me and my family came here since the line to mitsuwa was too long. don't be fooled by the modern store front; the ramen here tastes incredible and authentic, so much better than mitsuwa. absolutely no regrets about changing lunch locations.
i got their signature "slurpin' ramen", which is a tonkotsu ramen with black garlic oil drizzled on top. the broth wasn't oily at all (except for the added garlic oil, but it didn't feel oily) and packed INSANELY delicous pork and garlic flavour while being super creamy! the noodles were pleasantly chewy with a nice spring to them, and were a good serving size for one. they also offer spice levels going up to level 4; the level 1 spice had a kick, so don't get it if you have a low spice tolerance.
customer service was also very good. we were seated immediately, and the server was very nice. i didn't catch his name unfortunately. the food came out quickly, which was a big bonus!
overall, 10/10 ramen place. this is my new favourite for tonkotsu ever, and my standards for ramen are high. cannot recommend this...

The base price ramens don’t offer much in terms of substance, and if you’re thinking of getting the small, hope you didn’t have much of an appetite. $14 gets you a handful of noodles in broth and if you’re lucky, 2 small slices of meat. Yikes! Want an egg with that? It’s now a $16 bowl. What you do get is good but not worth the price.
The atmosphere is terrible. It’s cramped and uncomfortable with elbow to elbow seating on cheap barstools. The noise is so loud, and made louder with everyone shouting to be heard over the blasting music. It’s ear-ringing.
The service is quick and responsive with a high level of attentiveness. Sadly it’s not enough to elevate the food to new heights. Get your stomach filled for the same...
