Ramen. Small, counter and communal tables, in Sunset District · 435 reviews on Google

This spot stands out for not using pork or chicken broth — beef only — which pleases most but also divides opinions among those expecting a traditional tonkotsu broth. Small space with a counter and communal tables, with a line at peak hours.

The highlight

Ramen with a beef-bone-based broth (beef paitan), with the add-on bone marrow as the standout praised by almost everyone

I ordered the Spicy Combo and it was excellent — the truffle and scallion paste adds a special touch.
The broth is light yet packs a lot of flavor, and the bone marrow mixed in takes it to another level.
One of the best ramens I've ever had — the black garlic oil is a must.
The sliced beef was so tender and well seasoned; I love a good beef-based ramen.
Get the bone marrow, you'll thank me later — the crispy mushrooms are perfection too.
This beef broth is right on point: strong enough but never fatty.
The paitan had a broth that wasn't overly salty, with a lovely aroma that paired perfectly with the truffle.
The noodles came out fast and perfectly cooked, and the umami from the mushrooms is genius.
The cold noodles (hiyashi chuka) were amazing — so bouncy, perfect texture.
Every dish is prepared with great care, and the flavors are both authentic and refined.
