What our guests are saying

I had the chasu rice bowl which was excellent. Server was very good and food came in no time. The ramen here is also very good

David Y.

I liked everything we got here! I’ve been to the Irvine branch and feel the same way. Much of their ramen has lighter, clearer broth and the pork is saltier to bring more flavor. Karaage was yummy too.

Excellent food and great service
