We ordered the tonkatsu Tokyo ramen, the chilli broth ramen with tempura and the vegetarian ramen option. Our meals came out pretty quickly which is to be expected. The soups were flavourful and not too heavy and the noodles were very firm and bouncy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does ordering and customizing your ramen work?
Ordering is customizable: you can choose your soup base, broth, noodle firmness or style (including rice noodle options), proteins, and vegetable toppings. If you prefer not to build your own bowl, chef-suggested combinations are also available.
Are there vegetarian or vegan ramen options available?
Yes. The menu features dedicated vegetarian and vegan ramen choices, such as a veggie tan tan broth and savory soy or vegetarian mince.
Is the venue suitable for groups or solo diners, and do you need to book?
The shop is cozy and intimate with around 20 seats, primarily at the counter overlooking the open kitchen alongside standard tables. Solo diners can typically walk in for a quick turnaround, but seating is limited and lines can form at peak times, making reservations advisable if visiting with a group.
