    Delicious! One of the best ramen I’ve had in a long time, and definitely the best in Boulder. Also very reasonably priced and they have a great happy hour.

    This was a very cozy restaurant. All food was well seasoned and delicious. Side sauces for Eggrolls and Korokke were sweet and fully satisfied my appetite. Shoyu Ramen and Tantanmen Ramen was savory. I will try other Ramen choices next time at any costs. I heard there is another branch in Denver, so I should check it out as well.

    Fantastic value for the money. Great flavors and textures, original takes on some traditional rolls plus some nice surprises on the menu. Everything tastes very, very fresh. Their ramen and apps are solid if not super sophisticated. The waitstaff is friendly and fast, and the whole staff obviously works very hard for their money.

    Service was good but food was terrible! The eggs were frozen in the middle noodles had no flavor, my girlfriends vegetarian bowl had pork in it and on top of it all i felt sick the rest of the night. Really not sure why it has high reviews.

    I’ve been coming here for a couple years and it’s always a tasteful experience. The go-to-dish for myself is their fried rice (yes, I know it’s not a ramen) but every ingredient is finely diced which captivates your tongue. You can not go wrong with anything on the menu either. Also great for take out!

    + Aesthetic + Service + Food Design + Pricing They were so timely and kind. We had a lot of kids as well as adults and they were very accommodating to us. The presentation of the rolls were incredible, not to mention their delicious smack. Mei's Roll, Heat of the Night, Sashimi Mango Roll, and the Karaage were among our favorites. Boulder's got a good spot here; definitely worth checking out.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in boulder. Best ramen hands down. The takoyaki is the best I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and order it!!! They have great vegetarian options. Hits the spot on a cold day. Super fast service if you’re hungry you get the food really fast !!

    This place has changed its owner, and the food is not as good as before. We ordered ramen, and the noodles were so soft(not in a good way). I felt we wasted our time and money on that lunch. Having instant noodles at home might would be a better choice than coming to this restaurant. If you want ramen you better go find other places. The service was also just fine. Won’t be back in the future.

    Very mediocre… no flavor at all… low quality… won’t be back here…

    Our family enjoyed their ramen, but left impressed with their sushi. We had some of their salmon nigiri also rolls. I have to say they were much better than some of the well known places in the area. We will for sure be back and try the rest of their sushi menu.

    So far one of the better places in Boulder. Ramen is good but not the best I've had (moved from LA). HOWEVER, this place is waaaay better than the chains (e.g. Rakkan Ramen), and the service is sweet.

    This is what your bowl will look like after you can’t stop until the last drop. We have ramen from here 2-4 times per month and it is consistently great stuff. Try the curry ramen, has wonderful flavors. Loin is good and their eggs are the real deal.

  • 4/5 Justin J. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick service and decent quality. Noodles had a great consistency. I had the Tonkatsu Shoyu which while not traditional to mix was a nice change of pace from the standard variety.

  • 5/5 Kat A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place brightens my day every single time!!! I love it so much! Their food is consistent and absolutely delicious. I dance a little every time I eat their ramen 😊 I would give them 10 starts if I could. Keep it up guys. - Your regular visitor Kat 🙏🏼

    I love this place! I've been coming here for years, it's hard to not go every time I'm in Boulder. The staff is always so sweet and they have so many good vegetarian options. Definitely my favorite veggie ramen stop.

  • 4/5 Paul Y. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a little hard to find. It's next door to the gym. The food there is pretty decent, the vegan ramen is surprisingly good(even I liked it and I'm not a massive vegan food fan). I had the beef and rice bowl which was well balanced. I find that some beef bowls can be overly sweet. This one was great.

    We really enjoyed our first time here. The ramen was very nice and the broth was not too greasy or strong. The flavors were good. Definitely try "It's The Sh!t" as well! And the family loved the Japanese pancakes. The service was friendly and prompt, and the prices were reasonable. We will surely visit again!

    The curry ramen is so good! The broth is thick and noodles have nice texture. Fast service and pleasant experience.

    Nice atmosphere, clean, nice chopsticks for use at each table as well as additional seasonings if desired. The Tantanmen ramen was good although I will say the broth was a bit oily, they also didnt cut the egg when serving it which made it chilled in the center still. The grilled squid was cooked well and the sauce was very tasty. The staff is very friendly and provides quick service.

    Best food experience I’ve had in a while. Japanese pancakes are a must, but everything was cooked to perfection. Taste, texture and temperature of the food was all exceptional.
