“ Food has good flavor. If you are unfamiliar with the words used on the menu I would suggest looking up the menu ahead of time. They have explanations for some of the ingredients. The restaurant is order first then sit down so if you don’t know what you are ordering you may feel rushed standing in line. Plenty of seating and clean. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. ”
“ The food was not evenly heated. The pork wasn't great but the rest of the bowl was tasty ”
“ Ramen tastes very good, very quiet and cozy place. Great quantity of food for reasonable price. Definitely going to come back! ”
“ This is a great place to eat ramen. They have about five panels of menu items to choose from up above the register area. The place is pretty chill most of the time. The parking is limited so keep that in mind if you have any large groups. If you get ramen, it's a pretty big helping so be prepared to ask for a to-go container at the end of the meal. ”
“ Food came out reasonably fast, even though we had 4 entrees and 3 appetizers and there was another party that came at the same time as us. The person taking our order was very patient and kind. Gyoza bowl was the hot and spicy chicken cup, very good balance of not too spicy and not too creamy with a bed of lettuce and rice and two gyoza to top it. Orange ramen bowl was the Orochon "Brave", lighter ramen bowl was the Hakata Modern, and rice entree the chicken curry katsu. Appetizers were takoyaki, chicken karaage, and calamari. The surface of the table we sat at was quite sticky, but there were a handful of seating options in the front and back of store ”
