based sauce and nestled in a spicy ramen broth surrounded by fresh, al dente noodles in a bowl. ...i mean, ya...good like that! See my pics, yo! My family ordered they other ramens and those tastes were on point also. More on the natural side and not alot of sediment in their broth also! ...and you know when the kids eat the bowls then something is right! Its funny because i ordered my bowl like, super hot spicy and my wife ordered a mild ...we felt like hers was spicier than mine! So we brought it up to the cooks(ma n pa in the kitchen, i didnt get any names) and ma explained that was not possi le because of the colr of the broth, but she was so cool in that she hooked up another broth for my wife to test out the theory... to sum it all up.... i say YOU should come on in here and give em a try. Its a nice lil shop. They took care of us so you should get the same respect and that alone is worth a nod.

Great food. Absolutely delicious. My wife and I have gone twice in the past few weeks. Ramen soups are top notch and filling. Curry pork katsu is delish also. Appetizers are unique and very well done. Will be coming back regularly. The atmosphere is quiet too which is a nice change from most places

Their skewers are delicious!! Only eaten here twice... both times good experiences. The miso sea bass is a must try! We heard they may be changing menu selections... we hope not! Our last visit was in March 2022.

This place was amazing. Super clean and cozy place to coke eat at. Soon as you walk in, you can smell the savory tonkotsu broth. Wife and I got to bowls (mild) and some gyoza and chesu for the small bites. Most definitely recommend this ramen spot to anyone!

My daughter and I came here after she missed her flight. She was very depressed but the kindness and humility of the staff here completely cheered her up, in addition to the freshest, most flavorful vegan and vegetarian dishes one could ask for! We are so thankful to the cooks who made a special dish just for us, without us asking. I’m usually supremely picky about food but this place immediately one my heart.

Adore this place. Missed my flight and was miserable till the staff totally cheered us up. Thank you all so much. Means a lot.

3.5-4 stars. Ramen was good. We had shishitos appetizers that were really, really good! However, I think the Ramen needed a little less noodles and a bit more broth. The bathroom could also be a bit cleaner but overall, it was a good place. I'm sure I'll return.

Absolutely recommend eating here. The food was really tasty, and the staff so friendly and responsive. The tan tan with rice was the best.

You'll feel a warm welcome the minute you enter the place. We ordered miso tonkotsu ramen, yaki tori, yuzu tori, yuzu butabara, seaweed mixed salad, and mocha ice tea ( taste like matcha). They all looked good and delicious. Service staff are friendly and courteous. Looking forward to try their other specialties on my next visit.

DELICIOUS dinner! We loved the mixed seaweed salad, the chicken Yakitori and the miso ramen. We will definitely return to try other menu items! Thank you for the great food and the great service!

Very delicious yakitori and ramen. Highly recommend!

We had the spicy ramen (chose medium spice) and it was delicious with just the right heat. We also tried a couple skewers of Yakitori, both were good. Definitely recommend this place.

First time to eat here. The place was clean and neat. Staff members were helping each other. Our server was nice and attentive. We just noticed one person cooking without mask, since the kitchen had a transparent glass. We ordered Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen: their broth was really tasteful, the flavor and spices were great. I just noticed though that toppings comprised of spring/green onions, egg, bok choi (?) and pork belly. (Some served Ramen with bamboo shoots, seaweeds and mushroom. We also had Teriyaki and Honey Mustard (no photo) Chicken Yakitori- their presentation was nice and tasted good, not to tangy and not to sweet. Their pork sausage wasn't marinated that much, yet it was grilled as normal. Salmon as well was great(no photo). They also mentioned they stopped serving bento due to pandemic until further notice.

This has to be one of the most amazing places I've ever eaten at. My boyfriend and I have been coming here about every other week if not every week for the last couple of months and the quality of food is always so incredible. Everyone that works here is so friendly and treats us with such a welcoming manner. Also their spicy ramen is sooo good one of the few places that I've been to that their spicy isn't just hot it's full of flavor. They have such an attention to detail with how they care for their customers and how they make their food. I will always keep coming back here!
