The food was incredible. I ordered the red ramen, and when I first got it, it tasted a bit spicy, but I quickly got used to the flavor and ended up loving it. It comes with one egg and a slice of pork, and everything was really well flavored. I went on a Thursday for their deal, which ends at 4 o’clock, so you have to arrive before then to get the ramen at half price. The atmosphere is bright and vibrant, and the energy is amazing. The service was great, but they will not seat you unless your entire party is present, so make sure everyone arrives together.

First time being here. So happy I stopped in for lunch. This Izakaya is fantastic for shareable and drinks. The daily half priced lunchtime ramen is amazingly good. Hand pulled noodles and great broth. The place is packed with people now. Waiter told me the owners ran Ramen Misoya downtown but sold it and now just focus on this place. 2 Chefs are trained in authentic Japanese Ramen soup n Japan. Takoyaki was creamy and piping hot. Yum! I’m going back here for sure!

Seriously, $5 Ramen lunch specials. You order and eat and they boot you out. It’s awesome. I went there with my kids and we each ordered a ramen (2 for me) and it was super delicious. The Black, the Red, and the Goma. I liked the Red the best as it had a nice twang to it. 4 bowls of Ramen for $20. Okay I felt bad and ordered Chicken karaage. Totally fell for their marketing genius. Still, for a ramen lunch for 3 and includes chicken karaage and tips for $36. Damn good deal. And I don’t like loitering and appreciate that they need to feed the next customers. I’ll definitely be back. Forget that, I’ll see you next week.

I was honestly amazed! This is the best salmon roll called Aburi on the menu and ramen I’ve ever tasted. 🥹😍 The ramen was also the most affordable I’ve had, and I can’t wait to try their Miso Ramen next. Everything was perfect. My only suggestion would be to add just a little salt and pepper to the Chicken Karaage, but overall it was soft, crispy on the outside, and so delicious. The customer service was also excellent, especially to the guy Filipino staff member. My partner and I will definitely be visiting again! ☺️
