    Amazing ramen place! I tried the Tonkatsu ramen and it was really delicious. The ambience and design of the place is a nice mixture of traditional and modern. Overall an amazing experience!

    Oct 2014. This place is seriously good. It doesn't have to be SUPER authentic to be absolutely fantastic in the taste and preparation of the food. Crowded, but completely worth it.

    Be prepared to wait- outside for a table AND inside for your food. P.s. Order extra noodles!!!

    Had the spicy miso, pork gyoza, and the ribeye yakitori. It was delicious, ribeye was juicy and tender. Spicy miso was spicy and on point with flavor.

    Besides the incredible ramen, pork belly and pandan donuts are both to die for.

    The grilled mushrooms, chicken heart, squid, and ribeye are all really good. The pork belly was a little tough.

    Make sure your entire party is there otherwise you won't be seated. The space is small and tables aren't large enough to seat more than 6. If you have a larger party, you will he separated.

    You may have to share a booth with strangers during peak times. Kinda like a blind dinner date. It makes for a fun dining experience.

    Garlic Black Bean ramen was ok. Spicy Miso ramen tasted better. Broth is flavorful & it doesn't leave your mouth thirsty, so it's fresh & doesnt have preservatives.

    Ramen spoons so you can hang them on the side of the bowl without making a mess on the table.

    Tofu cheesecake is light & tasty, but it's missing cake on bottom. On top of that, they charge $4 & you get a small jar looking thing. Not worth it. I could've made it better myself.

    1+ hour wait. Overpriced mediocre food, way over hyped. HAIR IN FOOD & then told us no one there had hair matching what we found. Worst part about the whole thing was the owner's RUDE response.
