Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Good for casual dates where comfort matters more than ambiance; the room is cozy but not a high-design space.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's walk-in only, and turnover is fairly quick even during peak hours.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who enjoy ramen; space is tight, so strollers or large groups with toddlers may find it cramped.
Best For
Better for: Hearty, comforting ramen with customizable dietary options in a quick, low-key setting.
Skip if: You want a long, sit-down ramen experience with crafted cocktails or designer interiors.
