“ Good ramen and worth checking out. If you like a twist on ramen, you’ll love this place. And if you love yuzu, you’ll love their ramen. Personally, I prefer something less sweet sour but I can understand why it’s busy and why locals love this place. You can definitely feel the quality and the chefs are very professional and friendly. So are the waitresses. The atmosphere is nice and very clean. ”
“ Chicken broth ramen, excellent choices, hot and savory - love the simple ordering upfront, water at the counter, and spaces for your packs and items in the back. While the grilled pork on the top wasn't the best, the ramen underneath and the ramen soup was very delicious. ”
“ This is hands down my favorite ramen spot! I always order the Yuzu ramen with their recommended pork—it's absolutely delicious. I've been to another branch and ordered the same, consistently great. All seating is at the counter, and there's a convenient storage area for your bags. They also have a machine at the entrance for easy ordering, which I find very convenient ”
“ You won’t forget the first time you tried Yuzu shio soup. The favor is beautifully blended together, make you wonder why there isn’t Yuzu used in other ramen. The aroma cutting through the greasy of soup perfectly. It’s not an oily ramen. Soup is 5/5. Noodle (thin) 4/5, slightly softer to my taste. Chashu favor 5/5, perfectly grilled to bring out the favor, though only one thin slice… Egg 3/5, not outstanding. Will definitely come back for more, maybe Yuzu shoyu ramen I heard many ordered ”
“ This is a ramen spot I keep coming back to. It’s been great to see how it’s evolved—from a traditional push-button ticket machine to a sleek, modern ordering system with English interface. What hasn’t changed is the consistently delicious flavor. Their signature yuzu citrus chicken-based broth is light yet aromatic, offering a refreshing alternative to heavier ramen. The pork chashu is tender and flavorful without feeling greasy. I also love the customization options—you can pick your noodle thickness (thin for me), adjust the amount of chicken oil, and choose to add their intense spice separately. Just note: their default spicy ramen is very spicy. Service can be a bit slow once seated, but it’s worth the wait. Bonus: the quiet, charming neighborhood makes for a lovely post-ramen stroll. ”
“ Awesome ramen here though I’d think twice about getting both the chashu rice and a beer too. Unless you’re starving, it’ll leave you pretty bloated! Definitely the yuzu ramen, half chicken, half pork. Shoyu or shio, up to personal taste though I lean towards the shio. ”
“ Came here for a late dinner and it was really delicious! I got the yuzu shoyu ramen and I liked it a lot. There isn’t a lot of variety but it tastes very good. ”
“ Easy to order, got a table immediately, got served in 10 minutes. Very delicious ramen and friendly staff. We loved the Yuzu beer. ”
