Description

Nestled in Ithaca, this ramen shop garners both praise and criticism. While some diners rave about the fresh, flavorful broths and efficient service, others express disappointment with undercooked noodles and bland toppings. Highlights include perfectly tender pork buns and a variety of vegan options that are particularly well-received. The ambiance is often described as clean and inviting, making it a suitable spot for families. However, concerns about inconsistent food quality and meal execution have emerged. Ultimately, while it can offer delightful culinary experiences, diners may want to exercise caution and explore the menu wisely.

The service and the food are both horrible. There are some sort of red things that seems to be lipstick chunk in the water they served me so I immediately told our server and she only said ok in a very light voice that I almost did not hear. She then waited there in a dead silence, which we have to guess that she wants to take the order. After taking the order she took my water away and got a new one but instead of giving the water to me, she took it with her and waited in front the kitchen until the food is ready. While waiting for the water and the ramen, I also found the same red chunks on my boyfriend friend's cup, so I used tissue to rub it off, shown in the picture. Since it is not inside the cup, and our experience with the server is already so bad we didn't even wanted led them know cause then I guess both of us will have nothing to drink before our food is ready. While we were eating the server never came to check on us and even when we told them we need the check we saw that our server and another server debating who is going to help us. So we even have to wait at the counter until they made their decision. Not just the service is bad, the food is also bad. The chashu is made of pork loin which made it so though and chewy, and the egg does not have any taste, unlike the usual tamago we got in mang other ramen that has a brownish color and more favor. The noodle and the soup are just ok. Does not recommend! Will not come again! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

I drove for an hour just to enjoy the ramen here, and everything was fantastic. The new staff member was incredibly friendly. I love the ramen and will definitely be returning soon! Food: 5/5

Great Ramen and very fast friendly service at a more than fair price.
