We were excited to see the new ramen place open, and we got to try it for the first time today. Loved it! The ramen broth was delicious and so warm! The pork belly was pretty good, and I got spice added on the side. I would recommend the tonkotsu ramen. You order up at the front, sit at a table and they bring the food to you. Refill your own drinks. Update: Went back today and the food was meh. The tonkatsu ramen was so bland and the pork was the color of roast beef but tougher. 50$ for to bland ramen bowls with inedible meat, a drink, and some sad gyoza. When we first came the food was delicious but now it's just mediocre. Maybe next time it will be better but 50$ leaving hungry and unsatisfied is shameful.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Delicious and authentic ramen in a comfortable atmosphere. One of the best ramen shops we have tried! The staff was friendly and the service was excellent.
