Okay, please stop commenting on the “authenticity” of ramen. Ramen is a relatively new form of food incorporated into Japanese cuisine so there’s bit of a wiggling room too it, and if you go to Japan each ramen shop would be doing something of their own. It’s unfair for the restaurant to get a 2 or 1 star review just because it’s different from that one bowl of noodles you had in Japan or New York or wherever. As for the food here, ramen’s perfectly reasonable, nice mouth feel (NOT undercooked) and the soup compliments the noodles well. I see that they’re going for a ‘lighter’ interpretation of ramen, and I’m perfectly alright with it. Also had bbq donburi on the side, which was delicious and the rice was very well cooked - they probably rinsed the heck out of the rice before cooking it. Is this the best bowl of ramen ever existed? Probably not. Is it a proper ramen experience, even if it’s different from some places I’ve been to? Absolutely yes. Take my money any time

I’ve been wanting to try this Ramen place for a while and I was pretty surprised with how many options they had! I ordered the Tantanmen and it was pretty good! I liked how there was bean sprouts and the iconic swirly fishcake and of course bok choy. The only thing I would say tho is I felt like the broth was a little too salty. But overall it’s a pretty good ramen. I also ordered the shrimp tempura, which was really yummy too! I would come back to try their Black Garlic Ramen.
