★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Cute cozy, spot in RVC if you're in the mood for some yummy ramen or bowls including poke. Lots of tasty choices and they have a lunch special plus free noodle refills for dine-in customers. Staff are friendly, helpful, attentive & quick with service. The restaurant is clean, well kept and cheery. Good spot for quick bite in you're in the neighborhood.
August 07 · MAJ PCGreat little ramen spot. Two of us enjoyed our spicy tonkotsu. Plenty filling for a lunch but did see signs for free noodle refills in case. There's even a food challenge if you're up for it!
September 07 · Steph CouvretteI'd highly recommend the Shoyu Ramen. The flavor of the broth alone is amazing, and a side of iced green tea is very refreshing. Incredible quality for a reasonable price couldn't recommend enough.
May 07 · Ararad ManougianExcellent vibe as soon as you walk in, although just a bit chilly. There were a couple of space heaters dispersed that provided some comfort, but it didn't help that it felt like 20 degrees outside and slightly chilly every time the door opened.Beyond that... great service, smiling servers, delicious food, served quickly, and exceeded expectations on flavors.The shrimp shumai was Excellent!! My friend recommended this spot and loves their Ramen with bok choy. The bathroom 🚻 is surprisingly large & super clean. Overall, #GoodEats #theresthatfoodie #LocalGem
December 13 · Phillip Anthony GornailThe chicken shoyu ramen was okay. The broth tasted clean but it lacked flavor. The tonkotsu ramen was good. The noodles soaked up the flavor of the ramen and paired well with the chicken karage. The service wasn’t the best. The best part was the mochi ice cream. Overall it’s a good place to experience with your young children as their menu caters to their palate.
