I have wanted to visit during business hours but due to my work schedule I haven’t. I walked in 9:50 pm attempted to place a take out order although I was at their register the Lady said they were closed. 🥲 I have been craving that Tantán-Men 🤤 not today.
Simply an amazing ramen place! The atmosphere and decorations were wonderful (and the bathroom was clean), the server was kind and responsive, the menu has great variety and great vegan options, and the food was unbelievably delicious! My partner and I will definitely be back!
Food was delicious! Definitely reminds me of authentic Japanese food. The takoyaki was perfectly cooked and a must-try! I also had the yakisoba, which was well portioned and amazing as well!
Quick and easy for an online pickup. Very flavorful broth and overall really good. The spicy miso wasn’t too spicy but I added some of the pepper on the table. Only indoor seating.
I came to this location based on the reviews and I can tell you the food here is so overrated, very bland and the SERVICE… Let’s just say they can care less if you don’t like their food…They have zero sympathy for your feedback ZERO! The lady that serviced us was in her 50’s she might think she’s in her 30’s but NOPE she’s in her fifties for sure she must’ve been PMSing…
We had the Gyoza’s for our appetizer and the ground meat inside was slimy and it was probably the cause of my diarrhea a few hours after eating there… My ramen came out with fried chicken but they tried to fool me because the meat was cold to touch as if they didn’t microwave it long enough before serving it to me… I brought it to the server’s attention that the chicken was cold and she just took it off the table with an attitude and walked away with it. Shortly after the server came back and literally threw the fried chicken back on the table. I then noticed that she brought back the same chicken because there were (2) pieces I bit off which was still on the plate but this time there was grease liquid all over the plate as if they dropped the chicken in the fryer and pulled it out. When she was passing by our table I asked her, what did you do to my chicken??? You threw it in grease to make it look like it’s a new piece that you all cooked?! She said, you picky! Just eat it!
I then asked for the check and since she had zero sympathy I left her a big FAT ZERO for her gratuity!
Not coming back to this place! Every other ramen restaurant I’ve been to is way better than this location.

Really clean place and welcoming staff who pays attention to you. Spicy Miso ramen was so tasty, among the best I tried so far. Really delicious and for a fair price.
Ingredients they use are obviously fresh, they have an open kitchen that looks neat. I recommend!!!

Searching for a replacement Ramen restaurant in our area, we found Boru today. Quaint little restaurant next to the cinema.
Food was excellent and authentic; service was superb. Even though the place could use a facelift, it was very well kept and most importantly... CLEAN.

The food is insane. So good. I've never had ramen that had such a deep intricate flavor like that before. Spicyness level was perfect too, I got the spicy chicken broth with the pork. The calamari was great too.
