The service is 5 stars but the broth is just 1 star. We ordered spicy paitan. It was so oily and no taste. I'b here since 1st week they opend. I would not come back again. Very disappointed.

Service was bad. Server had a empty restaurant and still provided minimum attention to customers and proceeded to be on their phone sitting with their back to the tables. Food and drink was far more expensive then it was worth. Two pieces of chicken and mostly just broth and noodles. Still tipped well because I felt bad about low sales but I don't plan on returning.

Will always be in love with any bowl of noodles, but this bowl has my heart. I got the Spicy Paitan Ramen and it was perfect for a cold night like today. Their spicy oil went perfectly with the scallions, ramen, bean sprouts and nori. I highly recommend you get yourself a bowl of heaven because I swear it warms your soul with every bite

We both ordered the spicy paitan. The broth had no flavor. The pork was dry.The onigiri ( Japanese rice ball) was not good. The pull pork was dry and no flavor. It's mostly rice and no meat.We did like the side kimchee($5!!!) and the fried chicken bun.

Place is very cozy, intimate, and the food is definitely good! Waitress was attentive & courteous while I was eating. I ordered the curry miso paitan (left) & char Siu mayo don (right)! Portions are perfect!

We would probably give this place 2 stars if we were just rating the ramen but the service was good so we thought we would give it 3 stars! The server was very attentive and the food came pretty fast! However, the ramen was just not good. The soup was flavorless but oily at the same time and the noodles were not cooked right. The egg wasn't great as well which is such an important part of the ramen! Also, there were flies everywhere so that wasn't so appetizing too...

One of the better ramen shops I have tried outside Japan. Had the shrimp ramen and I was happy with the flavor and the noodle. Will come back to try their other menus

Where to begin.....shall we start with the quality of food, or the price? We wish the best for all interested in this establishment, and for that reason we must be forthright. Neither of the above met expectations. Upon looking at the menu, we found that the ramen here was more expensive than almost any other place in the Boston area. We were willing to pay that premium for what we believed would be quality ramen. On the contrary, the ramen turned out to be below average in all honesty. The tonkotsu broth was good, but otherwise the noodles were basically like wet spaghetti, the pork seemed like it had just been microwaved, and the dishes were overall lacking necessary flavor and spice. In short, this was sub-par ramen at best at a jacked up price. Save your time, save your money, save your tastebuds. We advise you try another spot.

Fast service and good food - veggie ramen made spicy!!
Americanized Japanese ramen. (Details see below)✅Pork: The taste of pork is very good. Mega has shredded pork and 2-3 big pork cube. Appropriate fat and thin ratio.✅Noodle: Appropriate level of chewy and it absorbed enough flavor from the soup. Sadly mega doesn’t have enough noodle. (It focuses more on amount of meat)❌Broth: I feel like it’s trying to go for the tonkotsu thick base, but the flavor is not strong enough. It’s like drinking water + umami. Good tonkotsu base is very thick, strong umami flavor and smell, oily (like drinking a bone marrow soup). If trying the light base (like shoyu), then this is too thick.❌Onion: The onion in ramen was too strong that it covers other flavors. Scallion is normally what ramen use, but onion is pretty rare … if you want to put onion, maybe find those with weaker taste and slice it (rather than dice it)?❌Seasoning (put in middle): Sadly I’m not capable to tell what the seasoning is. But just be careful (if you are reading this). It’s super spicy (it’s the onion/wasabi kind of spicy) and my mouth was dead. Either dissolve it into the soup or take it out, your call.❓Egg: The color was dark so I guess it’s not that fresh. But I didn’t get stomach problem so debatable.$25.68 spent. Not cheap

Wow! Fantastic. I got the veggie ramen which had a delicious mushroom broth, and my partner got the curry ramen, which he said was really good. The spicy sauce we added really was delicious as well.We'll definitely be coming here again! Our waitress and chef were so nice. She was really knowledgeable about the menu and made fantastic recommendations (sorry I didn't catch her name, she worked on 6/18 night!)

Absolutely delicious Ramen, even better if you can eat it there instead of as takeout. They have a few options on their dine-in menu which aren't on their takeout menu, so worth checking out.

They are still serving beer from 2019 . The ramen was bomb though. Yelp told me I have to keep writing to make this a review but there's not much else to say. Night Shift Brewery should know that this place is giving their beer a bad name.

This restaurant is absolutely one of the coolest restaurants in the neighborhood. Anytime I visit this place I am deeply satisfied. They always keep their very high standard service and the topmost level of cooking they give. You will be always satisfied with this restaurant. Very recommended.
