Review

What Customers Say

"It was surprising. Never expected a ramen store could have this much portions. When we seeing the meat we were like wow we definitely come next time. It’s quite special taking the spicy garlic soup base as it did contain a lot of garlics. Can’t say the best noodles but quite satisfying. Place is small and squeezed but the server is sweet and nice."

Yongqi Yu

"Much more than it looks like from the outside: An almost tiny ramen place with the best bowls I had in town. An amazing elaborate process of cooking you can witness, its fresh and tasty and a lot of food you get. I come for years and it’s always the same quality. No extra charge for egg or seaweed to the vegetarian version I prefer and I had to pay at other places. Enjoy!"

Detlef Soennichsen

"Japanese restaurant that instantly makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a traditional street-side eatery in Japan. The open kitchen lets you watch as they prepare the ramen and all its toppings right in front of you and the Ramen is so delicious and flavourful. The staff is very attentive and friendly, and they even have a ramen happy hour! I tried a bit of everything and would definitely come back—highly recommended."

Anita Agunanna

"Service here was great server was very nice and knowledgeable about getting us the right order. Really loved the broth it had just the right amount of richness without being too much. Chashu was delicious and so was the egg. Would come back if I were in town again!"
