Excellent ramen, small plates, sake and atmosphere. I ate the original ramen w/corn and pork broth! Delicious! Also had shoe-string potato wrapped shrimp-so good and crunchy! Hubby and I shared the pork Bao and chicken tenders. Bao were larger than most and lots of pork flavor. The chicken was delicious but not as special as the rest of our plates and bowls! We’ll be back! Service was friendly and helpful. Loved it!

Fantastic find. Such a cute resturant. Small, inviting atmosphere that is really cool looking inside. The hit sake was exactly what you wanted. The pork buns were perfect. The ramen was perfect. The original Ramen with pork was very good. ...

This spot is the one you’re looking for. That smaller style really flavorful restaurant with a wonderful menu. Will be returning 30 min drive.

Definitely recommend! We had spicy miso ramen, tsukemen, and ebi potato -all of which were amazing! I love Japanese ramen so I've been to multiple places, but this is one of the few places I would come back often if I live around it. (So sad I live in different state) Anyways, you have to try ebi potato if looking for something new and special for this restaurant! the service is good too:):)

Ordered the Shoyu Ramen. The noodles here are a thinner type of ramen noodle, but I still was satisfied. Everything else was really good, and the smell was extremely appetizing especially. There are coat hangers next to each table, which is really convenient. Also ordered the green tea flavored mochi with coconut cream - not ice cream (they don't have ice cream mochi). Interesting texture. Tastes pretty good. Only other flavor they supply is strawberry.

Hip place. Ramen were amazing. Spicy edmame hit the spot. Pork rice was yummy. Chicken karrage average. Cold sake was yum. Mushroom bao bun divine!!!

Great Ramen and rice place! Parking is on the street with parking meters unless you go on a Sunday when parking is free. We had the excellent house sake hot (large), the spicy ramen in Tonkotsu soup and the Chashu Don rice dish. Staff was really friendly. Will definitely go back.

It was good; I liked the dumplings and chicken katsu; the curry sauce was delicious. I think the interior could have been a little better, felt a little low on the energy inside.
