"This place is tucked away just infront of the railway tracks of Lincoln road. The ramen was incredible value at $12.80 I had low expectations but it was actually really good! The broth was tasty, perfect chewy noodle texture, tasty pork. With my tonkatsu ramen. Even with a extra egg added ($2) it was still under $15. The staff was really welcoming a friendly, support a small business and get yourself a delicious, affordable ramen."

"I went to this Japanese restaurant — it didn’t feel fully authentic, but it was decent. The prices were very cheap, and the portions were generous. It’s close to where I live, so I’ll probably go back for a quick Japanese night."

"Only thing that was disappointing was that more people weren't inside enjoying the awesome food. Prices were outstanding and had me expecting shrinkflation-sized portions, but for less than $30 I had a feast. I suggest you get a signwriter to make the place stand out!"
