Cameron W.Cameron W: Best Ramen in Oakland and perhaps the entire east bay. The tonkotsu broth was in the top 3 I have ever had (ippudo NYC, Diakokuya LA). The key is the intense browned pork flavor that comes through.

Ashley M.Ashley Mowrey: Everything is amazing. The fried potato salad was my favorite. Good sharing portions and perfect sized ramen bowls, enough to be full, but not so much that any goes to waste.
