I came with my partner for noodles on a cold Saturday for lunch while visiting Baltimore. We were not disappointed! Although the area looks a bit sketchy, the inside of the restaurant is trendy with a slight retro feel. We were seated immediately and told that since it was happy hour the prices were a bit cheaper. While taking our order the server asked for dietary restrictions and allergies, a good sign at any restaurant that they care about your food. I got the mushroom shio vegan ramen and my partner got the truffle chicken shoyu ramen. Despite the description saying the mushroom shio had tofu, there didn’t appear to be any. Despite that, the dish was filling enough with its shiitake mushrooms, various types of seaweed, and surprisingly hearty broth. I was a little apprehensive at kale as a topping but it took up the broth well and was delicious. 10/10. If I had to give a criticism it would be that the broth didn’t come out piping hot; usually I enjoy the first few sips of searing hot liquid and I couldn’t get that here. My partner said he enjoyed his chicken shoyu ramen but would’ve liked it a bit saltier. With tip we ended up paying around $24/person, a little more than I’d like to pay for lunch, but these days restaurant prices tend to be high. I would recommend this place if you’re in the area!
Food, service, and ambiance are all 5-star! So glad I can come here whenever I have a ramen craving. Tonight my friend and I both got the Tokyo Curry Ramen. It was so flavorful and satisfying. I also had the Mango and Passion Pavlova for dessert; thanks to George, I was able to snatch the last one for the evening! This place is a bit of a drive for me, but worth it! Hope to be back at least once a month, probably more often during this winter. :)
Very trendy Ramen spot! I really enjoyed the open kitchen concept and rotating ski boards on the ceiling. This is definitely a place that I would visit again for vegetarian or vegan ramen as well as sake. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.
Very cool little ramen place. The staff is very friendly and interesting to talk to. The decor is very cool. And of course the food is delicious. Their tonkotsu ramen is pretty unique, with a fresh and light element to it that makes it stand out. It's not a standard ramen that you'd get in Japan, but that's not a bad thing. This restaurant has a lot of options for people with dietary restrictions. The gluten free noodles are very good. The staff is very aware of dietary restrictions, and can answer any questions you might have.
We were here for a yelp event, but I saw that they served ramen so we had to order some. It was quite delicious. The egg, which I know is a very important component to many ramen lover's experience, was soft boiled and added that certain creamy richness that it is supposed to provide. The tempura battered shrimp (appetizer) were huge and fresh. I would certainly take my friends here. Be forewarned, the restaurant is in a shady neighborhood. Don't be afraid. It's worth the adventure.
