The best ramen of my life! I had to sign up and wait for about an hour, but it was absolutely worth it. While waiting, we grabbed a beer at one of the bars nearby, which made the time fly by. We ordered the chicken karaage and the spice tonkotsu to share, and honestly, it was the best ramen in the world — the broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles perfectly cooked, and everything was beautifully balanced. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would come back a thousand times!

If you see people waiting in line, be sure to check in at the counter first. Today I ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, which uses their house-made chili paste. The chashu had a perfect balance of lean and fat—I really don’t like it when there’s too much fat. The broth, the heart of the bowl, had a rich, slightly sticky texture that made it absolutely perfect! The ramen had great layers of flavor: the first sip gave me the pure tonkotsu taste, while the saltiness revealed itself more in the mid-to-lower notes. Don’t miss the karaage either—the chicken was tender and juicy! Since it’s seasoned well, it tasted delicious even without dipping sauce. Definitely a place I’ll revisit. I hope they come out with a limited-edition ramen someday!
