SuperjonbotAugust 11, 2011The absolute worst ramen ive had so far, spicy ramen was a joke. This meal will be the first thing I undo when time travel gets invented
Insanely fast & delicious delivery. Literally 5 min.
Mat BrownNovember 21, 2009Get the shio ramen - it's delicious and not a standard offering at ramen shops.
ivy♥March 17, 2013The service is good but the ramen is, unfortunately, just so so. I still prefer Ippudo!
David NelsonJune 17, 2010Let's put it this way...I come in from Long Island for the ramen here. Yes, it's that good.
David RNovember 8, 2016The ramen wasn't that great and I found a long grey hair in my fried chicken. :-(
thmJune 8, 2013Cash only!!! That annoys me. Service was mediocre and food used to be way better at the old location. Sad face.
Marina B.December 14, 2013Not worth the wait at all, shoyu ramen was bland and Mabo was too thick, too much cornstarch.
- Sad. After the move this place just isn't the same anymore! Different staff and I suspect, owner. Different vibe too :(

"The lunch special is amazing. Huge amounts of food for a great value. Always always get the Akamaru modern. Or the wasabi salad (not too spicy) and pork buns."

"Tokyo Tsukemen is the way to go on a hot day. Great alternative to Ippudo and other popular ramen spots - no wait!"
Alexa Scordato - 8.2
"As everyone mention the first things you need to try are: Spicy Garlic Ramen, Garlic Edamame Butter and Fried Chicken. They also have Sapporo on draft which is the perfect combination."

"The best dessert experience you could ever possibly have. Chika is a dessert alchemist. There's no wrong choice on the menu, and it comes in a 3 course experience. My favorite dessert spot in the city"
Liang Shi - 7.6
