Yelp Review 2024 #52:
I've been coming to this ramen spot since they opened several years ago. It's the closest ramen shop that's good without having to drive to Chinatown.
The space is small. With high top seating, and a few booths. Depending on when you come here, you might have to wait for at least 10 minutes. I happen to always come here when it's busy!
I tend to get the same type of ramen and just change up my appetizers. I always get the ramen combo with my choice of side/ appetizer and another appetizer if I'm sharing with somebody.
Chicken Karaage:
Fried pieces of chicken that have been lightly battered. It's juicy and crispy. 3.5/5
Popcorn Shrimp:
Deep-Fried and battered shrimp served with Chipotle mayo and Yum Yum Sauce. 3.5/5
Soft-Shell Crab:
Deep-Fried Soft Shell Crab served with Carrot Puree, Eel Sauce and Creamy Aji sauce. 4/5
Gyoza:
Pan-fried pork and vegetable dumplings. Ramen and gyoza are a classic combo. Meaty, juicy and delicious. Crispy on the bottom and tender on top. 4/5
Crispy Rice with Tuna:
Crispy fried rice with spicy tuna on top. 4/5
Tonkotsu Ramen:
Ramen in pork-based broth with sprouts, chashu, soft-boiled egg, green onions. You can add whatever extras and toppings you want for additional cost. 4/5
Black Garlic Ramen:
This is my favorite because it reminds me of the black garlic ramen that I love so much from a ramen restaurant I used to go to in L.A. Lots of good flavors happening here. Tonkotsu broth with black garlic oil, m chashu, soft-boiled egg, green onions, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, deep -fried onions, and deep-fried garlic. 5/5
Service has always been friendly. It's a nice little casual place for a bowl of hot noodles. Food comes out pretty quickly. They have Coke products, Ramune, tea, etc. Other appetizers include edamame, takoyaki, fried baby octopus, salad, seaweed salad, shishito peppers, and Agedashi tofu. For dessert, they have cheesecake and mochi ice cream.
