    This place is a hidden gem! It's a hole in the wall, but they have good food and great customer service! The prices are amazing as well. My boyfriend got the spicy Ramen with medium spice, and he was enjoying himself. He can handle spice well, but it got spicy for him, he still continued eating it though because it was yummy. "They're true to their level of spiciness." He would return ! 10/10 is his rating I got the classic tonkatsu Ramen and added a croquette for $1.50 I got one and a half 😋 perfect because I was stuffed with the Ramen. They gave thick pieces of cha sui, not stingy at all!!!! I'd definitely come back. I burned my tongue but it was worth it lol highly recommend coming here! 9/10

    This place is a little hole in the wall. It’s so worth the wait (there is always one). They are a cash only place so remember that! It’s also closed from 3-530 like most Asian places usually are. So I’m a vegetarian and their veggie ramen is not meat based which most places do not have with a delicious variety of veggies. And their spicy is actually spicy!! I love it!! So good!

    Stopped by for a quick lunch. Ordered the Kitsune Udon. Broth was flavourful, good portion of toppings, and very delicious overall. Place is small, but it felt very cozy. One-Punch Man was playing on their TV. I like that the place wasn't loud. Bookmarking for whenever I'm in the area again. There is some parking behind the restaurant, though it was not busy so I can't comment on how difficult it can be to park during peak hours.

    Very yummy place. Super cozy , limited seating. They have parking in the back. I got the mild spicy ramen pork. It was delicious with just the right amount of heat. I tried milk tea for the first time, and it was delicious as well. It gets packed fast, so be patient.

    This place is super cute, it is small so big parties might have a hard time. The service was great and you can just tell the staff is nice. The food was great, especially for the price. I had the spicy Ramen and takoyaki. Beware the spice! I got medium and there was definitely a burn but it was really tasty. I would be happy to support this place again.

    Their parking is right next to the restaurant but it is limited. I got there at 6:10 and it was 1/3 full. Got the regular tonkatsu and it was pretty good! The soup was super flavorful. Their portions are pretty big too. Chashu was so tender! Popcorn chicken tasted pretty good in the popcorn chicken ramen bowl! Medium spicy was too spicy for me. I think I’ll do mild next time to try! You can add a small curry for 1.50. Not worth. I’ll want to try something else next time. Staffs were all so nice and service was quick!

    Good food and reasonable price! But the restaurant is really hot! Idk if the AC is broken or what. But having ramen in a hot room is not a comfortable experience.

    In short, one of the best ramen dishes I've had. The service was impeccable and the young lady at the register went above and beyond and was a superstar employee. Quaint and genuine with a great menu and exceptional service. The picture below is the delicious and highly recommended Popcorn Chicken Ramen.

    Awesome ramen. Right at the corner of Main and Atlantic. Cash only. Portions are generous. The ramen came with 4 thick slices of pork belly. Wow! Chicken kraage or popcorn chicken was delicious. Good portion but no dipping sauce. Overall very happy.

    Decided to give Kosuke a try tonight and was not disappointed. I ordered our meal to go and when we went in to pick it up it smelled so good inside, the aroma of the food permeated the restraunt. I had the spicy miso ramen with popcorn chicken and my daughter had the miso ramen with tofu, we both loved it. I got my spicy ramen medium spicy and it was spicy! Very good flavor. Looking forward to trying more from the menu, will definitely be back!

    I have been coming here for about six years and it is so far the best popcorn Ramen I have ever had I moved to the valley so I haven’t went in a while and it took me nearly 30 minutes to find this spot but I will be coming very soon 😊

    Great place for Japanese ramen noodles. The broth from the Tonkotsu bowl was unbelievable, and the ramen noodle was nice and chewy just the way I liked them. The black mushroom and sliced bamboo shoot were a perfect complement to the bowl. I ordered the medium level spice Tonkotsu bowl with popcorn chicken on the side so it won't drown in broth and get sogged out. I will order the spicy bowl next time as the medium spice didn't quite do it for me. The ramen noodle portion is generous compared to other Ramen noodle restaurants. Their curry pork cutlet was delicious as well. The restaurant is small and there's limited parking in the rear. Staff were friendly and courtesy. Will definitely come back.

    Small decent ramen shop with off street parking in the back of the building. The ramen and udon we tried didn't taste as good as we thought. The broth was a bit too salty to our taste. The service was ok, but there were barely any people dining in when we were there. The indoor atmosphere is small and cozy, but didn't have the same vibe of a mom and pop ramen shop we thought this place was.

    My friend wanted carbs so we came here. The ramen was good, service was good considering they were so busy, LOVED the honey green tea 😋 she got the spicy ramen and I got the first one on the menu with pork 😋. I thought it was hilarious they were playing anime on the TV!
