This is a great little hole in the wall with good food and great service. I really enjoyed the slightly spicy freshly cooked Korean Wings, fresh and comforting salmon poke bowl, and sweet brown sugar dango for supper on a sweltering summer evening. It hit the spot and left me satisfied. The servers were attentive and helpful throughout. Thank you!

Finally rating the Kalibu location in Wethersfield after dining in a few times and ordering out several more times. I will say this place is consistent and I’ve never had a bad meal. Considering all the different Ramen places in the area, I would say that this location in particular is one of my favorite. I love that they have a wonton Ramen option, as well as their angry wontons (Clearly give me all the wontons). But I also love their edamame as simple as it is. I love the spice on it. I appreciate their Goma cucumber salad, and the fact that this location has a bar for some sake and another cocktails and they even have Boba tea. Every time we do dine in the service is pleasant and efficient. It’s become a rainy day spot for us, but we appreciate the team so much absolutely recommend visiting or ordering out when you can.

Honestly the food was really good. I was considering giving a 4 stars because the portions were small, my whole family finished within 20 minutes. But the whole meal was served really quick and the place was pretty empty. Also the truffle noodle soup tasted so so good. Deserving of a 5 stars for the quality taste.

Everything from the service, ambience, food and music was A-1! Really enjoyed the wings and the ramen was tasty and filling. 10/10! I like that they have a lunch special as well. The pork boa bun was superb and so was the tempura shrimp roll(it was crispy and super fresh and flavorful). Loved this place!

Decided to try this place for lunch and was not disappointed! All of the food was so fresh and flavorful, the staff is so welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable, and the prices are great compared to other places. I would definitely recommend!!!

The Tonkatsu ramen with an extra egg was insane. Better than most ramen I had in Japan 🇯🇵! I got extra noodles because the broth was so delicious.

My favorite ramen place. I’ve had the Curry ramen, Kaliubon ramen, Tokyo Chicken ramen, and Beef ramen. Each one is so different in flavor but equally delicious. I recommend the Kaliubon ramen if you like peanuts and the Curry ramen if you like spice. I also recommend getting the Pork Bao! Everything is so flavorful and is definitely worth checking out!

We enjoyed the food here. The waitress was friendly. Overall, we liked both the service and the food.

Their beef ramen rocks! This is a normal staple in our household for takeout :) this can compete with some of the ramen/noodle places in NYC!

If kaliubon is only 15-20 minutes away from me, I'll be here every week.. sadly it's almost an hour drive but so worth it. The best tonkotsu ramen!! BF had tokyo chicken ramen, it's good if you like a light bowl of ramen and don't like pork, but the tonkotsu for me is the best here. He's not a fan of pork but when he tried what I got, chashu and broth, he loved it, so next time. Dumplings were the bomb as well. Service is always on point and I can't wait to be back!!

Came here for a solo dinner, place is clean and cozy. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They have a bar which is nice and the presentation of the ramen is great. Flavor wise I was expecting more of a red Thai curry flavor but this wasn't as heavy on the coconut flavor. It was a big size bowl so very filling. The melon soda is yummy but comes in a small can

It's not a lie that Kailubon is on of my favorite Ramen places around! The broths are well formed and rich while the noodles and accompanying

"In February it will be My snowman's anniversary With cake for him and soup for me!" (Carole King) When checking out Kaliubon's menu from home as a prelude to my business lunch, I sure had the impression they were a follower of the Subeay model, where the customer walks down the ordering line and points at this and at that to build their order. But I was wrong, Kaliubon is a conventional and traditional table service. They have similar lunch menus and dinner menus that differ by around $2 or so. Our lunch menu offered us a dozen appetizers (baos, wings, dumplings salads ranging from $5 for edamame to $14 for a Cajun Crab Bao. The lunch entrees are 12 choices within the noodle/ramen family for $14 and six Poke Bowls ($12-$14). Lunch combinations include one of the appetizers. I ordered the the Kaliubon Dumplings as my appetizer and they were excellent. Bursting with ground pork and shrimp with crispy shallots, cilantro, scallions, tomatoes, and roasted peanuts swimming in a spicy Sichuan chili sauce. My spicy salmon Poke Bowl was excellent, with a generous portion of salmon cubes, edamame, cucumber, seaweed, crispy shallots, and pickled ginger all in a zippy spicy sauce and served over a mound of white rice. I loved it. My 2 lunch-mates both ordered ramen bowls, and I have to admit, they really looked fabulous. Service was friendly and helpful. I was very impressed with my first visit to Kaliubon.

We love this place. So delicious it's worth the thirty minutes drive. The service is fast and the ramen is always hot.

I was really impressed with the beef Ramen, very yummy. Although the deep flavors represent more of an authentic Chinese noodle soup than that of Japanese Ramen. The beef slices tastes kind of like the brisket from Bear smoke house, without the outer layer of smoky bbq flavor. However, I don't care, 5 stars for an excellent bowl of Chinese noodle soup!

Cannot say enough good things about this place! We ordered the garlic edamame and the wontons for an appetizer. The wontons were so fresh and so full and served with this amazing sauce. That edamame was spicy and so unique. Definitely a must try! Amazing to say the least! For ramen my table I ordered the hot and sour and the other party ordered Kaliubon. Again, both were amazing. Through the whole meal, we could not stop talking about how good the food was, and when we would be returning. Into

Do you remember the movie line -You had me at hello? Well Kaliubon- You had me at chili oil! Which by the way was delicious! Our dinner at Kaliubon was spectacular. We started off with the pork bao and dumplings. The pork belly was so flavorful and the cucumbers gave a nice crunch. The dumplings had a perfect filling/wrapper ratio and were spicy. I had the beef ramen and hubby had the Kaliubon ramen. Both were all that you want in a bowl of ramen...chewy noodles, a rich broth and tender meat. I love the egg they put in with the ramen. Service is always quick and professional and the seats are very comfortable. What a great ramen spot!!

I had the tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious! I loved the creaminess of the broth and how fresh the noodles tasted. Also tried the beef spring rolls which had great flavor combinations. Will definitely be visiting again

We came here when this location (the original) opened several years ago (pre covid) and we were blown away. It was by far the best ramen in the state. Over the years (I suspect change in management and staff) the quality has declined significantly. It's still good but it's just not great. I have been meaning to try their West Hartford location to see if the chefs and favorite staff moved there. Our waitress tonight was very kind and attentive. The kitchen forgot our order of edamame but I guess that's not a big deal. My husband's food came way before mine which again isn't a huge deal but it's just not an ideal experience. This place used to be out favorite spot and sadly I think after several disappointing meals we probably won't be back. I am still giving them 3 stars though because those Korean wings are still absolutely delicious. My tuna poke was really good too. I opted for that as I just don't enjoy their ramen anymore. The space is always clean and it makes for a chill vibe where you feel comfortable in casual clothes and bringing the kids. Crossing my fingers that West Hartford will be better as they really did have something special here.

My husband was craving ramen and although we occasionally grab takeout from here, we decided to eat in for a change. The decor is cozy and cute and there is a tv over the bar that was playing a basketball game at the time. We didn't feel rushed at all or like we were on top of anyone at another table (in fact, we were in a comfy little booth). The servers were all very nice and our bubble teas and food came out quickly. I can't emphasize just how grateful and thrilled I am that they offer gluten free ramen here!! I ordered a lychee bubble tea and the gluten free ramen with shrimp, scallions and corn. I tried to order the bamboo shoots but thankfully the waitress warned me that it contained wheat. My husband got the beef ramen and a taro bubble tea. We both absolutely loved our food and left full and happy. I do love eating takeout in my pjs, but there is nothing like fresh ramen in a restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Some of the best ramen I've had! Staff is always great and the food is always served in a timely manner.

This is my 2nd visit to KR. The staff is friendly, it's small and clean, they sell wines and Sake and Beer. Staff is young and very attentive. The food is delicious! I love the KR Dumplings with the Garlic Sauce. I poured the rest of that sauce over my Crispy Chicken Poke Bowl. $13 for great portions. I want to try the KR WINGS! I have tried the Salmon POKE but didn't realize that it was not cooked. It was still excellent. I was told you can have it cooked for $1.00 making that bowl $15. Still a great portion of food.

Back! This time for some dinner apps - Soft Shell Crab Bao and Kaliubon Wings. The wings had a crispy exterior, which was especially impressive because I was late picking up my takeout. They had a sweet Asian glaze, sesame seeds and thin sliced green onions. Awesome taste and execution! Soft Shell Crab can be polarizing, but I thought Kaliubon did a great job with these bao. The bao themselves were perfect. The soft shell crab coating was nice and crispy. The sauce was very tasty. Still 5 Stars for Kaliubon. And if I can go tangent for a second, it's time to acknowledge the 1 mile-ish long stretch on the Silas Deane, between Angry Tofu and Kob Jai, that also includes Utsav, Ginza and Kaliubon. Mile for mile, it may be the best collection of Asian Restaurants in the State. They each have 4.5 Yelp Stars with a sample size of hundreds of reviews. Among them, they cover at a high level a variety of Korean, Indian, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese foods including sushi, ramen, hibachi, pho, Thai curries, Thai noodle and rice dishes, Thai stir fries, Thai soups, Indian tandoor dishes, Indian rice and noodle dishes, a variety of Indian chicken, lamb, seafood and vegetarian dishes, Korean tofu soups, Galbi, Bulgogi and Korean noodle, rice and stir fry dishes. Five legit 4.5 Star Asian Restaurants in about one straight line mile. The "SILAS DEANE 5"!!!!!! Spread the word. It's a thing!

Best ramen in CT by far! The other apps and plates are also fantastic. Been here a few times and everything I've tried has always been excellent.

Food is 5 Star but the service is 1 Star. They have "food runners", not an assigned "waitresses" so the service is absolutely terrible. I had to leave my table to chase staff down five times due to no follow-up. first for water, second for a fork and spare plate for my child, third for more napkins and finally to cash me out after sitting at an empty table for 10 minutes. The servers NEVER checked back EVEN ONCE after bringing out the food. They just socialized over at the bar. If you are formally asking for 18%-25% percent tips on every bill, then provide a dedicated service waitress, and NOT random one-time food-runners. Probably the best food combined with the worst service I've ever experienced. I guess that's what Uber Eats is for...

Anas A.

Yelp
Awesome, mind blowing...etc The food was amazing the service was great, can't ask for any better. There was a bit of wait because I went there on a busy night but that's not a problem because busy means money. This was my first time eating real ramen noodles not from a package at a store, I loved the broth was nice and the toppings were fresh. Noodles were just right. Fried calamari blew my mind, the best I have ever tasted in my life And the spring rolls are amazing so fresh(literally a flavor bomb)

Aaron S.

Yelp
I've had some amazing meals here and previous reviews were 5 stars. Ramen still outstanding BUT 4 chicken wing segments for $11...and 3 with almost no meat on them...sorry guys, you rip customers off you get called out. Absolutely ridiculous. Not sure I will be back.

This place definitely hits the spot on a cold day while healing from a cold. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo at a ramen place--should start this new tradition because the place was nice and empty! Starting off with the brussel sprout salad and the pork boa, I thought I overestimated my abilities to eat because I was stuffed! The brussel sprouts were in a tamarind dressing that essentially sank to the bottom so we had to mix that well. Wished it was a bit thicker so it cling onto those bad boys. Nevertheless, I cannot complain when it comes to fried brussels--oh my weakness! The pork baos came out shortly after and I will say, two for $8 was not the best deal for how small and underwhelming they were. The pork was tiny along with everything else.. I've have had a more girthy portion elsewhere and this one did not hit the spot. When our ramen came out, I thought--"this is it.. this is where I let the food just take me" Upon first sip of that hot delicious broth, I felt like the world had come to peace. It was what I needed in that moment. Aside from being 85% full from the appetizers and the rest of the country celebrating with tacos and guacamole.. this ramen was the best thing at that moment. It was a long yet heroic defeat as I ultimately finished the whole bowl. Chopsticks were thrown, napkins were drenched, but most importantly--stomachs were bursting at the seams. All in all, great dining experience and I would absolutely come back for another Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Has become one of our regular stops now in the area. Everything tastes fresh, and the atmosphere is great. Even if you just come and sit at the bar to eat.

Had to mention again that this place is SO good!! I've been back several times since my first review so I thought it would be nice update. This time no apps just straight to the main course. I had the wonton ramen and my hubby had the spicy tuna poke bowl. I didn't get a pic of his because I was diving into mine! LOL! Flavor of the soup and the ingredients with the fresh noodles are SOO GOOD! Thanks for another great meal!!

Was running a few errands in west Hartford and decided to stop here for ramen. There was a wide variety of options & they all seemed delicious. I went with the Curry Ramen and do not regret it. It has a very slight slight kick to it, but very tasty. If I lived closer to West Hartford I would definitely go here more frequently. The only downside is that there is not much parking & if you're unfamiliar with the area it can be a little confusing.

I took my son here for his 17th birthday. He loves noodles. I drive by this place regularly, but never checked them out. The food is delicious. I ordered a spicy curry noodle bowl with shrimp. I usually buy a bag of Top Ramen from the grocery store for 27 cents. I feel like I cheated myself of the true noodle experience. The bowl I had was FULL of flavor, noodles were cooked perfectly, shrimps were jumbo and the portion was great. I couldn't finish it. The waitress was very kind and attentive. The seating is a bit tight, but it works. I will be returning soon.

Totally cravable. I am trying to expand my dad's culinary world and told him I was taking him for ramen. He doth protest ... No no, I've had ramen. Yeah, you guessed it, the packet kind lol. So I successfully dragged his stubbornness here and successfully converted him. He now asks to come here when he's in the area proclaiming the need for their beef ramen. The braised beef is excellent and flavorful. We went again today and for some reason the beef had chili oil on top. My dad doesn't do well with spicy but the waiter was happy to bring a small bowl with plain beef broth which was the perfect remedy. So strange because upon a subsequent review of the menu, there is a chili next to beef on the menu but today (the 4th time he's had it) it was spicy. So next time we'll just have to make sure to order without chili oil. Easy fix and completely worth it. Other items on the menu I like are the Kaliubon ramen and gomaQ appetizer.

This is my go to ramen place. I've been to both the Wethersfield and west Hartford location and they are pretty much the same. The only difference is in Wethersfield you don't have to pay for parking. The appetizers come out pretty quick which is always nice to take the edge off before your meal. The ramen flavors always pack a punch especially if it's spicy. The beef ramen definitely cleared my sinuses. I love kaliubon because you get great ramen at a decent price.

Jay S.

Yelp
Kaliubon is always a home run. They offer gluten free Poke Bowls as well as GF ramen bowls, so it's always difficult to decide which to order. Service is fast, efficient and friendly. Whenever we visit CT, Kaliubon is a must-do visit at least once.

Anna L.

Yelp
Had the chicken ramen, which comes with a soft egg, seaweed, and topped with fried chicken pieces. The meat was very good and flavorful. The broth was a bit mild tasting and light because it is chicken. Still decent. My boyfriend had the curry ramen and enjoyed his.

Chris H.

Yelp
Delicious place. I had the pork bao, tuna poke bowl and the brussels sprout salad. All were fantastic. Staff was friendly and both courteous and knowledgeable about my dairy/egg intolerance. I sat at the bar and was impressed by the granite countertop and the look of the bar in general. I had assumed the place was takeout only.

Yelp
On a chilly afternoon I was seeking something warm. I decided to try this place and was far from disappointed! Staff greeted me immediately even during lunch hours. I got the beef ramen. It has a little kick to it but it was just enough to warm me without being annoying. My ramen was a special that came with an appetizer for around $20. there were a few to choose from but I got the cucumber salad. It was pretty good. But the ramen was very good. I did have them remove the egg and next time I may also remove the cilantro but I plan to come back to try more very soon.

Ragnar C.

Yelp
Went here for dinner with my wife a few weeks ago and it always lives up to the hype! Ramen time! A great menu to choose from, superb service & I always leave with a full, happy tummy. Always up for returning, especially on those cool or rainy days where I need something to warm my soul. Always recomend this place to friends in search of a great ramen spot and I hope all who are reading this review will give it a try.

Isabel B.

Yelp
Was in town to visit my cousin and we were craving some hot ramen so we decided to stop by. We got the Lamb Bao for a starter and it was delicious. The bao was fully and everything inside was so savory. We also decided to get Boba and it was great. I feel a lot of restaurants that offer boba don't have the best but this boba was amazing! The tapioca was very sweet. Then we got our ramen. I had the beef ramen. The beef was cooked perfectly for me and was super flavorful and just great. You can also add any extras for up charge so if you'd like extra egg or meat you can just ask which I really appreciate. Our waiter was super sweet too! Definitely give this place a try this winter.

Came in to check it out tonight. The place was packed with a steady stream coming and going and a great many take out orders. We decided to try the sweet n spicy wings. They were very good. Plenty of sauce to redip and enjoy. I ordered the Kaliubon Ramen. It had ground pork, cilantro, seasoned egg, fresh noodles in a spicy broth. I enjoyed it very much. My bf got the Tokyo Ramen. He enjoyed his but mentioned that he would have liked it better if the chicken in it were just plain chicken and not dipped and what seemed like fried. I had a mango bubble tea. It was yellow but not much mango flavor. It was still good just needed some more mango. All in all I would recommend checking it out and we will def go back.

Heather W.

Yelp
My husband and I eat here pretty much every week. It's consistently good. I usually get miso ramen, which is always great. They are quick, too, so it's a good place to get lunch on a weekday. It's a little pricey for ramen, but worth it.

Anne S.

Yelp
My family of 4 had an excellent meal and excellent service. It was Sunday night and an hour before their closing, and the appetizers we ordered (fried calamari and Kaliubon dumplings) came relatively quickly and were tasty, as well as the 4 ramen dishes we ordered -- miso ramen, tonkotsu ramen, Kaliubon ramen, and Tokyo chicken ramen. The Kaliubon ramen is spicy and has peanuts in it. The miso ramen was stronger in flavor than the tonkotsu ramen (a tad saltier), and the Tokyo chicken ramen, while very flavorful and tasty, was the "lightest" in flavor. It was all delicious, and we appreciated the speed in which the dishes came. However, we were 1 of 2 occupied tables, so the speed could be due to when we visited and the fact that there weren't many customers. We'll definitely be back.

Tamara G.

Yelp
Kaliubon is my go to spot for ramen when I have a craving. I have been to both the Wethersfield and West Hartford locations. They have some of the best ramen broth I have ever tried. It's consistently delicious broth and delicious toppings. One of my favorite ramen flavors is the Truffle Shoyu Ramen. I could drink that broth forever if given the opportunity. It's so flavorful on its own and when you add the multiple ingredients to it there a flavor bomb is created. Their chashu pork is always always always perfectly cooked. That is also one of the main reasons they are my go to ramen spot. A lot of ramen places give you really fatty minimal meat portions of pork but Kaliubons pork is always a perfect balance and always just cooked really well. I add extra chashu extra seasoned egg and some chili oil to perfect this dish. A must visit place if you love ramen in CT.

Rachel S.

Yelp
I've been here several times and this place is great! Definitely the place to be with the cold weather coming. So stop in for some ramen soup to warm you up. The servers are very friendly and efficient. The food is good. I tried the beef spring rolls for the first time the other day, they came out nice and hot, they also had cream cheese inside, delicious! I usually get the tonkotsu ramen flavor is good, not too salty. They did a fair substitution if you did not want something in the soup. You can also add in whatever you would like with a small extra fee. The beef ramen has a bit of a spicy kick to it so if you like spicy I recommend that one, the meat is nice and tender.

We were in the mood for ramen noodles so a quick check on Yelp found this nice asian restaurant. Walked in right after lunch and were seated right away by the friendly staff. Add you can see in the other files posted pictures, the place is very clean and bright. They had some music going which eased a pleasant surprise as most places just have the sound of everyone talking. Menus were simple and we ordered our ramen. I had recently saw a YouTube video on chopsticks at asian shops and they had mentioned it was rude to rub the chopsticks together as it shows the owners they have low quality chopsticks. Uhoh, I have always thought you were supposed to do that.... the reason I bring this up is because the chopsticks here were very nice. See the pic. Ramen was great, atmosphere was nice, staff were helpful. Could not ask for a better experience.

Jennifer C.

Yelp
I'd say this ramen was pretty good but still can't compare to the ramen in the bigger cities. My bf and I came on a Saturday night right around 7 and the restaurant was pretty busy but we were able to get seated right away. We ordered the brussel sprouts as an app and I got the miso ramen and my bf got the truffle shoyu ramen. The brussel sprouts were deep fried and tasty! The only thing I didn't like was that they were sitting in a pool of sauce. By the time you get to the bottom of the bowl, the brussel sprouts are no longer crispy and then they're overly drenched in sauce. I'd have preferred if it was served on the side to dip in. The miso ramen broth upon initial taste was creamy and had a good miso flavor. However, I felt like the broth lacked depth. It became very one note. The noodles were slightly overcooked for my taste. I remember thinking that the noodles might start falling apart if they sat in the broth too long. The chashu in the ramen also was very meh. It didn't have a strong flavor so it just melded in to the broth and you couldn't really taste it. The corn and green onions in my ramen were a nice addition though. My bf thought his ramen was ok but would have preferred a creamier broth but I believe the shoyu broth is usually a lighter broth anyways.

Living in Rocky Hill, I've heard about this place consistently since it first opened. I've been meaning to visit but the time was never right. This past weekend I suggested a girls night out and we decided on dinner at Kaliubon. It was all of our first time and it was just as good as we heard! First off, the location is kind of hidden away off the Silas Deane. But the inside is gorgeous. Such a great vibe. Open kitchen and full bar as well. We started with the garlic edamame and let me just say, if you see a seasoned edamame on a menu...GET IT. This was so good. We could have easily eaten several more bowls! I ordered the Kaliubon Ramen which was a traditional spicy pork ramen. Very good! Wish it was a little more spicy though. My friends both ordered the chicken ramen which they loved. I think I want to try that next but ask for it spicy! Definitely coming back a few times while the weather is nice and chilly.

Karen L.

I was super impressed with Kaliubon, it's a shame it took me almost 2 years to discover this place! I'd say it has been the best ramen I've had in Connecticut. They have a large variety of menu items, and are also constantly rotating new things onto their menu (sometimes seasonally). So before visiting, peruse different yelp posts to see if they might have some off menu items! I ordered the truffle shoyu ramen which had a great broth; the kind that you'd want to slurp up after finishing your noodles. The meat was cooked well and had nice lean meat as well as fatty. The next time I visit, it's going to be hard to convince myself to try something different just because the truffle was SO good. If you're going for bubble tea, I was unfortunately not that impressed with my mango milk tea, and I tried my friend's thai tea and that was too sweet for me. We ordered a few appetizers for the table: - dumplings were ok, presentation was definitely beautiful but taste wise it wasn't that memorable and the wrapper could have been less stiff. - crab baos: we ordered off menu based on what we saw on yelp beforehand, these were so unique and also delicious! - spring rolls: the sauce they used on top was creamy and a good touch, I was surprised with the cream cheese in the filling. I was a fan though Also got some desserts: - green tea creme brulee: never tried anything like this before! The green tea was definitely there, and the cook on top was perfect. Try it out if you're in the mood for something different - mango passionfruit ice cream bon bon (don't remember exact menu name but it's something like that): passion fruit was very strong, and presentation of both desserts were A+. This was a nice and refreshing dessert. All in all, great place for some ramen, to bring a group to, or to go with your family. Definitely check them out when you get a chance!

I ordered the beef ramen and the beef they used was clearly pre cooked, cold to the touch, and it was hard and has definitely been cooked multiple times. I returned it because it just wasn't what I was used to whenever I come here. Also the wings were $10 for 4 of them...I know we're on some chicken shortage but that's a lot lol. The service was very good tho

Hariel F.

Never had a bad experience here the food is delicious and the service is amazing. All the ramen is great, appetizers always hit the spot. The soft shell crab bao is one of my favorites. I recently went and tired a special they had with A5 waygu beef and oh my was it delectable. Recommend this place to anyone that speaks ramen 10/10

I've been to the WeHa location and we finally made a stop here. Plenty of tables available for a late lunch, service was friendly and efficient. They were busy with plenty of takeout orders coming in! Ordering at the table is easy with a QR code. We had dumplings, goma Q, curry Ramen and kaliubon Ramen. As in WeHa, flavors are exceptional, portions are on point and the prices are very reasonable. Will return!

Service is good, fast and punctual. Ramen is good too, just don't recommend crab boas. Quiet area, clean environment

Heck yes. This might be the best ramen place in the Hartford area. The broth on the Tonkatsu was rich and a deep pork flavor to it. A nice bit of fatty without too much gloss. The pork was also quality. The egg was just right. Hey, if you want to play with the big boy ramen places, which it clearly does, I'm going to hold you to a high standard. I should've added some nori but it was plenty filling. I didn't try the miso version as it had a seafood base and You have to add a spicy option if you want it. Overall, it is definitely some of the better ramen Ive had in central CT. The lamb bao was outstanding. It had some minced jalapeño in it that gave it a subtle but distinct burn. I wish I had ordered two. Really loved it. But Service was great, decor is modern, and the owner is clearly in to something. Can't wait to come back again and again!

I'm not usually a picky eater, but I wanted to give new places that I haven't tried before a chance, but the food wasn't the best for me. I have ordered the ramen noodles, and I've had my fair share of noodles, it was hard, even in soup, and so I thought that leaving them in the soup a little longer would soften it up, nope ... still Tried it again, and it was still hard, even though I was still hungry, I paid my bill and left. Nonetheless, the servers there was courteous and helpful when asked about what was good on the menu.

Best Ramen period. I enjoy everything on the menu. Beef spring rolls and dumplings are amazing.

My bf and I can't get enough of this place. The Ramen was amazing. The Poke bowls are so fresh and clean. The apps are a must as well. We love the angry wontons the most.
