Exceptional Japanese fare w/ standout ramen & inventive appetizers. A must-try for sake lovers & those seeking unique flavors.
This Japanese eatery offers a diverse menu with a strong emphasis on ramen, complemented by a selection of sake. While many praise the quality of their ramen and other Japanese dishes, some suggest exploring their appetizer options for an equally satisfying experience. The ambiance is often described as good, making it a notable spot for a flavorful meal.
The restaurant is primarily known for its ramen, with the tonkotsu ramen receiving praise for its good flavor. However, one reviewer found the tantanmen to have an unappetizing, thick consistency. Appetizers like the soft shell crab and duck buns are frequently recommended as exceptional. The pork slices in the ramen are noted as delicious but small, suggesting adding extra. Vegan ramen options are also available.
