Great place to get quick ramen; it's a popular spot in Chinatown. They offer takeout now, which is amazing. The ramen is cooked al dente, which I love. It's not too salty ramen or broth like the other ramen shops.

Ramens were very good and i loved my onigiri. Takozaki was okay (8/10). I got original ramen , the broth was not very fatty which is great, the meat was very tender. We didn’t have to wait for long time which was a big plus!! Service was very quick and nice too. Definitely i would come back when i visit Philly again. 9/10
Spicy ramen is sooo good! Very quick service and friendly staff.

By far the best ramen joint in philly. Charsu is delicious, succulent and falls apart in your mouth. Great varieties of ramen accessible to everyone, including shoyu, miso, tonkotsu and even spicy style broths. Soft boiled eggs are perfect and flavorful. Great selection of appetizers / sides such as steam buns and takoyaki done really well. Service is pretty fast and extremely friendly. Everyone there makes sure you're taken care, and you can tell they really care about the quality of the food. Place is usually crowded after 5pm, waits can be as long as 30 minutes to an hour depending on party size. Duos usually get served a bit quicker than larger parties.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian shoyu and miso style ramens. The shoyu style ramen is very similar in flavor to the meat based shoyu.
Best Ramen I have ever had. The leek oil really brings the ramen to the next level. Quick service as well!

I love all the dishes here. I definitely recommend trying more than the ramen once you have had it because the full menu is amazing.

Delicious Ramen in a setting matching a Ramen shop in Japan. Worth a visit. Loved the Decor too

Okay, quite possibly the best Ramen we've had outside Japan. They skimp on the veggies a bit but we made the mistake of not ordering the extra scallions and pickled veggies. The broth and and noodles are they key and this place really nailed it for some random place in Philadelphia.
