There is nothing better than a steaming bowl
of ramen on a chilly evening, and the food here hit the spot! The stand-out dish was actually the special for the day, the spicy karaage chicken. Hopefully this will make it onto the regular menu because it was so good, and the curry dipping sauce that came with it was perfect. My toddler kept saying “more, more!” I got the tonkotsu shoyu ramen and the flavor was rich and full and the pork just melted in my mouth. There were only 2 pieces of pork that came with it, so in the future I’d probably add more. There were plenty of vegan options as well.
Only downside was that the restaurant does not appear to have a heater and it was very cold inside the restaurant, especially by the door where we were seated. I wish I’d brought a bigger coat. The restaurant is small and lots of people were seated outside…definitely dress warmly! We arrived around 7:15 on a Friday night and the restaurant was full but there was hardly a line. They told us it would be 20 minutes wait to get our food and it took about 30. By 7:45 there was a huge line and they were saying 40 minute wait times for food.
Really good ramen. We had the chicken paitan (regular + red) and both were really rich and tasty. Portion was pretty good.
I would have definitely given 5 stars if we didn’t have to wait 45-50 mins (for lunch on Saturday)!
Tried the chicken wings as well. They were pretty good too, juicy and fresh/hot. Less sauce then I would have liked.
Black sesame icecream - this one is a hit or miss. I personally didn’t like the bitterness of the sesame. But it’s interesting for someone who might like to try a different flavor!
Lots of vegan options, good seating and friendly staff. Wait was the only negative.
Fantastic ramen - but be prepared to wait! The line gets pretty crazy here, but it’s one of my favorite ramen spots. The employee said the “Tonkotsu Red” was the most popular dish, and I can vouch for its popularity! It’s not a ‘hot’ soup, it’s just ‘spicy.’
I’m glad I went here and I’d even consider going again to try more things!
