What to Order
Tsukemen
This is their signature dish, featuring thick, chewy noodles served separately to be dipped into a rich, deeply flavorful broth. It comes loaded with tender pork chashu, green onions, bamboo shoots, egg, and seaweed.
"The noodles were chewy with a nice texture, and the dipping broth was rich but not too heavy, so it didn’t get overwhelming. The soft-boiled egg was perfect and the chashu was tender with a nice sear—everything felt well balanced."
Mingyeom Kim
Karamiso Tsukemen
A spicy variation of their popular tsukemen, offering a flavorful and satisfying broth with a kick. It's a great option if you enjoy a bit of heat with your dipping noodles.
"I ate Karamiso Tsukemen and that was nice! And services is also nice!"
うー
Chashu Don
A flavorful rice bowl topped with tender, non-dry chashu pork. It's a well-priced and satisfying side dish or lighter meal option.
"The chashu don is flavorful and not dry at all, and the price is very fair."
Vitor Todoroki
Gyoza
These pork dumplings are a popular side dish, praised for their taste and complementing the ramen experience.
"Enjoyed some Tsukamen and gyoza 🥟 here. The gravy is amazing - original flavour!"
