not the cheapest pricing for the quality, i didn't enjoy the beef don as the meat was too tough, perhaps better to ask for doneness of meat🫠 grilled squid was way too chewy which was tough to chew on, regretted ordering that. i enjoyed the bacon enoki roll which was grilled nicely & has a nice umami sauce over it. they provide free tea which was nice.

It look decent like a Japanese small eatery. However when the food came it was quite disappointing after eating some. As I eat more the food - there were some black dots inside the soup. It was certain that it was burned somehow that the pot that they used to heat the soup and noodle up were charred. The meat was okie, however the soup based were pretty not up to standard. the staff claimed that it was due to the grill ingredients. Kindly check your food properly before serving.

the best ramen i’ve had in a long while! the tonkatsu cha chu ramen ($12.90) came with delicious broth and thick juicy cha shu slices! this is also the first ramen place where u can pick your toppings, at no additional charge! you can pick up to 4 toppings and can literally choose all four to be (half an) onsen egg 🤯🤯. they give self-service iced tea 🫖 too!!

Ordered the chicken thigh don with upsized meat for $13.
For this price in a mall and this portion, it’s quite worth it.
Normally i order the gyu don but it was sold out at time and day of visit.
The meat here is always cooked nicely, and rice portion is just right.
The ramen is also cooked very nicely. Broth is seasoned well
Have been coming here before or after blood donation and will continue to do so as it’s just at the basement.

Bonus points for free barley tea.
