Authentic Japanese Ramen with more protein and veggies than other places but less expensive. My husband, who is a Japanese living in Bay Area for 25 years, thinks this is the best Ramen in the area. The meats are flavorful, soft, and juicy. The soup has complexity and not overly salty.

Good for a quick lunch. The Japanese lady serving us was very kind and patient. I had to build my own ramen due to my diet restrictions, and she was very patient in taking my order.

This might be the best ramen I’ve had in the bay. The tonkotsu broth is incredibly rich and creamy, bursting with deep pork flavor. The spicy tonkotsu was similarly flavorful, but the pork flavor gets masked a little bit. The thin noodles were just the right texture as well, being a perfect vehicle for the delicious broth. To top it all off, service was great and the wait was only 15 min on a Saturday afternoon.

First thing I noticed was how well prepared the meat is here. All meats. The karage was excellent. The cha shu also excellent. And the pork butt was excellent. Even the egg was excellent. The broth was good. The noodles were the right texture and soft. The tonkatsu broth was decent. The meat was sliced so thin though, so not much substance.

I believe this restaurant price is the best ! Simple one only $10, less topping but still come with 2 pcs chashu. Owner said because for Japanese , they more care about noodle quality than other like topping , so they create $10 simple one for Japanese .

Great ramen, perfect combination of ingredients, and portion is perfectly sized. Atmosphere is traditional but also modern at the same time. Great staffing and service is very good. Rice dishes go perfectly with the ramen. Warm Japanese greeting when walked into this ramenya.

Best Ramen in the area. Soup is thick but not too salty. Meat slices are thin but full of flavor, with the right amount of fat. The $10 plain tonkotsu is a steal. For $5 more, you can order Kiwami version which has many more toppings.
