They're fast, efficient and friendly. You order before you sit down which keeps tables moving, but without feeling pushy. The ramen is first rate and be sure to get the marinated cucumbers to start!
I think this could be my favorite ramen in Boston. The shioramen I had was rich yet subtle and not too salty. The beer selection is also locally sourced and nice, if you like hops.
The gankara ramen was perfectly spicy and delicious ($14). The restaurant is located in the arcade and has indoor seating during covid. I kept my mask on until the food was served
So good! There's almost always a wait, but they're very efficient. They take your order ~10 minutes before they think your table will be ready, so you sit down and the food is there right away.
I think it used to be quite flavorful. Now it doesn’t seem to be as good as Santouka, a really low bar. And a Japanese friend told me she was also very disappointed by the popup.
