Interesting experience, designed to mimic experience in Japan...order from kiosk, eat at station alone. Ramen itself was good, above average but left hungry. Broth was flavorful and noodles were cooked well. Wish there was water available but drinks appear to only be available from...Read More

Added photos of the menu. The ramen starts with base then you pick what goes inside. Delicious! Love the concept. The outside seating faces water and tranquil spot for eating.

This is probably my new favorite ramen shop because the ramen is so good! I had the spicy tonkatsu and loved it. The shop is designed like a Japanese Rail station and is contactless. Vending machines for drinks are available in the front and back.

Had the black garlic ramen and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the broth. Interesting setup resembling a Japanese train station. I will definitely be coming back

Authentic Tonkotsu broth, the ramen was cooked perfectly with good portions. 3 healthy slices of their extremely tender Chashu and the black garlic was amazing. The egg was just perfect with the other toppings. Love the vibe and the zero human interaction experience. They didn’t just...Read More

Ramen as it should be eaten! Ramen is essentially fast food in Japan. It’s meant to be eaten quickly. It’s great to find a place that serves ramen as it is eaten in Japan - pay, get a ticket, sit down and slurp away. The quality...Read More

Love this place! Prices great, ramen is fabulous. We got the tonkatsu ramen and sparking yuzu. Has a cool vibe like you are in the subway of Tokyo and to go packaged beautifully in a box. As in Japan! Coming back!
