So it is pretty affordable we’ll say, but I think that the Ramen quality could definitely improve but for the price can really complain. I think it’s about $12 for a bowl at lunch which compared to today’s prices the other Ramen shops is a steal.

The Ramen itself was not bad. It had a lot of soy and miso notes, but I didn’t have that much creaminess like typical Japanese Ramen. It was actually more Chinese style than I thought. They also put a lot of Napa cabbage in the noodles to fill the bowl up; I wasn’t a huge fan since I’d rather have more noodles, but I think it comes to personal preference. The best part about the dish was definitely the egg I really liked the goose. It was perfectly salted comparable to other Ramen shops and it was also very jammy in the center.

I would say for the area this r/‘en shop is OK but in comparison to all the Ramen shops, I’ve tried being up in Maryland and nova I think that this one is probably below par than what I usually have.
The service was pretty fast I would say and they were very quick to get my bowl out, probably within five minutes.

Ashamed because I have been here enough that the staff recognizes me but I always forget to review!

My Husband has had just about every ramen bowl on the menu. His favorites are the Dirty Ramen and the Tonkotsu Ramen. He travels to Japan a lot and says this is the only place in the 7 cities to match the flavor and authenticity and since we found it, now the only ramen spot we go to.

The miso, edamame, gyoza, corrode stay in our app rotation. As a pescatarian I am obsessed with the Veggie Ramen, Ebi Curry Ramen, and the Aji Fry Curry.

The staff is so sweet, attentive and the cooks really put care into every dish they put out. There is no reason they shouldn’t have a steady flow of busy, they are exceeding every mark. 10/10, A++ and we will be back soon!

Decent ramen for a good price. Toppings were plentiful, but noodles weren’t the best. Although firm, they didn’t taste especially flavorful. Almost similar to store-bought packaged ramen noodles. I would still go again, though.

Authentic hole-in-the-wall with attentive staff and excellent food. They even prepared some helper chopsticks after observing my youngest practice and struggle.

I took my 11-yr old finicky foodie and he LOVED it. He ordered the seafood ramen and the bowl was huge! The Human Hoover couldn’t finish it all! The flavor was amazing (I tasted his) and the price was great for the amount of food he got. I ordered the seaweed salad and gyoza. They were both really flavorful. I love a gyoza where the sauce is optional because it tastes so good without it. The staff was accommodating and kind. I’d definitely go back!

Been meaning to stop by here for awhile, and I’m so happy we did! It was probably the friendliest and quickest service I’ve had since I moved here 2 years ago.

I tried the Takoyaki and the Katsu Ramen. The food was amazing, the portions are generous, and the price was fair. I’ll definitely be returning to try more of the menu.

Nice small establishment. This was a good spot for date night. The waitress was lovely. She checked on us frequently and recommended things on the menu the ramen was good and very presentable! The fried cheesecake was nearly perfect! I recommend.

I travel to try new restaurants, mainly Asian restaurants. I’ve tried many ramen places including Michelin ramen to small local ramen shops. I wanted to try this place cause there were a lot of reviews and it seemed to have good ones at that. I am not going to say no one should try this, it’s okay. It’s not wow, it’s not bad. The reason I give this 2 stars overall service and flavor. First they messed up my order and gave me the wrong ramen and then said “on the house” when they gave me the correct ramen. They gave me katsu ramen, I ordered tonkotsu ramen. I still got charged for the ramen which I didn’t say anything about cause I wasn’t going to argue about paying and I just wanted to leave. As for the flavor of the actual ramen itself, it is lacking in flavor. The chashu pork was fine. The broth was not nearly as good as the small city ramen places, I’ve found. There’s ramen broth filled with flavor at other ramen shops. I personally will not be going back to this specific ramen place. I also take my kid with me when I try new restaurants, he didn’t want to eat the ramen and tried to tell the owner that it was bad and I was shocked that he blurted it out (he’s never done this with ramen before). She said huh? Cause she couldn’t understand him well. I told her it was nothing and told my kid to be quiet and just eat it. So as a person who’s tried many ramen shops with my kid, we can both agree that the ramen was just okay. I would have given the ramen itself a 2.5 star if I could but the service + food is a 2.

The service was great! The server was very helpful during the ordering process since it was our first time there, and I was alone with my very active kiddos. She was very helpful when they needed help with opening their drinks, and she made it fun for them. She checked on us at perfect times and really created an exceptional experience for my kids and I. The food was delicious and filling! I’m glad my kids were so open to trying something new, and they really liked the Salmon Onigiri and Chicken Fried Rice with fish cakes. We will be back!
