> We ordered a tonkotsu ramen from here. Right away, the soup was unbearably salty - to the point where we had to add water to the bowl to make it even slightly drinkable. The soup lacked the bone broth flavour of tonkotsu, but rather, tasted entirely like preserved vegetables. The mushrooms also tasted artificially sweet. Worst of all, the meat was 90% fat (as pictured below). There was barely any actual meat attached to the pieces. Overall, it was not worth the hefty price of $22.50., Tina, 3 months ago
> Literally my go-to sushi place, their chilli oil is AMAZING! All of the staff are so kind and the pricing is honestly perfect. Definitely recommend if you want a high quality lunch on the go., Andrew Howe, 3 months ago
> This is located in a food court and shared spaces with another restaurant Eight grains dumplings and Bao. We ordered the vegan bento box with soy marinated eggs, vegan ramen and gyozas. The portions are sumptuous and the food is really tasty. All the sides in the bento box were delicious especially the miso ramen. The vegan ramen was delicious too. Overall the ambience is really good combined with very fast service, Balaji G., 2 years ago
