Kathy LiuDecember 31, 2015Really delicious and authentic ramen, flavorful, but light. Easily one of the best of the city. Extremely nice and polite waitstaff, too!
The tonkichi is hands down the best authentic Japanese ramen I have tried in the city. The broth is light but milky. The pork loin chashu was very tender. Pork belly bun was amazing!
Chez OngDecember 7, 2016The broth is rich and delicious while not being oily. I got ramen with the baby snow pea leaves. The portion of leaves is generous to say the least. Their takoyaki was excellent!
D CDecember 20, 2015Great jazzy ambiance. No line at all and great prices. Cash only though! Karaage and chashu ramen were on point. the staff here speaks a bit of Chinese too!
TomFebruary 13, 2017Skip the lines at Ippudo and Tatto and come here for ramen. Great tonkotsu and yuzu ramen. Interesting potato-base whip topping. Skip the pork buns, must try the takoyaki.
Noah MOctober 1, 2016The spicy ramen was unbelievable, with a perfect arrangement of nori around the bowl. While an unassuming place from the exterior, they *really* know what they're doing in there.
Go Find AliceApril 29, 2016Authentic tonkotsu ramen! Thick and creamy broth with excellent noodles. I prefer this over Totto or Ippudo!
Had the best spicy tonkotsu ramen EVER. It had a hint of yuzu and spice was just right. LOVED IT!
Ethan CDecember 28, 2015Although the menu isn't as extensive as the near by Ippudo but the ramens are just as good without the 90min wait!! Modern and relaxing interiors with bar seats.- Hands down the most authentic tonkotsu ramen in town.
Ernesto GutierrezMarch 25, 2016Tasty ramen with a light broth. The spicy yuzukosho-men ramen had a certain spicy Latino flair to it. Would definitely recommend!
Elynn LeeFebruary 3, 2016Noodles are incredible - taste really great and have good texture. Not a lot of toppings for what you pay, though you can order and pay more. Can be a long wait because the place is pretty small.
Christina ChinMarch 27, 2017Has thin straight noodles I like. Decent ramen, got #1 that is richer broth. Fairly priced and no wait when we went wed night. Pork buns are just ok. Soft Boiled egg is on point
TimelessnomadDecember 22, 2015Green tea ramen! Yum. I watched from the bar as the chef wished in the matcha powder. It was delish.
Tim DengJuly 3, 2018You might think the matcha ones are weird, but they are GREAT! The whipped cream has no added sugar so it’s not strangely sweet, just creamy.
Dáša JaníkováMarch 9, 2020I missed an egg in my pork ramen, but the broth was tasty, the chicken ramen was delicious.
XinnieAugust 14, 2017Takoyaki was amazing. Ramen broth was just nice, not too bold or salty. Noodle is thin but I love it.- Jing Jing LiFebruary 27, 2017The Ajitama ramen is delicious, with a rich pork broth. The toppings are simple and don't overwhelm the bowl.
Tina DowlingAugust 25, 2017Pork buns and Ajitama ramen are AMAZINGGGG! Their chicken is also great too!
Honghui YuJanuary 25, 2018Good noodles at a great price range but the broth I had was a bit too fatty for my taste.
Pema ChodenApril 6, 2019Super oily pork and chicken ramen with nothing in it apart from the bamboo shoots and shitty pork. Came here on a friend’s recommendation and wasn’t up to the expectations at all.
Evan StaffJanuary 14, 2016Not the best ramen in town, but solid and reasonably-priced, with excellent service to boot. I'd pass on the spicy one -- if you think it'll even slightly resemble Totto you will be a very sad panda.
