Amazingly delicious food, transparent and reasonable bill, and good service. I got the spicy tonkotsu and would give it a 10/10 as a ramen lover. Matcha ice cream was also perfectly balanced. Would definitely go again and recommend.

The ramen broth is definitely different in an amazing way than any other ramen spot. They definitely have their own recipes for everything, like I became a fan of their chili oil, it doesn’t taste like your regular store bought but is very nutty. My husband ordered their butter chicken ramen which we have never heard of of before. Everything …

Fantastic Ramen and noodles. The dining room is on the small size and they dont take bookings however its worth the wait. The crispy pork ramen for the win.

I think I’ve found my new favorite ramen place. I always walk past this spot and there is a long line outside and now I understand why. I walked in alone at 6:30pm on a cold weekday and was easily able to be seated at the window. Atmosphere: The place is tiny, cozy and may be tight for larger groups …

My wife and I were just there for lunch today. There’s a line out the front 1:30pm on a Monday which’s saying something. It’s super warm inside which is awesome for a cold day like today. The service was top notch. I did not get the waiter’s name, but he’s super effective and tentative to us the whole time while …

This Japanese cuisine was a culinary delight. So much so, we came two days in a row. Totally recommend the tuna tartare, karage chicken and of course the ramen bowls

Nice little gem in lower manhattan, service friendly and welcoming, food tasty and nice vibe. Is a small place so prepare to wait for your seat, which is small too

Was passing by and stopped in on a whim. I am glad I did. The ramen was delicious, well flavored, balanced but not overwhelming. The service was great, my water glass was never empty. Highly recommend.

The drink portions are small but the bestie and I ordered the Melon Float and it was super good. The fries were immaculate, we also ordered some Takoyaki. The temperature was perfect the moment we got them, I've burned my tongue in other restaurants when I got them because they were extremely hot but they were pleasant from the get …
