It was a very good and unique ramen. As for the line, we waited 30 minutes for a seat at the bar. It was a Sunday, 12:30. This place is very small, maybe 12 seats or a little more.

I was not expecting this much from a place called High Five Ramen, but I was blown away. Absolutely insane how deep and rich the broth was, and the pork truly just melted with perfect flavor.

I ordered tonkotsu ramen and it was too salty. I normally eat salty, but here, they added too much and made the dish very displeasing. However, I really loved their dark and low light ambiance. I think it is a great place forfirst dates. I recommend just ordering draft Japanese beer and go upstairs to eat the brisket. Service: they wanted us to leaveand they continuously asked us if we needed anything else. I know this space is really small and only holds 16 seats, but Iwaited an hour to eat at this place. I probably won?t come here again.

Great if you're a fan of house music. The Ramen excels in terms of broth but falls short in other areas. The noodles wereokay but the toppings a bit lack luster. Overall great experience, must try however wait times are a bit long. Please let meknow the playlist if possible, not a single song was a miss. ????

By 6pm it?s a 2 hour wait. The music is always unique house music with thumping bass that fits the dark basement barambiance perfectly. Their 22oz $11 Japanese beer is a great complement to the spicy ramen. The menu is simple and DELICIOUS!
