One of the best ramens I’ve had, and totally worth the queues.
Traditional Sapporo ramen noodles - thicker, springy and chewy, and wavy yellow egg noodles. Perfect chew and holds on to the rich broth well.
The special traditional miso ramen uses a rich pork broth, which somehow manages an insanely layered and balanced symphony of flavours - deep umami, sweet bitterness and slight spiced.
The rich miso ramen uses a white chicken stock and encapsulates the best of traditional Sapporo miso ramen. Clearer, sweeter profiles of aka miso I’m guessing, and slightly less greasy than the former, equally satisfying.

We arrived at supposedly the busiest time, around 10pm. We waited about 10 minutes. They pulled out some extra seats for us to wait outside.
The ramen was to die for. I ordered the thick miso ramen and my friend ordered normal Sapporo miso. Both were full of flavor and a true pleasure to indulge in. The cha shu is also very good. Highly...
