The best ramen I’ve had in North America! Price was reasonable too! We especially enjoyed the spare rib tan tan men, and the potato mochi! The service was superb in that despite the fact that we arrived just 20mins before they close, they were nice enough to let us in! And when I accidentally dropped my bag behind my chair waiter was so nice and immediately picked up my bag even though they were serving another table :) Waiter patiently and answered our questions honestly about the ramen, and promptly informed us when the kitchen was about to close. Overall great experience!
We ordered 2 different ramen. Both were very good. Service was very quick. Price was reasonable. Lots of parking available. We didn’t take pictures of the food, we were starving and started eating as soon as the food arrived. I would recommend it. I have 2 picky teens and they loved it.
Garlic and tantan short rib were both delicious! We also really enjoyed the karaage chicken.
Very popular local ramen spot! Would recommend going early as they tend to get very busy! You can also check in ahead of time online.
They have a variety of appetizers and would definitely recommend their chicken karage, potato mochi, and corn tempura.
You can customize the ramens based on noodle, saltiness, and firmness of noodle in addition to adding additional toppings. Not as much of a selection for dessert but I have been wanting to try their coffee jelly.

To ensure a seamless dining experience, it's strongly advisable to make a reservation in advance, especially if you'd like to avoid a potentially lengthy wait outside, given the remarkable popularity of this establishment.
One standout feature we particularly enjoyed is their commitment to customization. You have the freedom to tailor your ramen precisely to your liking, from the firmness and thickness of the noodles to the serving size, and even the flavoring and spiciness levels of the soup. This level of personalization adds an extra layer of satisfaction to your meal.
Our culinary journey here was nothing short of delightful. The Garlic Wagaya Ramen left a lasting impression with its rich, garlicky notes, while the potato mochi provided a unique and satisfying contrast. These culinary highlights made our visit truly memorable.

We ordered the tsukemen and the garlic wagaya ramen when we visited. The soup base was on point and really solid, not like any butter creamy stuff we normally get in Americanized ramen joint. Especially we love their garlicky flavors! Will definitely comeback to this place to taste again.
Busy Place. Very loud like a cafeteria. Had the Sparerib Tan Tan Men with regular noodles. Rich Spicy Flavorarable Sesame broth. delicious. Noodles. The Sparerib was very soft with lots of flavor. Noodle were cooked perfectly aldente. Had Gyoza appetizers but unfortunately while tasty the outside had a strong cast iron char and taste. You will need to put your name on the wait list if you are not there when they open. There is a wait. Overall good experience and I will be coming back.
Black garlic ramen and tantan ramen both great! Really love that they can choose soft cooked noodle.
Agedash toufu recommended. But the corn is not crispy enough.
