    Th dope yolk is the best... simple menu but I would not recommend since everything is salty... I keep drinking water when I start eating the my udon. The egg in the ramen is super salty.. the pork belly is nothing like the ones in japanese ramen

    I liked the Spicy Miso, good noodles and had decent spice. The place has quite the vibe as well.

    So excited they are open again, post-pandemic. I came just as they opened, actual waiter had run next door temporarily, a coworker that wasn't on-the-clock took care of me anyway. If they hadn't told me their menu was smaller than before I wouldn't have noticed - lots of choices, and my meal was delicious.

    It's a very quiet place, I recall going there on my own to eat ramen while I was feeling a little ill. As I got seated, my waitress got immediately ready to serve me a cup of water and ask if I was ready to order. I ordered the Spicy Tori Miso Supreme Ramen as there was only 1 other dish that is served here according to their QR code menu that they gave rather than a physical menu. The dish was delicious, very savory. However, I believed that there would be more vegetables because supreme offered just extra pork and nori sheets. It was good but I was expecting some more vegetables.

    I ordered pumpkin curry ramen without egg and it was a complete burst of flavors; so nutty, thick, creamy and spicy. As a vegetarian, it's hard to find options that hits the right spot, but this was one of the best I've ever had. They don't have actual table, all the seatings are bar like. They've also reduced the menu options due to COVID but the people were nice. Was a hit for me so I would totally recommend!

    Some of the best ramen I’ve had, pork belly was so, so tasty

    My coworkers and I saw the sign that said “ruckus”. As the craving for ramen grew, so did our appetite. Walking up the stairs we did not know that our lives were about to change forever. The ramen was so scrumptious and delightful that Gordon Ramsey himself would’ve been proud. The broth was so rich that you could see Elon musk chillin in a hot tub on the side of the bowl. The beef was so delightful. If there were ten stars I’d give it to them. Hats off to the chef.

    Absolutely perfect ramen joint, me and my partner went twice and are planning on dining here many times from now! The food is absolutely fantastic and cooked in front of you, the service is amazing and the people working there have always been very kind and helpful. The decor is fantastic aswell with street art on the walls and good music playing in the background. 10/10 would absolutely reccomend

    Came here before the Celtics game becasue I wanted real food and have no regrets. I’ve been here before and the quality of ramen is still very good. I got the miso ramen and it was a delicious bowl of food, a friend of mine got the barria taco inspired ramen and he said it was different and very good as well. Great spot for a nice bowl of ramen.

    I ordered the Spicy Tori Miso. It was very good. The noodles are for what sets this ramen apart from other spots in the area. The pork belly had so much flavor and a delightful texture.

    First time here with friend. Ordered Tori Miso Ramen. Interesting broth, yet still tasty. Maybe a bit on the salty side. Thick wavy men, my favorite. Shashu x 2 are extra thick, very tender and tasty. Satisfying.

    Came here spontaneously. There weren't many people so it was quiet, and the vibe was cool. We sat under the changing LED lights. The smashed cucumber was refreshing and the miso ramen was rich in flavor. The pork belly was unfortunately chewy imo but the ramen was still very tasty. My sister loved her curry! I asked for bok hot on the side even though it's not on the menu and they were happy to give me some. I wouldn't mind coming here again. The menu is super tiny but it's great for me because I'm super indecisive.

    Really fun place, my pumpkin curry ramen was so so good. The noodles were thick and hearty and the broth was spicy and fragrant. The waiter and chef were both super nice and the playlist was awesome! Going to take any friends from out of town here from now on 💓 Thank you Ruckus!

    This is one of those graffiti covered- rap music playing Japanese restaurants and I love it. The menu is interesting and affordable, everything is a modern take on Japanese classics. The only thing (and this isn't a big thing) is this place doesn't serve any alcohol, so it's better for lunch than going out.

    Cute little ramen shop tucked away in Chinatown.The noodles and egg were cooked very well. The broth was flavorful, but the large amount of chili sauce took away from that flavor a little bit. I would come back to try some of the other flavors.

    Tried the Dirty Bird Salad and Miso Lit Ramen for lunch today and I think it was pretty good considering that there’s only a few Ramen specialty places that I know of. The salad was good. I really liked the added little crunches on it. The ramen on the other hand got a little too flavorful by the time I reached the bottom of the bowl. And it wasn’t spicy enough for me. Overall, it was a nice meal for some good lunch. I would definitely come back again to try more of their ramen varieties.

    Nice for a quick bite of ramen. Tokyo ramen was a bit salty for my taste—pork was okay. Miso was better—I recommend that. Tried the egg yolk on rice appetizer too; was underwhelming considering the 6.00 price tag. Little bit of rice, furikake, tiny piece of Uni, an egg yolk, and some tobiko.

    Had the spicy tori miso ramen. Not spicy at all but the waitress did say it was a 3 out of 10 on the spiciness scale. I liked the combination of flavors but noodles tasted generic.
