Always love coming to this cute little bustling place. Menu is simple and pleasing and they always have a full house especially on weekend night. I got the karaage and special chef challenge vegan menu item that was a gypsy pepper that was beyond incredible and was shocked about how good and addictive it tasted. Hope to see it on the menu again in the future.

The ramen here is fantastic. The tonkutsu and the shoyu are really good, and although the portions are not magnificent- it's decent. The karaage- friend chicken appetizer is really good- goes quite well with the mayo sauce. The shoyu was excellent- the ramen noodles perfect and the egg was really good. Inside, there is plenty of seating. It's overall pretty quiet although it does get a little warm inside and it's goes for more a dark/ambient feel. They would show International soccer (EPL/La Liga) events on the big screen so that's nice if you like sports and want to catch something around lunch time.

Food: The food here is very tasty and has a great punch of flavor. The quality is great and cooked as it should be. I got the Tonkatsu and it did not disappoint. The beef meat and flavor was the best I've had. It had a nice crisp and was well seasoned. The brother however, was a big salty to my liking and for the others I was with. Service: The service was great. We were greeted the moment we arrived and asked if we'd like to be seated. We were constantly getting refills and asked if anything else was needed. Atmosphere: Upon entering in, there is artwork along the walls as you make your way downstairs. It is more of a darker area but as you enter the actual restaurant, it is a bit brighter (which I prefer). If was very clean and looked like it got a recent facelift. If was perfect vibes for an authentic ramen restaurant. I'd definitely come back again.
