What to Order
Original Ramen
This is their signature Yokohama Iekei style ramen, featuring a rich, thick tonkotsu broth that many find deeply flavorful and satisfying.
"The broth was deep, flavourful, and layered. It was THICC. Man that was so good."
Albion Fung
The Max Ramen
A hearty option that includes extra toppings, with a silky smooth broth and tender pork that melts in your mouth.
"I ordered “The Max Ramen” The broth was silky smooth and pork was soft and tasty. I even learned how to season and prepare the white rice bowl that comes with the soup. Every bite was full of flavour."
Karito R
Chashu
The pork chashu is often highlighted for its tenderness and rich, melt-in-your-mouth quality, complementing the robust broth.
"Chashu pork was melt in your mouth as well and very tasty."
P. Cherer
Complimentary Rice
Served alongside your ramen, this rice is meant to be mixed with the leftover broth at the end, often with added condiments, for a unique second course.
"The free rice with garlic paste and chili sauce was a brilliant extra and the best way to slurp up the last of the broth. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
