Be prepared to wait for awhile. I waited about an hour before getting seated, because there were no tables available and it was just that popular. But the wait was 100% worth it! After getting seated and putting our orders in, everything came out pretty quickly and it was amazing! One of the best ramen I've had, and the appetizers were delicious as well. I would love to come back here.
DO NOT ORDER SPICY LEVEL 3!!!! i absolutely adore spicy food and my bf and i are both known to have incredibly high spice tolerances amongst our friends and family, but level 3 spicy was NOT it. i got the miso chicken ramen and made it spice level 3 (the max) and substituted the medium noodle for thin noodle. the dish was very good, but the spice was just too much. it's a lingering spice that no matter how much water you drink, you suffer. i didn't get to finish my food bc it ended up just being un enjoyable. it would've been perfect as a level 2. parking in china town can be a little tricky and i wouldn't recommend going on a weekend, but i would love to come back to this place and give it another go with a level 2 spice.
Amazing ramen. I don't really know what else to say except wow. Service was fast and the food came out decently timed as well. It was a very nice dinner date for my girlfriend and I. I would love to come back here.
Did a catering order for my team and they packaged it so nicely! Everything was labeled and looked super fresh. The ramen was pretty good and the team really enjoyed it. Would recommend trying them out.
Good flavor for the broth and noodles were cooked well. Tofu is super hot so be careful to wait a little for it to cool or you'll burn your tongue. The salty dashi paired well with the fried tofu. Wish there was more spicy sauce on the tofu. I wasn't a fan of the crab croquette since there was no crab taste with the fake crab meat.
Raini day in chitown Time for spicy ramen, gomae and crab croquets Always delicious Thank you see you next time
I was in the mood for Ramen yesterday so I had to check this place out in Chinatown - We ordered the following items: - Curry Karaage Don - Tokyo Shoyu Ramen w/ Rice - Lemonade The Ramen was good and the lemonade was fresh & cold! Great Customer service from the team and the restaurant has a nice clean ambiance well suited to cater to many guests at once. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the mood for some good ramen.
Prepare for a wait!! There was a line out the door, and I heard it's usually worse. We came on a Sunday around 5pm and were seated after a 10-15 min wait. This is a small store with mostly 4-seater tables. I got the karaage curry ramen, and we shared Berkshire pork belly buns. The buns were actually the best fusion buns I've had in my entire life!! The pork belly was so soft and tender, the scallions were a nice addition/crunch, and the creamy tangy sauce (similar to elevated yum yum sauce) was addicting. The karaage ramen was huge! The broth could've used more curry flavor, but the chicken was well seasoned and coated thinly. Ramen noodles were al dente and the slightly squiggly kind.
There's usually a line out the door but we got lucky with getting a table right away. We all got the traditional tonkotsu but different levels of spice. I got level 3 and it was perfect for me. I love spicy food but think 3 would've been super spicy. Broth was so creamy and so flavorful and portions were generous
