This is a no-nonsense Ramen restaurant. It's clean and looks better in person than in the pictures. You order from a kiosk, and your food is delivered directly to your table. The Ramen was excellent! Will be back. 🙂
I love this hole in the wall. I get lunch here after class and it’s cheap. I do wish the spicy miso ramen was spicier or if they had chili oil you could add yourself. Perfect if you dining on a budget tho.
For the price this was a really good Ramen! Tonkotsu with a dollop of spicy. I think they say their spicy chili is homemade, but it seemed like it was just a regular Sriracha. It was very spicy though. The broth was good. It was, temperature wise, hot. It was a very simple broth (flavored somewhat like cup ramen) with a very simple, buttery taste to it, but what I appreciate it about this one is that they took the time to marinated the pork and the egg in the sweet soy sauce which, of course, mixed in with that simple broth taste to make it a little more complex. Not really a stand out, but in terms of prices, it was definitely a stand out. The Ramen was very inexpensive. Maybe $11 or $12 dollars max without tip. I can tell people like this place because there was at least three to go orders waiting to be picked up, despite the building being empty.
It’s only getting three stars because the building had its own smell when you walk in, and you can tell it’s a very old building, and a little rundown when you look into the kitchen area. It didn’t seem dirty, but the smell makes you think it’s dirty. They had a self-service water cooler jug, which I really liked but probably needs to be cleaned more often. Probably need to be upgraded because the water wasn’t really cold. And there was no straws from what I saw. There might’ve been, but I didn’t see any.
Good interim ramen spot. You’re craving ramen, but your favorite place is unobtainable at the moment for whatever reason, this is a good place to get an inexpensive fix until you can get to your favorite ramen spot.

The people working here are very nice and polite. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with extra noodles, you gotta ask for the spicy powder and "broth" extra boiling hot.
Overall the price is good, they haven't really raised the price much (only by around a dollar) since inflation at only $10.90 on August 2023. Self-service style, so tip isn't required.
Tonkotsu broth is still consistent and milky, feels like it's missing something tho. However this you can ask for minced garlic and spicy powder to give extra flavor.
💯 Recommend coming back again.

Nice place for ramen! Food is as great and it wasn’t crowded at all. With there was a little bit more decor as the place felt a little drab. Portions are awesome but the ramen was slightly bland. I personally like food on all ranges of flavor, so it was good for me. Great experience overall.
Overall the food was good compared to the price. Note that the shoyu ramen here doesn’t come with the original clear soup with the color of soy sauce like I usually get from other ramen places. The shoyu broth here is look like the miso broth. The takoyaki is good.
Vege ramen was good. The broth was creamy and on the sweet side.

The dine in experience was really bad. We came in on a slow day, but all the tables were occupied by dirty dishes and no one came to clean them. We had to sit next to other people’s leftovers the whole time there. The ramen was mediocre taste and the price was ok.
I arrived hopeful and left impressed! I ordered the spicy miso veggie and added garlic flakes. This dish was delicious! Perfect for the fall weather. It’s great place to get a quick bite to eat. Aesthetics of the place and cleanliness got 5 stars. Staff is friendly and food was out quick! You order your food and drinks and pay before you sit with option to tip.
