What People Say

"Beautiful food, authentic flavours and amazing presentation."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious and authentic flavours of the ramen, along with the quick service and cozy atmosphere.

"Overall the restaurant is clean. The outside seating was nice and the staff was punctual. I just didn't enjoy the duck ramen I got—it was a bit pungent. I'm a person who usually enjoys duck."

"Beautiful food, authentic flavours and amazing presentation. Definitely recommend going a few times to try everything. The Karaage Bao was delicious as well"

"The ramen tastes ok but not authentic Japanese ramen for sure not the cha shu. A little hint of Taiwanese to it in terms of if the flavour. The water base look a bit dusty so we ordered other drinks instead. I think it’s something need to improve."
