While the dish's presentation wasn't the best and the corn felt out of place (it was tricky to eat the kernels with chopsticks in a pool of lard), the flavor was excellent. The service was also very friendly.

Me and my kids loved it so much but when ordering vegetarian just remember to specify because the veg marked items on the menu also come in a meat version!? The vegan broth was amazing and our server was so nice and helped us order the correct ramen when we messed up! Vegetarian options: Not a lot of options but the ones that they had were amazing ?

The vegetable ramen here is excellent, with three different options available on the menu. The service is quick, and the restrooms are very clean. read more The vegetable ramen here is excellent, with three different options available on the menu.

While the IPPUDO PORK BUN is likely fantastic when enjoyed at the restaurant, it doesn't hold up well for delivery, so I would suggest giving that a pass. Cheers!

Each one came with its own perfect sauce that paired wonderfully—so good! I also tried the truffle fries, which were quite tasty and had a nice truffle flavor.

I also ordered Pork Bun and again one little bite of pork on a very soft bread and it was cold! The truffle friend was was far to be crunchy. Spent total of $60 for a kids meal. Won't be ordering from this place again. Super disappointed : I'm a 5'2 woman and I'm hungry! SMH

The waitstaff is young and vibrant, always busy but still managing to serve the food promptly. This was my first experience at a ramen restaurant, and I definitely plan to return!

Spicy, but the rich flavor still shined through. There is street parking across the street. I came on a Saturday at lunch and parking was not a problem.
