This is a very small strip ramen bar, with one table that seats 4. Do not turn up if you bave a group over 4 - you’ll have to wait a long time.
However, it’s worth any wait (we waited 5 mins at just after opening). It’s a small short menu - and the standard soup is absolutely amazing - really good balance. The ones with fish are more for those seeking new and different flavours. The dipping noodle dish is very salty (I tried every broth as we had them all between us).
The vibe was loud Japanese metal. It’s bright and service is snappy!

I queued for 30 minutes to get in. 1st, queue up. 2nd, wait for waitress to tell you to go inside to order your food. 3rd, go back out to wait in your queue. After about another 10-15 minutes, it would be your turn. Service was prompt & friendly. The chicken ramen broth was thick & good. The chicken & fish ramen broth was thin & sour. Overall, good experience.

The best Ramen we had so far in Japan! Highly recommend the chicken and fish dipping noodles. It's a bit too salty but still absolutely delicious. Strong taste, great texture, and perfect noodles, and all at a very reasonable price.
Note: accepts cash only, there's an English menu, order at the japanese-only machine but the weitress can help.

People are nice and sweet. Noodles are 10/10 and the soup is very good.
