Very welcoming, spacious restaurant where the music is not too loud. Wide choice of meats for the ramen. Delicious ramen and especially small alternative dishes on the side (gyozas, grilled meat mats on rice...). A joy for lunch!

Good option during lunch, when other places have a long line. You'll have to wait here too, but they have a lot of seats and a space to wait inside the shop, so you'll at least be warm. Ramen is alright. Their specialty is meat. You can choose from several (6?) styles of meet - less/more fat, softer/tougher. There're also different types of ramen too. Be sure to write your name on the waiting list inside and the staff will call you when table opens. I'm not sure about proper hygiene in this place. Waitress who were bringing bowl with ramen were not wearing gloves, but their fingers were touching the insides of plates and the soup inside, as they were rushing around, also spilling it on the floor. They were also wearing rings and earrings, I just hope non of that will end up in someone's food.

Last week, weekday evening, visited for the third time. I think I got the shrimp salt ramen....? Very rich shrimp taste. Personally felt it was a bit too rich/thick and had husband help me out in the end. But was still good nonetheless. I’ve always loved their variety, so I would very much like to visit again and try something else. Maybe something with a clearer soup... And yes, probably difficult to order if you can’t read Japanese (kanji)!

Seafood ramen is an umami bomb. Surprisingly, it is not salty. It was a great ramen experience.

No English menu, difficult for foreigner to choose. Small, clean restaurant. Slow service even not so many clients at that time.
