Me and my brother loved the chill aesthetics of the art in the back. The low cozy lights. Hiphop music playing in the back. You ordered on the kiosk paid your money and took a seat. They served the ramen and the kuroge Wagyu rice quick. I loved that the additional condiments were right in front of you to add onto the food. Customer service was great. One of the staff saw I was having a rough day with chopsticks and provided a fork with a smile. The volume of the music was good enough to have a conversation. Would definitely recommend a visit. Ramen was flavorful and vibes were chill. Pricing was fair too based on quality of food. Customers were in and out fast but you were never in a rush to finish up eating.

Dec 31, 2025 Rich and flavorful ramen with thick noodles (can choose thin noodles too) and a tasty broth upon your first sip. Both the finely sliced and chunky charsiu were equally very tasty. I got the larger noodles size of 240g at no extra cost but I couldn’t finish it so regular 180g would’ve been better. Wagyu rice was not bad, but the wagyu slice didn’t have any particular flavor until you add some soy sauce. Don’t pick up the wooden box since the bottom has gaps unless you want raw egg to spill over you like I stupidly did. Some condiment holders and water jugs at this place are deliberately quirky but so confusing that not just me but some other customers didn’t know how to use. Tight counters with lighting shining on the food, which makes it pretty appealing. Some cyberpunk decor stands out with lots of customers taking photos of the neon logo. Pretty good place but I don’t understand why it has to be so crowded. It’s good, but you can get plenty of other good food without waiting that long. Is it viral online that I didn’t know about? Mix of locals and tourists, but feels more touristy and TikTok leaning. Came at 11:10, just 10 mins after opening, and there were already people inside and 3 people waiting in front of me. By 11:30 there was a long line, and by 12:30 the line was so massive that the wait to get in was 50 mins. Truly unbelievable and that would make me not want to come again, or only if you come right at opening.
