The place is great! Food was soooo good! The curry was next level in my opinion and one of the best I've ever had. The tonkotsu ramen was high quality the sides like potato salad, tofu and karaage were so good as well! Everything was good! Servers filled up drinks without asking and food came out quickly and hot! Kudos to the whole team here. The place isn't the biggest and you may be waiting a bit depending on how busy they are, but they can turn tables around pretty quickly. We came on Valentine's evening and were able to get a table within 5 minutes. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Prices were reasonable for what you got.

Great ramen. Had the spicy tonkotsu with level 5 spice and gyoza. While spicy, it was totally doable. If you like spicy, don't hesitate to max it out here. Very much recommend. Partner ordered shio with shrimp wontons. She enjoyed it a lot, the broth was quite delicate.

Thai was very nice. A little warm inside but good broth and the noodles were nice. It is wonderful to see different noodles used for pork and chicken broth!

We recently visited this spot for lunch to celebrate my son’s birthday, as he absolutely loves ramen. We left extremely full and very satisfied! The lunch special is a great deal—ramen, gyoza, and a rice bowl with your choice of meat, all at a price that’s more than fair considering the amount of food you get. The kids' meal was a nice surprise, too, with ramen, gyoza and a Capri Sun included. The service was impressively quick, making it perfect for a lunch visit. The only minor drawback is the small parking lot, but it’s definitely worth it for the delicious food and excellent value. Highly recommend for anyone craving a hearty, satisfying meal!

Came here specifically for the vegan ramen and was very happy with my experience! I got the vegan black ramen. They were sold out of the vegetable gyoza unfortunately and the server said they haven't gotten a shipment in awhile. Will definitely come back and recommend to any vegetarians or vegans I know.

We came for a late night dinner after Halloween. I had this on my list to try so was happy to mark it off. We had about an hour before closing and there was only another couple in there. The place is small but not too small and there were about six workers total. Parking is same as Papa Johns and a laundromat. They have an extensive menu and what I really like is that they have vegan options. I am pescatarian but I appreciate the vegan menu. I ordered the vegan tan tan and it was absolutely delicious. It was very flavorful with lots of different textures. I wouldn't 100% order this again. The Mr had tonkatsu spicy miso and enjoyed it. He also enjoyed the gyoza and chicken karaage. Service was very good and attentive, but not sure if it was because we were one of the last ones there. There is a small parking lot that because we went around 9pm, had availability.

Spectacularly delicious Ramen. I had the Shrimp Wonton Ramen with the Shoyu broth. The dish was very generous with the shrimp wonton, which also had chicken, bok choy, bamboo shoot, scallion, nori, and half an egg. The Ramen noodles were just the right chew in a well-balanced broth. This family run restaurant was friendly with attentive and fast service. The atmosphere was nice with a sleek modern Japanese style decor. The place and food felt higher end with very reasonable prices.
