I ordered two bowls of ramen yesterday for lunch via DoorDash. I actually had heard of this place but didn’t bother to really check it out since I feel like there are so many ramen places that are competitors that offer the same things. So basically I almost overlooked this spot but decided to go for it on a whim since I was curious. I was pleasantly surprised since I opted for the create your own ramen and just that was awesome - the ability to create your own ramen AND they offer *chicken miso*. I think I’m a fan now since I honestly don’t like pork or pork-based anything so I usually avoid ramen. But I think the chicken miso is something I will come back for! I only took off one star since I felt the broth was a bit too salty (kept having to drink a lot of water) so please consider a low sodium option.

This is a small place good for parties up to 3 or 4 people as seating is limited. You have to order at the counter, and for some reason, you're expected to leave a tip. I had the ramen with pork, and it was a fairly large plate. The ingredients seemed fresh, and the broth was tasty but nothing extraordinary.

This is a hidden gem, although it’s been there for three years. My friend took me here, and I loved it the first time, and I’ve been back several times. If I could eat this every day, I would…
Nice little place, definitely worth the visit. It was awesome they had vegan options and my friend loved it. I got pork miso with beef and veggies and super flavorful. Bathroom was clean but a dusty and small in the restaurant. No issues with service but saw a ton of to go orders while we ate so that's a good thing. Overall, nice place ? and I plan on going back soon.

If you're in the area, please give this place a try. I've been ordering here for years and the service is always great, the prices are awesome, and the food is consistently amazing. I usually order the BBQ combo w/BBQ Chicken & Bulgogi Beef w/ a side of extra japchae and the amount of food you get is impressive. I've not once received cold, under cooked or unseasoned food here. Keep in mind it is a smaller restaurant so if you have a large party seating will be the only downside.

First let me start by saying the service was great! The lady behind the counter was very friendly and attentive.The spicy tonkotsu ramen was not good though. The meat was watery. It tasted like it was boiled in unseasoned water. Sure it was tender, but tender meat that tastes like nothing isn't very appetizing. The broth was flavorless and tasted watered down too. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews but I will not return.
The Korean taco was ! Best taco by far I've had in Texas ! Bulgoi bowl is comparable to place down in Houston that was delish (ask for the spicy Mayo for the top). We've been before and the chicken is seasoned perfectly for the Ramen. Absolutely a must try!

Vegan Miso Ramen was just ok, I wouldn't order it again though. My husband enjoyed the Bulgogi bowl, Pork Katsu was also good. The server was the sweetest.

The curry ramen was really tasty, but the customer service was terrible. The guy behind the counter had his headphones in and was getting frustrated because he couldn't hear what we were saying. He seemed annoyed that we were there asking for food. He finally took one headphone out to take our order and promptly put it back in his ear. The air conditioning seemed to be broken as well, it must have been about 90° in there. Great food but at least have cashiers who don't treat your customers like they're an inconvienece.

Food was just okay. We had high expectations because of the reviews. The pork katsu was good, it was crunchy, and the portion is big. I would have wanted more of the curry sauce. It tasted good. And since there were 2 portions of the pork katsu, they should have provided more sauce.The shoyu soup did not taste as it should. It was definitely lacking flavor. Also, we were expecting Chasu pork with the ramen, but it came with grilled chicken, and chicken was tough. It is counter service. You place your order at the counter, then they deliver to your table.

Best ramen I have ever had. My go-to is the curry ramen, but I’ve had many other dishes here and have yet to find one I dislike. The food is fresh and delicious, with a rich broth and tender meat. The noodles are an excellent texture and the staff is always amazing and fast for such a tiny restaurant . I can’t believe it’s never packed whenever I go in.Parking: Plenty of parking since the antique mall is right next to it and normally quite empty at night
