Reviews
This place was small, you can see them cooking in front of you. It reminded me of Japan.
Because we just ate, we just ordered the bao bun which was really good. The bread was light and the meat was tender. We got the fish and chicken dipping noodle and that was delicious. We got tired of dipping so we just poured the broth over the bowl. The lime & pepper made every bite perfect.
Can’t wait to go back.
The space is small and minimalist, more focused on the food than atmosphere, but service is quick and efficient. It’s best for solo diners or a quiet meal for two.
If you love ramen and haven’t tried tsukemen yet, start here, Okiboru sets the bar high!
The broth is flavorful but noticeably salty, so dip lightly if you’re sensitive.
Noodles are chewy and good.
Chashu was just okay, but the fried croquette skewers were surprisingly nice.
Fast service, busy open kitchen.
Good for a quick tsukemen fix, just keep the saltiness in mind.
I tried their signature Tsukemen, and here’s my honest take:
The noodles are the clear highlight. Slippery, chewy, fresh, and made in-house — easily some of the best-textured noodles I’ve had. If you come here for noodles, you won’t be disappointed.
The dipping broth/sauce starts off decent — salty, rich, and definitely fishy (as expected with a fish-based broth). At first it didn’t feel particularly memorable, maybe even a notch below some other ramen broths I’ve tried. But it actually grows on you as you eat. The more you dip the noodles, the more the flavor settles in and becomes enjoyable. Still, the broth and noodle combo is the real star of the dish.
I ordered the chicken, and while it was tender, soft, and lightly charred, the flavor itself didn’t really stand out. Good but not memorable, and you only get about one or two slices, similar to the pork. For me, the meat isn’t the main draw here — the dish would honestly shine just as a noodle + broth set.
The staff were fairly nice, nothing exceptional but perfectly fine for a ramen shop.
The biggest downside is the price. Once you include tip, a single bowl of tsukemen will go above $30, which feels a bit steep considering the portion of meat and add-ons.
Some reviewers mention Michelin recognition, and I can see how the noodle craftsmanship might attract that kind of attention.
Overall:
• Fantastic noodles ✔️
• Broth that grows on you — salty, fishy, and increasingly enjoyable ✔️
• Chicken topping is okay but not memorable ✔️
• Price is high ✔️
Still worth trying at least once, especially if you’re curious about tsukemen and want a bowl where the noodle + broth combo really shines.
Their Tontori soup ramen is lesser known, but slaps just as hard. It’s a chicken / pork tonkotsu alternative that feels lighter and has a wonderful blend of umami flavors. Menma is also only a respectful additional $0.50, which I would recommend.
The place is small and packed, ordering through QR code and paying online is super convenient
It’s more of a Japanese-style ramen shop, so don’t expect full table service or a place to chill for long. You order through a QR code and eat quickly. Not ideal if you want to relax, but if you’re here for good ramen, it totally delivers.
