Place is very small, only seats maybe 12 people but definitely worth taking out if you can’t find a place to sit. We sat down and within ten minutes had our food. My bf has the tonkotsu ramen and I had the chicken Teriyaki. At first I almost asked for more sauce but once I got under all the veggies, it was the perfect amount. It was a really large serving and very delicious. I forgot to take a photo at first but after eating I knew I had to leave a review. The ramen he said was also really good. Looking forward to being back soon.

Highly recommended as a local favorite for ramen. The noodles tasted fresh and the texture was perfect. Broth was hearty without being too salty. If you like lighter flavors and fatty meat, you’ll really enjoy their tonkotsu ramen. Give it a try sometime! Appetizers were quite tasty as well. The location is tiny so call ahead if you have a bigger party so they can reserve some seating for you.

That’s why it’s 4.6! Very authentic ramen and the pork belly is home made in a big piece! Portion and taste both are great! I think they shouldn’t call their restaurant “Express”, this is absolutely the quality of decent Japanese cusine more than an Express take out restaurant can do! Glad I found this place, will be back order soon!

Very small place looks like it can only seat about 10 people comfortably the appetizers ordered were good the ramen was a bit lacking which is why 4stars is the max I could give this place definitely wouldn’t put this on a list of places to try but if you have a craving for ramen at a Low price this will do

Great Food. They give you a good portion for the price. The quality is nice too. The tonkatsu ramen is very good as well as the Tom Yum shrimp. The karaage was delicious as well. Very crunchy and delicious. I will definitely be returning. The oooonly downside is the small seating. You might have to wait but it is worth it.

I came here with some friends because we always end up at ramen shops whenever we travel and it has become a tradition. The food here was amazing and comparable to strings ramen in Chicago. The restaurant is Japanese themed and styled. The shop is very tiny and because our group of 4 we were forced to eat in a japanese traditional style of sitting on a floor at a table. We also had to remove our shoes to sit and place them under the stage like floor we sat on. It was a fairly pleasant experience and the staff was very respectful. It is definitly a place i would consider again when i come back to Cincinnati.
