dope - the ramen soup with the egg is so dope. i could drink that broth all day...
At the Izakaya upstairs: get the chawanmushi and the mentaiko!
Shio or shiyo won't disappoint. As long as you get da spice bomb. Boom.
Great veggie options. Real quality ramen and great atmosphere.
Shio ramen is my favorite. Perfect broth. Not too salty.
Robert WAugust 4, 2013Pass on the brunch menu, but definitely try the yuzu-lemonade. You will not regret it.
The house sake is mediocre. Step it up while you are here and try the "Drunken Whale" (Suigei Tokubetsu)
ishan kapoorApril 19, 2014Considering the long wait times, it is definitely once in a lifetime experience ;^)
Hao HuangMarch 11, 2016A fast food type of ramen, overrated for its star and price. Only good for a quick bite
Grilled avocado and chawanmushi. Chili Cucumber if you're in the mood. Seared enoki mushrooms are overpriced.
- Kristen PeiranoNovember 18, 2014Skip the ramen and go upstairs ! Ramen had little to no flavor. Vegetable ramen is what I ordered and it was not impressive. My husband got the spicy miso and it's just spice no flavor profiles
Rachel P.April 24, 2013The ramen is okay. If you're a hardcore ramen eater who eats authentic ramen, you might be disappointed.
Not bad. Good noodles. Broth leaves you thirsty all night because of sodium. LOVE the egg.

"Dan-dan noodles and soup dumplings are great! Fish filet married chili is also great! All very traditional dishes and not American Chinese food."
