Ashley M.Ashley Mowrey: Is this place hip? Yes, the hippest of all. Can this place serve espresso that won't make you feel sick afterwards due to over/under extraction? No.

J L.J Li: My favorite! I prefer dark > medium roast, there's a cute little parklet-like area to sit outside, and it's close to Jack London Square. Great merch too.

Jules J.Jules Jones: After all the hype and trendy, long waiting times, this place was most unimpressive. I've had some amazing ramen and this is not even close. This is better suited for the ramen uninitiated.

Cameron W.Cameron W: Trendy place with Chez Panisse pedigree. The veg toppings are original, the noodles are very good and the miso broths are very thick on the tongue. Great flavor, very well done. A bit pricey.

V C.V C: Hip, thoughtful decor. Usually 3 Ramen options are provided - large portions, great flavor.
