We ended in this amazing restaurant by chance!
I ate the Spicy Miso Soup, the first and second time that I went there because I love Miso soup but in this place is a level above of extraordinary because of the spicy flavor.
This last time I got the Habanero Tonkotsu Ramen and it was super delicious. It was very spicy but I like spicy!
My husband, the first and second time asked for Chicken Karaage, and the last time He asked for Shrimp Tempura Bowl. Both meals were amazing! The chicken super crispy and the shrimp super tasty! Oh, and the rice is always fresh (it doesn’t taste like a-day-old-rice).

Been meaning to go for ages off a friend’s recommendation and finally did today.
I will say that she did hype this place up a lot so did go in with slightly high expectations but overall was fine.
Their buta ramen had a good broth and is great for bean sprout enjoyers. Their appetizers are fantastic though and are cheaper during lunch.
Overall not in my top five ramen spots in the bay area but still a good ramen restaurant.
Pricing wise also they’re about the norm locally.

Went for dinner at 7pm on a Saturday and waited for 10 mins but it was worth the wait. It was a busy night and Ramen and kurage was great. My wife had the tonkatsu Ramen and it was flavorful.
Restaurant is cleaned and I recommend this place.

We tried champ two times back when it first opened, but the ramen was too salty for us and the big noodle was and uncook… So it’s been a while since we are back again this week. It’s nice to see the restaurant expand next door to have more seating. My son tried tonkotsu, and the borth was good, not too salty. My husband tried the shoyu ramen and the surface of the broth was ok but toward the bottom of his bow it was salty. My daughter tried the soupless ramen, and her big noodle was still hard but doable, and similar to my husband situation, her noodle was salty toward the bottom of the bow , yes even for the dry noodle. In the 3 ramen we tried, we like the tonkotsu . We also tried their teriyaki chicken karaage and some of the pieces with too much sauce also taste too salty for us. The fried gyoza was not bad. We like the tokoyaki appetizer best. In general, the food seems improved, the portion is generous, less salty this time , but still pretty salty for us. If you don’t like food too salty, I recommend to tell the staff to see if they can adjust the salt level. I think they can also improve on cooking the noodle too. The soft noodle to me was missing the tender, chewy, crunchy of the ramen I try at other store before. I think it’s more like the type or brand of noodle they use. The big noodle need to cook to the right amount of softness and chewy but not hard. In general, since we have better the experience this time, I think we’ll come back to try other items.

A small little place for decent ramen. It gets packed real quick so come early. Highly recommend the kaarage.

Absolutely incredible experience. I came on a Wednesday early afternoon and truly loved the food. I saw it can get busy at times on reviews, which is a great sign for any establishment, so we came during the earlier part of the day and Had no issues getting seated and eating in a timely manner. Customer service was extremely professional and polite. I plan on coming every week. From the noodles to the meat and the broth/soup every part of the dish was enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back. 10/10 or 5 star food experience. Thank you again.

Nice little cozy Ramen place. Love the atmosphere! Chicken karaage was juicy as always. As for ramen, the broth was a bit too salty for my taste and noodles were a bit hard to chew. Decent portion though. Will try again later for other dishes on the menu.
BTW, don’t like the fact that you pay up front (including tips) when you order.

I just had the best ramen I’ve tried in San Jose. The habanero tonkotsu ramen was incredible….perfect SPICE and flavor….and the karaage chicken was delicious. Not sure how this place is only at 4.4 stars, but I’m honestly fine with it… keeps the wait time shorter for me. Definitely some of the tastiest ramen around.

Brah honest truth by far best ramen I’ve had in mainland since having really bomb ones in Japan when I was still in the Marine Corps. Hands down the best! Got their Tonkatsu Tonkatsu ramen and the overall broth, to the noodles, and the katsu itself was just so so good. Also got Tonkatsu curry and portion is great for the price and Katsu again just amazing. Highly recommend!

This place seems extremely popular, but it wasn’t great for me. Went here on a rainy Friday evening and it was still packed. Not too many ramen joints in this part of town.
I do like you order on your own using a QR code, and if I recall, you pay that way too. The weird thing was you pay for tip before you actually get your food, which is odd to me, because I tip according to service.
Their food selection was fairly large. We tried two ramens. The Buta and the Tonkatsu.
The Buta looked great and it came with an egg, which I liked, but the broth wasn’t hot and maybe I’m not used to the Shoyu flavor but wasn’t my thing.
The Tonkatsu was basic and okay, but again just wasn’t hot enough.
