Review

The broth arrived steaming hot, which made the first sip especially satisfying. It was rich and very creamy while still feeling light. The noodles were a familiar ramen style, cooked on the softer side, with a natural tenderness rather than a particularly firm or springy bite.

The chashu was nicely seared, well seasoned, and tender. The seasoned egg was delicious too, with a pronounced garlic flavor. Green onion, bean sprouts, and nori rounded out the bowl, and I liked the simple combination of toppings. The broth came with a small ladle instead of a standard ramen spoon, which I found a little awkward to use.

The restaurant was relatively small, with counter seating where you could watch the ramen being prepared right in front of you. It had the feel of a dedicated ramen shop. It was not crowded during my visit, and the ramen arrived quickly, both of which made the experience more pleasant.

At $12.50, this felt less expensive than a typical bowl of ramen and offered good value. The creamy broth, satisfying heat, and flavorful toppings made it a very enjoyable meal. I would like to return and try the other ramen.
