Customer Review Summary
Ramen is the main draw, especially the tonkotsu and beef bowls, where reviewers praise the rich, smooth broth and pork that falls apart or is cooked perfectly. Close behind, the grilled chicken teriyaki and salmon get repeated mentions for fresh flavor and presentation with edible flowers, and the pork gyoza and chicken karaage with yuzu kosho mayo are singled out as tasty sides. A few reviewers like the tofu and aubergine karaage, and one enjoyed a salmon and mousse dessert.

“Great food- perfect proportions. The pork for the ramen was falling apart perfectly and the broth was amazing.”

“Decor is nice. It's in an awesome location. Food was good. The tofu was great, my yakisoba could have had a smokier flavour. Serving size and taste were good. Service was fine too.”

“The tofu and aubergine karage were good, I had that as my meal whilst others got meals and ramen. Service wasn't smooth, not helpful when asking for suggestions, felt they were annoyed we were there. It's not clear what you are ordering on the menu, i.e this dish comes with rice, this other one doesn't.”

“nice interior and outside area. but wait time for food is quite long and even longer if you order using the table service QR code. wasn’t very impressed with the attitude of some staff. got the yakisoba noodle with prawns, it was okay.”
- Joseph Holroyd
“An excellent little restaurant, clearly a lot of care has gone into curating such a cozy, bright and welcoming place. The staff were a bit shy, but they also clearly cared. When I asked if I should go up and pay, tlthe gentleman said he'd bring the bill to my table. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen. The broth was rich and smooth, the pork was the right balance of tender and firm. I ordered extra beni shoga, and I do think the portion was a bit shy, but over all the dish was excellent. Highly recommended 👍”
