We got the veggie ramen and a couple appetizers. We were super lucky to get seated the moment we arrived and had no wait. Ramen worthy of the Michelin star :)

This has to be one of, if not, thee best ramen spot on the peninsula. Honestly, probably one of the best in CA. The food is always delicious and very fresh. The service is snappy and on point. There can be a descent wait time(30-50min) on certain days but I really believe it’s worth the wait. My favorite is the most popular ramen dish they serve: Homura Aburasoba. It never seems to disappoint.

We arrived a little before they opened on Sunday and the wait was about 50 minutes. They were pretty efficient, took our order while we were in line! Overall it was really tasty and even leftovers tasted great the next day. I think next time I would order takeout instead. Definitely recommend ordering an Original as well to your order. I think I rather order all raw eggs for my noodles next time, definitely brings the dish next level. Service was really great and friendly.

They gave a pretty good recommendation for an alcoholic drinkI did enjoy this different type of noodle dish. I also got the takoyaki which tasted great!

Came here on Sunday night, around 7pm, with a party of 5. We were seated pretty quickly, with less than 20 min of waiting.We ordered the homura aburasoba and the original, with takoyaki as an appetizer. Food came very quickly! The ramen was flavorful and filling, but we would’ve like more meat compared to the amount of noodles.Takoyaki was good, nothing too crazy, and the various toppings (chili powder, sesame, etc.) on the table was nice.Staff were very attentive and refilled our water many times! The space itself was clean and decorated very minimally.Overall, a nice place to try dry ramen for the first time.

Food is fantastic. Come during lunch on a weekday if you don’t want to wait in a long line.
