We walked passed and found the outside very inviting and decided to try it for lunch time. I had Anchovy Ramen, and my fiancé had the chicken clam ramen. Both were very tasty with good flavour. We both would recommend to try the anchovy Ramen. It had a rich, but still light seafood flavour that matched really well with the Ramen, pork and egg. We also shared one pork donburi, that was very tasty. It is alot of food so sharing that was a good idea. If you are really hungry it would be good to have the set alone. Lunch time was not too busy, we did not wait long to get a spot. Maybe dinner there would be a longer wait. Staff was really nice and explained well to my fiancé (korean), servers also seam to speak Japanese, and there is English written on the note on the table explaining recommended way to enjoy the food. All inn all, a really good place we are happy we stopped by.

Went there twice during our trip because we liked it so much. It's a cozy ramen shop that specializes in seafood based ramen. You'll see a good mix of locals and foreigners dining here. All bowls come with homemade noodles, slices of chashu pork and an egg. The egg is medium hard boiled instead of the usual jammy egg, but I prefer it more cooked anyway. They have limited quantities of the crab/clam ramen at lunch and dinner so try to get in as soon as they open if that's what you want. We used the virtual waitlist on the CATCHTABLE site and snagged the 3rd spot in line about an hour before they opened. I tried the crab & clam combo the first visit and then the clam one the second visit, and I think I prefer the clam one more. My kids had the anchovy one and loved it. The chashu rice bowls were a highlight too. Basically there isn't a bad thing on the menu. The chef is quite nice and was very welcoming. Although the shop is small, kids are welcome here and they have 3 rectangular tables that can fit 2-4 ppl per table in addition to the bar top seating.

We were able to get a bowl of the famous crab ramen. It was just as good as anticipated—a delicate crab flavor overwhelmed our senses. After finishing every drop, we ate the pork donburi which was equally amazing.

I was lucky to try their signature clam and crab ramen and it completely blew me away. The broth was clean, refreshing, yet packed with a deep richness, which is very different from tonkotsu pork based ramen that I’m used to. The presentation of the ramen was pefect and their thinnly sliced chashu was amazing! I regret not adding more chashu. The noodles were cooked perfectly and crab was loaded with generous amount of meat and eggs. Every bite was bursting with umami flavor. Overall, this dish was truly a masterpiece and I am glad I was able to have the opportunity to taste it. I’d definitely recommend it to everyone, but be sure to make a reservation beforehand!

It was a pity that by the time our queue number was called, their popular crab & clam ramen is already sold out. Thus, the hubs ordered the clam ramen with mini clam don. My boy ordered a clam ramen only. As for me, I got myself a clear anchovy ramen. The mini clam don comes with an onsen egg on top. You mix the onsen egg with the clams and rice, giving you a balanced taste or all items blend together. By the hubs is just not a fan of onsen egg🤷‍♀️. The clam ramen is similar to that of the crab & clam ramen, just without the crab. Still very delicious with slices of chashu and clams. But I've got to say, the best dish of all these is the clear anchovy ramen. The clean and unassuming umami anchovy soup base allows you to taste all the goodness. Highly recommend that you try their ramen over the donburi. If you can get your hands on the crab & clam ramen, that should be your 1st choice, otherwise the clear anchovy ramen should be next.

Got the clam ramen and the pork rice bowl (crabs were gone sadly). A bit different than any ramen I’ve ever had because of the clams, but the broth was still so rich and so good. Meat and noodles were amazing too, would definitely come here again! Bonus points for playing Laufey (!)

Limited seat but noodle was really good.
