Nice & Delicious Ramen shop. Always crowded most specially during rush or peak hours. The tables was covered @ seems like counter table that has cover in front & side so you can’t see your neighbor. The front cover will open if they get your order or when they deliver your, food or if you have some request. You can eat your food privately. The side cover is foldable so if you have companion and want to eat together you can fold the cover.

This place is super good but you'll have a really hard time ordering if you don't know Japanese. They customize what you want your Raman to taste like and be cooked like. It's really good and I enjoyed it a lot.

My son loves this ramen. I like that we can request the details, hardness of noodle, thickness of the soup, amount of garlic, type of negi, how spicy, etc.
