If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to waste your time, money, and will to live all in one sitting 1980something ramen (go for the) bar might be the spot for you. Visited 3 times before, I figured i could give it another shot since i was nearby and craving ramen. Normal wait time, once i got a seat, i waited 10 minutes to start what felt like would be a simple order but i get this AMAZING experience, make sure you get a drink it helps with the process. It takes roughly 30 minutes for the bowl of shoyou to come out, probably the best bowl served from this place but the flavor mainly came

I walked in craving tonkotsu but Big Mike the Manhole Inspector was already at the bar arguing with the waiter about whether ramen broth counts as “sewage water.” Next thing I know Darlene Quackington (self-proclaimed retired Disney princess) starts twerking on the table yelling “this is my kingdom!” while Lil’ Pookie Jenkins was in the corner trying to record a SoundCloud freestyle over the loud music. Somehow I ended up in the alley behind the spot with Shauna Ratood doing the nastiest in the back of a stolen lime green Walmart mobility scooter. I buss so hard the soft boiled egg from my ram

The Tonkatsu ramen is the best in the area. Broth was packed with flavor. Meat was tender, and noodles were perfect. Highly recommend.

We visited on a Friday night. Busy! We lucked out and snagged a table. We waited maybe 10 minutes, but any later and it would've been a 45 minute wait. Either make a reservation, or try to beat the dinner rush. They offered a good IPA from Bent Water, local. We ordered a Japanese pancake to start. Honestly I could've been satisfied with this for my whole meal - it's that good. I ordered the veggie ramen, mildly spiced. It was spiced for flavor, any more and it would've been too much heat for me. The hostess and server were incredibly friendly and had a great sense of urgency. We'll be back
