One of the best bowls of ramen you can get in Osaka, it’s a very unique taste that you can’t get it anywhere else! Not sure why there are so many reviews about the chef being rude, they were really kind and strict about the rules to follow as this restaurant gets very very busy. If you’re in Osaka you cannot miss out on this place! My recommendation is to arrive 15 minutes early as during 6:30pm there can be a long wait.

The most popular kind of ramen is a bit salty for my taste. Very soy-saucey. I’d recommend the salt ramen (chicken &fisn stock based). Limited bar seating available but everyone eats relatively fast so the wait is bearable.

Taste quite diff as normal ramen, pretty strong pepper and chicken favor try the most popular one, with no regret.

Well balance soup, taste and smell great. Recommend.

Not sure why so many people complained about the service but the staff was extremely kind and polite when I visited (despite my Japanese being very poor). You enter and there is a sitting queue of numbered stools. The counter space is pretty limited (seats 8) and we waited about 20-30minutes to be seated for 2 people. This place seem to be popular with locals, we were the only foreigners there at the time. We came here to try the osaka-style ramen (chukasoba). It was very unique and delicious, I especially liked the thick noodles. We also tried the hayazushi, a unique nigiri with vinegar flavoring and wrapped in a leaf. The sushi is served upon ordering so if you're too hungry to wait for the ramen that's a good starter.

Signature ramen was really good. Customer service is pretty bad but not a disqualifier.being White or girl you'll get decent service. Asian male that isn't native Japanese expect to get the feeling you are an unwanted guest.

Ramen was okay, but the chef was rude !!! Is he japanese? He should be more polite like most japanese. Or maybe he felt his ramen is famous, if he keep his attitude like that, i think the business will be droped !

Ordered two ramens, not our cup of tea. However, the pork rice with green onion is very delicious. The price is reasonable. Quite a long queue of diners. It is a good experience to try different ramens.
