    Got the Shoyu aka #2 with the pork belly, it was pretty salty but the Coke evened it out nicely. Other than the saltiness it was delicious! Gyoza was also tasty. We'll most likely return

    You have to start out with one of the buns, so soft and tasty. Main course is ramen and you can't go wrong with any of the options. Eat fast and slurp away!

    I ordered the Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was super flavorful with no extra spice added. The meat was incredibly tender as well. Nice outdoor patio too!

    The hot chicken bun is straight from heaven. Pork and mushroom ramen are both top notch. Great Japanese cocktails.

    Loved the hot chicken ramen. Can't wait to try something else. Glad we have ramen in town. Now we just need it at farmers market at lunch.

    Great food with friendly and helpful employees. You'll be a true fan if you like the minimalist style and relaxing atmosphere.

    Hot chicken buns are a nice starter. Not exceptionally hot, but decent flavor and tasty.

    Decent ramen–pricey at $12. Get extra noodles for a few extra bucks to double your noodles. I prefer a thicker noodle, like the kind at Japanese Market.

    I'm not a fan of this place. I got the Shoyu and it tasted more fishy than pork - which it was supposed to be. Super salty. Add chili oil to help it out. Two Ten Jack in East Nashville is better.

    Try the Assari shio ramen, it's amazing.

    If you plan to drink a Hitachino draft be ready for a $12 bill for a small beer - scandalously overpriced
