    This spot have potentials for sure! And there arent many ramen spot in Issaquah. Service was great; server was very pleasant and the food came out in timely manner and i think its reasonably priced as well. The foods has potentials and deff should be develop further. What we got: Black Tonkotsu Ramen (3/5) I think it needs to be more rich and garlicy; need that black garlic punch. I think its either the tonkotsu broth is too light or the "tare" is too weak. This ramen could pass as a regular tonkotsu ramen. Tempura udon (2.5/5) The dish as a whole looks great. The tempura was oke; its your usual tempuras you can get anywhere else. The udon was mehhh; need to work on for sure. Its very basic and at one point it feels like we are eating instant udon noodle soup. Maybe develop the broth further for a deeper flavor and more umami. Chicken Kaarage (3/5) We have a mix feeling about this one; it looks good for sure; but i think the chicken needs more flavor. Its very basic. Yakitori Chicken (3.5/5) For what it is; it has good flavor. Did not expect it to be ground chicken tho; i thought it would be chicken pieces. Flavor was not bad. Overall Its a very Well priced menu and good service. I think the food have plenty of room for improvements and they have the potential to be really good. As of now; i say its very mid ramen spot; and i'll edit this review when i get the chance to try it again in the near future.

    They were not exaggerating about their good broth, fresh noodles, and generous portions. I was super pleasantly surprised! Casual mom and pop ramen spot located in an unassuming strip plaza. Parking is limited but seldom full. Service was quick. I got the Black Tonkotsu Ramen per my server's recommendation and it was super satisfying. Broth was fragrant and noodles were tender; perhaps a bit softer than I'd prefer, but no complaints. Soy marinated egg was jammy and yum. Tons of customization options on the menu, but I opted to keep it as is. I'll be back!

    I passed by this place multiple times and decided to finally stop in and try. I ordered the shoyu ramen and added corn, and was a little underwhelmed. I didn't find the broth to be as seasoned or flavorful as I'm used to. It was very clear tasting, but not as rich as some I've tried. As far as ramen goes, it was fine but I won't go out of my way to come back here (plus this lot is always hit or miss if you can find parking, so that in itself is a deterrent).

    Friendly service and delicious ramen. Broth was so flavorful. Generous noodle portion, wished there was more protein but egg was perfectly cooked. Issaquah was missing a place like this. Good for families.

    We noticed this newly opened ramen place while driving in the area last week and came to try it over the weekend. We ordered a chicken katsu curry and the classic tonkotsu ramen. The curry had actual potato and carrot chunks in it and the chicken katsu was crispy and the egg was beautifully done. We only wished there was a little more curry sauce in the dish. The ramen broth was delicious and we loved all the toppings it came with. We will definitely be back!

    I haven't been out for ramen in years and this place is amazing. I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen and it was delicious. The atmosphere of the place is so chill and cozy too. Our server was very nice and respectful as well.

    A newly opened ramen shop that completely exceeded my expectations. The black garlic tonkotsu ramen features a rich, flavorful broth. As with traditional Japanese style, the sliced pork is meant to be soaked in the soup first--warm, tender, and melting in your mouth. The curry chicken cutlet is excellent as well. The Japanese curry is mild rather than spicy, with a smooth, well-balanced flavor. The chicken cutlet is crispy, and the fried egg is soft and silky. The takoyaki is delicious, and the pickled cucumbers are refreshing and appetizing. The service is warm and friendly, and the environment is clean and well-kept.

    This is my fav ramen spot!! It's so cozy on the inside and a great ambience. The staff is so sweet and accommodating. I love their Takoyaki, classic tonkatsu ramen and the katsu don is very authentic! The food is always hot and fresh. I will definitely be back!

    The udon was delicious and the staff were very friendly. I'll definitely come back.

    Not very authentic Japanese ramen, and the soup is not hot enough. Also, the service is so so.

    I'm from the Bay Area and have tasted a lot of good ramen in my time, but even by that standard,…read morethis place is at least 95 percentile quality. Good noodles, good chashu, and delicious broth on their "Original" ramen (which is pretty much Tonkotsu, I think). It's lacking in nothing. I also appreciate the way they structure the menu: most toppings are optional (like egg and seaweed) in exchange for a modest base price. Yet even when you add stuff back in, the sum is still reasonable, e.g. with added seaweed and a shot of extra noodles, my bowl came out right around $20 after tax/tip. Service is quick and courteous. This place has only one problem: the wait is damn eternal. I waited 50+ minutes, and the only reason I got in that _fast_ was because I came solo and qualified for counter seating. The couple ahead of me in line waited at least 90... and this was on a Monday! But that's hardly the restaurant's fault.

    I think this is a good spot if you are looking for a standard bowl of ramen, but I did not find it…read moreparticularly amazing. There can be a long wait, though they are pretty efficient with service and turning over tables. I got the classic ramen with very firm thick noodles and standard broth thickness and richness. I do like that you can customize both the noodles and broth based on your preferences. The flavor was overall okay. Nothing was wrong with it, but nothing particularly stood out or felt unique either. Overall, a solid option if you are craving a classic bowl of ramen!

    Ah. This was hard. Part of me wanted to give 2 stars but.. it's complicated…read more We came on Labor Day, and damn they were so severely under staffed. The waitlist said 7-10minutes. We waited 20, but no biggie. The waitress was very sweet. The issue was EVERYTHING was a wait. Between being seated and even getting a glass of water, was about 10-15 minutes. I think if we came on a non holiday it would have been better. Hopefully. The food: We got chicken karaage, which was honestly sooo good. Like truly 5/5. Tonkotsu shoyu with added Green. 4.5/5. It was honestly the best broth and noodles I've had in a long time, the let down was the pork. It was so fatty and I think under cooked. Literally tasted like a Christmas ham. If they fixed that, easy 5/5. All star: 4/5. Not as good of a value. Great flavor but the shoyu is better. More veg. Also thought the pork was not good on this one. Shoyu: 5/5.

Ordered a side of udon noodles to go with the curry sauce and it was just WOW! First time bringing a friend son and he was amazed and impressed by the garlic Tonkasu ramen he had. One of the nice touches they have are that some green onions are chopped and sprinkled on top of the extra noodles. That flavor is very important. Service was attentive and outstanding, per usual. It was Alan and another young Asian server. And always love the takeout presentation.

    I love Ramen, so I did some research on TikTok and on Yelp and I came across this place. We went on…read morea Saturday night about 5:30 PM. We ordered the Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, Spicy Negi Ramen (level 4 hot), an order of Gyoza, and an appetizer order of Karaage Chicken. Both of our Ramen bowls were absolutely delicious!! I'm used to eating very authentic Ramen when I lived in San Diego so this was a first for being in this area. It was a great portion size, beautiful presentation and everything tasted so good. I think the egg could've been cooked a little bit less so it would be not so well done so to speak, but it was delicious still. Also, the chicken appetizer was a good, but not as flavorful as some Karaage Chicken I have had. I probably wouldn't order that one again even though it was good, just lacked flavor and was a bit grisly. The service was outstanding. They are very kind and very attentive. The place is very clean. The bathrooms are nicely stocked and very clean as well. The lobby is beautiful and we will definitely be back!

The ramen tasted great but not impressive or memorable enough for me to drive all the way back to Federal Way. I dined in solo and actually didn't finish the ramen or even remember exactly what I ordered. I'm guessing it's the spicy negi. The broth was spicy and enjoyable but definitely didn't taste any different compared to other ramen places I've been to. I tend to eat slow to savor my food, but I felt like the staff was overattentive and frequently stopped by my table to ask if everything was okay. Gave me the vibe that they needed to keep themselves busy or I was taking up a table. Might be great for other customers but it affected my experience with dining in; I usually finish my meals at restaurants but I felt rushed so I just ended up bringing the ramen home for my son, after the second or third time of them asking me if I wanted a takeout box. I'm still giving 4 stars just because the ramen tasted better than mediocre, less than spectacular. I just have high expectations for ramen and prefer more broth/topping variety (I was raised in Cali with options i dearly miss). Plus, I do like that they added a full egg for the ramen (instead of half an egg, like other restaurants I've been to) and the chasu portions were fair. I haven't tried any other ramen places in Federal Way (if there are any), but I guess if this is one of the better options (according to Yelp), it might be worth a shot to try out?
