Excellents ramens, préparés sur place. C'est savoureux, relevé comme il faut, dans des bols généreux.
Les tarifs sont très raisonnables pour la qualité des plats.
N'hésitez pas.

Excellents ramens, les bouillons sont très goûteux, particulièrement le miso qui est leur spécialité. Les nouilles sont vraiment délicieuses, & les bols sont bien garnis. Service rapide.

First time here & will be coming back! I really enjoyed my Spicy Miso Ramen & I highly recommend getting their gyozas as an appetizer. My husband got the Shoyu Ramen & small chicken Karage bowl & it was delicious too (very crispy) Special thank you to our wonderful server Mimi! Though she was working alone & it was busy, she was still very attentive & gave great recommendations on what to order (as we don't often eat ramen) We were extremely happy with everything we got & appreciated the cozy atmosphere especially with the cold weather.

Great service, the gyosas were good, though the red miso Ramen was salty for my taste, the atmosphere is very chill & the place doesn't get crowdy for a Saturday afternoon.

Good & fast service & the atmosphere is pretty good & cozy. Would've liked more space to sit but that's my only caveat. As for the ramen, I ordered the spicy miso & it was very tasty & well balanced. I would've like the broth to be me warmer but can't complain about anything else. Very recommended !
