The queue is always long and we waited for 40 mins to get into the restaurant. Food was tasty and the pork broth was thick and flavorful. Definitely worth the queue and wait. Will definitely return for another bowl when we return in 2025
Went there on a cold night around 10:45PM. Lined up to approximately 15mins waiting time. This shop is open until 3am but still the line is long. QR menu is already provided while lining up. Love the gyoza. It's hot and just the right amount of meat and veggie. nothing is overpowering. Ramen noodles were thin but heavy. Chasu was tender but not too tasty. The broth was standard but wish I had seen the ramen sauce earlier to add more flavor. My dad loved it since it was not too salty nor too bland. We just have to eat faster than our usual phasing since many people are still in line waiting to be seated and the restaurant is too small to take all of us. My dad had to finish the beer faster since we were already done eating.
What a great ramen restaurant! A long wait, but it's worth it! Their fried rice is also great:) we went the restaurant before opening. But there was already a log queue!
The place is small but their service is fast. So don’t get scared with long lines. It does not take that long to experience and taste their food.
