The food was quite good! I liked the tonkatsu supreme ramen (a good amount of meat), the heavy broth, and the mango sago drink. The drink is what I would come back for the most, perfect sweetness with a ton of fruit! The owner was nice and helpful and service was quick. Would recommend!

Visiting from California on a cold night and craving some good flavorful soup... didn't expect to come across this delightfully authentic ramen noodle house where ingredients were fresh and the soup tasty! Tried the yakisoba and kanji chicken wings that did not disappoint. Ramen noodle houses are a dime a dozen in California, but a place like this would put some out of business. Overall, very impressed with the quality and preparation of menu items and would be a regular if I were local, so needless to say, this place deserves my high recommendation! Also, the clean and well decorated kitchen and dining area added to the overall pleasant dining experience! Enjoy!

I was so pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I genuinely just happened upon it as I was in the area and was looking for some Ramen. I didn't even know we had things like this in the area. The Ramen was definitely some of the best I've had in Delaware. It hit the spot! The service is quick, and of course, the atmosphere in the restaurant is adorable. I will definitely be coming back here to try more!

Let's start by saying the takeout container is amazing! They separate the soup from the noodle and toppings. The gyu rice was so flavorful and delicious. The pork bun was well seasoned. The ramen was delicious even my daughter loved it. I had the chicken broth with chicken and my bestie had the pork broth with pork Ramen. Didn't get to eat inside due to time constraints while traveling through. So we ordered take out for pickup. We purposely drove out of our way, to get noodles as we were craving for soup noodles. This place didn't disappoint. I would recommend the food.

Stopped into the location to try out this new Ramen location that opened up near our home. I've slowly seen that this area is slowly growing in Asian influence with the location of KPot; a Hotpot/KBBQ restaurant, the Hung Vuong Asian Grocery store similar to HMart and now this Ramen shop that has a niche with the other close Ramen location near the University of Delaware or the Christiana Mall. This location easy to get to off the highway allows you to enjoy some typical ramen variety like Tonkatsu Ramen which I ordered or Shoyu Ramen which my boyfriend decided to enjoy. There is even a mystery bowl of Ramen if you are living a little dangerously. The bowls were deep with broth, egg noodles and the typical toppings that you would find at other ramen locations like a soy egg, corn, scallions and bamboo shoot. The Tonkatsu Ramen was interesting in that they cut up the Chashu meat into cubes which I always enjoy holding the spiral meat with my chopsticks before devouring every savory bite. Made it good to catch some meat when I sipped up every bite of broth left. Takoyaki was pretty standard with sauce, steamy octopus and wavey fish flakes. The atmosphere is very open and bright unlike other Ramen locations I've been to which could be cramped and more noodle "bar" vibes with possibly outdoor seating to enjoy the sun while slurping up some golden noodles.

New ramen spot that just opened up right near the hospital and across from Del Tech. I couldn't decide on what kind of ramen to get so I opted for the Kanji wings. The wings were tasty, not overly crispy but they still had a lot of flavor. The staff was very friendly. The restaurant had plenty of seating and was pretty empty. I would definitely come back and try out their ramen.
