What diners are saying
Diners rave about this South Slope gem as a reliable "godsend" for authentic, high-quality ramen. Reviewers highlight the rich, gelatinous bone broth and perfectly textured noodles, with standout dishes including the unique birria ramen, tender pork belly, and nostalgic chahan (fried rice). While the atmosphere is described as "no-frills" and perhaps better for casual dining or takeout than dates, guests consistently praise the friendly, attentive service and generous portions. Whether dining in or reheating leftovers, customers agree the soup is "legit," comforting, and flavor-packed.
