    Spicy ramen if you need a pick me up and a slap in the face. Good.

    Ramen are good but not extraordinary. Quality does not quite match the high price, nor does the portion size.

    Not as good as ippudo but decent. Pass on the 1000 year old egg but order the Dan Dan noodles

    Utterly disappointing. The only redeeming dish was the grilled beef tongue. Ramen was passable. Okonomiyaki came out cold. Deviled eggs were mushy. Musubi rice was undercooked.

    Crispy eggplant was amazing. The tofu Coney Island was unique and good. The Ramen is a bit salty, but delicious still. Probably best veggie ramen I’ve ever had.

    Overpriced. The taste is good but the portions are really small even for Tokyo standars where everything is tiny.

    Don't get the cold Shio ramen. Bland, overpriced, not filling. Had to go next door for a slice of pizza to make up for it.

    First time I came here, I was not impressed. Tried it again, and still not impressed. The pork was way too salty and the table next to us agreed.
