    Get the U & I (uni app), tebasaki, and the moo ramen! All excellent tastes!

    You should definitely get the U & I, tonkotsu ramen with seasoned egg, and the pancake!

    Both the Mu and the Tonkatsu have really good broths. I personally like the Mu more for its brisket

    Okonomiyaki - the sweetness of the scallion pancakes go well with the smoked trout

    Phenomenal flavors. Soup broths weren't overly salty and my Mu Ramen had incredible bone-y flavor with just the right amount of toppings.

    Place is small and cozy, and service is good. I can see why some people see them as a contender to Ippudo. Personally I liked their noodles better because they did not taste overly salty!

    If they have it, the Mu Ichiban is the way to go. Slightly smokier than the Tonkotsu, it's delicious

    A little disappointed that the namesake Mu Ramen wasn't on the menu on my visit, but the miso ramen was as good as any that I've had in the city.

    Try to come 10 minutes before opening to make sure you get a spot in the first seating. (~5:20)

    You will have to wait for a seat and your joints will hurt the next day but the ramen is worth it.

    Their Tonkotsu 2.0 is phenomenal (though very similar to Ippudo's tonkotsu).

    Pretty solid tonkotsu ramen; it might have a slight edge over Ippudo's.
