Low-key place, no frills, and the ramen delivers on its promise.
-
The breaded tofu inside the ramen is why I keep coming back.
-
Could've used a bit more meat in my bowl, but the broth made up for it.
-
Went for spice level 4 and nailed it — perfectly balanced.
-
Best tofu ramen I've had in the city.
-
Lost count of how many times I've had the beef ramen here, still just as good.
-
The noodles are thicker than what I had in Japan, and with this broth it totally works.

Got the vegan version with rice noodles thinking it would lose flavor. It didn't.
-
Spice level 2 already brings the heat.

Tofu crispy outside and soft inside, the way it should be.
