"We came very close to closing and they were kind enough to still take our order! Super easy to order and food came quick. We ordered the tonkotsu shoyu and it was great! Very flavorful and delicious. Will be back!"
Spicy Miso Ramen
"Finally found my ramen place! Loved the spicy miso but would make it a little spicier myself. The atmosphere was stylish inside, but since it was food court style I only gave it 4."
