We came in about five minutes before closing, and the staff welcomed us with zero hesitation—no rushing, no pressure, just great hospitality from start to finish. The food was incredible. We started with the shrimp dumplings and the croquette—both were perfectly crisp and flavorful. For our mains, my husband ordered the vegetable ramen, and I had the pork ramen. Fair warning: we definitely underestimated the spice level! If you’re sensitive to heat, opt for mild. That said, everything was delicious, and the broth was rich and satisfying. This place is a gem—we’ll absolutely be back.

Loved the pork ramen. Place is very small, you might need to wait on one of their 5 tables to free up before you can be seated. Great authentic menu. Appetizers includes gyoza, yummy rice bowls, homemade roasted pork and Octopus balls (Tonkatsu) . They offer a wide selection of Ramen including soy based broth, miso, chicken, beef, along with the famous pork broth.. They aslo offer a decent collection of draft and bottled Japanese beers and Saki.

I have been going here for the better part of a decade. This is the best ramen spot in town. I challenge you to find another location that shows the care and dedication that they show here. I will always come back for the food and service. 10/10

Very rich, hearty, filling tonkotsu broth - noodles & pork were wonderful as well. The croquettes were fresh, hot, crispy, and felt so authentic too. Our server was super friendly and attentive for the entire time of our meal and the whole experience was just wonderful for us.

Our go-to for noodle bowls. We had the Classic and Veggie Ramen in miso broth. Both very yummy, not salty, and portions were large; had some to take home.

This place is amazing. It’s a little out of my way as I am near cocoa beach, but I’ve hit this place on my way down to key west a few times and have never been disappointed. So far it’s my fave ramen place! Can’t wait to stop in again!

Cute place in a local shopping Plaza. Small enough to be your go-to Ramen spot. Large enough to fit a few parties plus the outside seating. 1 guy runs the front and a few cooks in the back. Super kind, very laid back atmosphere, anime playing on the TV! Delicious food, wholesome, delicious. What's not to love. Big hot bowl of Curry Ramen - popular and perfect Chicken & Rice bowl - comes with a fried egg on top
