For the love of all that is ramen this place is a damn gem. First it’s in a strip mall and looks like a dump from the outside but do not and I mean this do not let this fool you. The inside is just fine.The staff was fast and polite not a lot of time for chitchat they were busy cause this place filled up and fast.The food is honestly some of the best ramen I have ever had.
