  Probably the worst ramen spot I’ve had here in San Diego. This is not your typical ramen spot. It tastes so fake and just not authentic. I understand the Kitakata ramen style, but this is not it. The noodles and karaage chicken were good, but that’s about it. The broth was very disappointing…. It was lacking flavor. Service was also slow, and it wasn’t even busy when we came in. We will not be returning, and if you’re looking for traditional ramen, go somewhere else. It was expensive as hell like $16.99 and it doesn’t even come with at least with an egg.

  This restaurant was very crowded during lunch. The noodles are kind of special. They are not round and look irregular. I had the tonkotsu Raman and the broth is too salty. Their fired chicken seems to be very popular. I ordered a large bowl and couldn’t finish it.

  Great Ramen. I had the vegan option which was absolutely delicious. My boss had the Cashu ramen and said that it was the best he ever had. Service is also great
