Cool Ramen shop off the beaten path. I went simple with the base Ramen and miso tare adding the short ribs and pork belly as toppings. The pork was pull apart tender and satisfying the short ribs had a fabulous smokey char but I felt that they needed a touch of braising to tender them. The broth was delicious but a bit thin. Overall I really enjoyed my food. I should also mention that the service was very friendly and efficient.

The food was delicious, good size portions and the temperature of food was perfect. We had the Ramen and 2 of the Belly bowls. It was very quiet inside. The waitress that served us was great! Overall a worthwhile experience and we drove over an hour to get there!

Just wanted to start off and say I was highly impressed. Food was amazing and service was great too! We went here on Valentine's Day and was able to snag a seat at the bar area. My fiance really recommended this place for ramen and I really had to be convinced to eat here because I'm 5 months pregnant and was already craving somethings else and since I'm from Hawaii, I've had a lot of great ramen from many different places across Oahu so I told him if this places ramen isn't good I'm gonna be mad at him lmao. But anyway, I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen with Pork Belly and it was REALLY good. It even rivaled some of the ramen I've had in Hawaii. I ate it all and I really liked the options for drinks. They had some unique cans of soda which I really liked (I had the peaches and cream one) it's honestly great because I prefer more options other than water, Pepsi products, and alcohol. My fiance is also vegetarian so it was great he can have some options to customize his food. He had the Ginger Garlic sauce noodles and he had hot sake. Parking was hard because there isn't much room and the place is kind of small but if you want good ramen I would give this place a chance. Also service was very attentive. They were pretty busy because of Valentine's Day but we waited a reasonable amount of time for our stuff. You can also pay with your phone so that's nice. So overall, it's really good here. The baby in my belly had also approved! Also don't mind the pictures! We can't take food ones lol
