I am an inexperienced noodle bowl eater so the simplicity of this menu appealed to me greatly. It is easier to try new foods with less choices. Nice drinks too - I had the yuzu with vodka. Refreshing atmosphere... there is no cluttering of menus (it is written on the walls) and you seat yourself. Our waiter checked in regularly and was very friendly. You leave with a warm, full belly but not in one of those food comas from eating too much, which means you can take a nice walk down Cary St and enjoy the evening air. Our only complaint was a lack of heat - we like a significant amount of spicy with our food and this was a tad too bland for us.
Limited menu but helps make up your mind pretty quick. The ramen was good. Noodles were how Inlike them. The egg just melted into the broth which was awesome and the sides were not over the top. The pieces of pork were thick and good. I got the spicy shot which definitely made it have a kick. Id stop by again.
The food here is absolutely delicious. We ordered Bao, apasrted pickles, and Tonkotsu ramen. EVERYTHING was delicious. Our waiter was kind, funny, and attentive, and the atmosphere was very chill with music at just the right volume to hear it and not have to shout at your dining partner. I highly recommend visiting (and ordering a Hakuna Matchata)!
I added a photo of the ramen that I ordered. Unfortunately, this was after 20 or so minutes of working through it, but it was a HUGE bowl of super delicious ramen!

Killer little place where simple is best - just about 8 delicious menu options.
Loved it. Homemade noodles, fantastic broth... just what we wanted. $2 mystery beers! What's not to love?
Great vegetarian options but the beer selection was only okay. Miso ramen was fire
Very delicious restaurant! I would highly recommend it! Cozy and hip atmosphere! Great drinks!
What a nice noodle spot. Great space to drop by for pork and ramen for a quick lunch and a drink.
Local beer and friendly service.
I typically love this place. It's a small ramen shop with a limited menu. But limited doesn't mean bad! Having a smaller menu allows them to focus on doing just a few things VERY well. Every once in a while I've gotten some sub par dishes, but the service is outstanding and the prices are quite reasonable.
Best ramen bowls I've ever had. I lived in East Asia for two years. Broth is on point, noodles are excellent, spices , meats veggies, everything. Bomb. Sometimes the servers are super friendly and cool sometimes they are just ok.
The boyfriend and I love this place! tried it in person for the first time (we'd only had it via uber eats previously) and the atmosphere is pretty nice! I was thrilled to learn they had a type of Sparkling Saki I hadn't tried yet (which is now my favorite sparkling saki!) it was also decently priced compared to my other go to place for Sparkling cider so definitely will be coming here often for my saki fix. The ramen is always very yummy (I get the Miso one and my bf gets the pork with spice bomb) our waitress was very friendly and checked us often, and I personally loved the music choice for the evening. Will definitely be going here often (as we live only a 3 minute walk away).
The ramen was pretty great. Personally I would just make the spice bomb a feature of the dish but I understand the wp precaution. The server upsold us the best sake and I definitely didn't regret it (the service was good in general) . The menu is concise but still very appealing which is definitely the philosophy I adhere to. The decor was simple but warm and welcoming, and the Japanese kid's cartoons really sealed the deal. Whoever designed this place did a nice job but I would say hiring a support person (that you actually pay) would smooth the rush and make a more seamless experience for guests and staff. Will definitely be going back often.
Haven’t tried the ramen, but the appetizers are great. Quaint little spot if you’re looking for good happy hour prices and a quick meal. They also carry Santori whiskey which is hard to come by.
