    Great food. This place is known to be very crowded during dinner. Went there especially early to ensure I do not have to wait for seats. Ambience is decent.

    I went here earlier today as they opened at 11:30 (Friday) and wanted to get something to eat prior to hopping on my train. I ordered the spicy salmon roll and the salmon sashimi. Both were very good. The freshness of the salmon really did seem higher end. Both dishes were very reasonably priced. Location is across the street from the inner harbor and it's amazing how just one street over you can grab amazing sushi for a fraction of the price that you would from an inner harbor location. The staff was great - very helpful and attentive. I was in and out in quick order as they were there when I they were needed and stood by when they were not. They provided the recommendation, however, I really would love to go back and try their Ramen. The person sitting beside me did and it looks very good. The restaurant was clean, including their bathrooms. The ambiance is relaxed and has a cool vibe with all of their artwork and posters. I am really glad I had the opportunity to eat hear as I was going to go for a inner harbor restaurant initially, however, the one I was going to go to was closed and I wouldn't have made my train in time.

    It was ok, definitely had better ramen before. We ordered naruto ramen, beef donburi, pork katsu, poke bowl, calamari, and fried tofu. The pork katsu tasted burnt to me it was overdone and the naruto ramen the broth was ok. The staff were friendly and they had a simple decorations but pretty inside.

    Tonkotsu Broth Ramen - Pork
    Anna F.

    Haven't been here in years. Today was a good ramen day. I ordered the tonkotsu shoyu - pork broth. It was delicious and I also had the hot house sake which was wonderful. The service is great and I love the quiet ambiance.

    Spicy Sesame Ramen
    Vivek D.

    We were staying nearby at the Hyatt Regency and spotted this ramen place within short walking distance of the hotel. Since it was super windy and cold, it only made sense to eat some ramen. The place is fairly simple from the interior, but the ramen itself was amazing. What I liked is that there were several veggie ramen options. Because I wanted some kick, I got the Spicy Sesame ramen. It had the perfect ratio of soup/noodles and had the right amount of kick without feeling super heavy. I was thoroughly satisfied till the end. Also, the service was pretty prompt too, so no complaints on that front. Another bonus is that compared to prices nowadays, it was fairly reasonable. For two ramens and a beer, it was around $36 before tip. That's not bad, at least with what I'm used to.

    House Salad with Carrot Ginger Dressing
    Alan K.

    Be forewarned that this place is tiny! When I came here, there was a short wait, but that is to be expected if there are a limited amount of seats. It didn't take very long to be seated as I just missed the lunch rush. I ordered their house salad and tonkotsu ramen. Unfortunately, at this restaurant, they are preoccupied with getting your food out ASAP so I basically got the salad and ramen at the same time. Both were really delicious! I was pretty annoyed at the host who thought it was a good idea to ask me to move seats after all my food had been brought out on my table before he rescinded the request after another waitress intervened. If a party is seated at their table with their food, you shouldn't ask them to move unless there are extenuating circumstances which there was not. That was poor judgement from that particular host.

    Tonkotsu
    Rachel N.

    On a Thursday around 2PM, I was served and seated right away. The place is clean. Just a note: the bathrooms are kinda dark?? Tonkotsu 8/10: Would I get this again? Absolutely. The broth was really flavorful. Not too salty at all. The only reason I'm taking off points is because I felt like the noodles were a bit soggy. Although, it did not ruin the overall meal. The meal itself came out hot. Would definitely come back to try the sushi because it looked so good

    Billy T.

    Came here right before an Orioles game and it was pretty packed. Managed to get seated within 10 minutes though - they were really efficient with cleaning up tables! Ordered the Tonkotsu ramen, which was tasty. I'd put it solidly above average for ramen that I've eaten in my life. Would recommend!

    Classic Shio Broth Ramen - Chicken Paitan Shoyu
    Traci J.

    This was my first time here...and my first time getting ramen from a restaurant...and it did not disappoint. Very friendly host. With no reservations, we were seated quickly on a Friday evening. Very nice, calm ambiance. Right across from the Inner Harbor. We started with hotel tea...I got Ginger Peach tea and it was superb. The Classic Chicken Shio Ramen has the perfect flavor broth for a first-timer. Nice and light and just the right saltiness. My cousin got the Paitan Shoyu. I wouldn't recommend this broth for anyone new to ramen, but it was pretty good. I'd definitely go back, when in town.

    Ginger Miso Ramen - Choice of Broth
    Lauren B.

    My first time in Baltimore and this place did not disappoint. The service was extremely quick and the space is very open. The staff were extremely kind and quick to fill my water glass. The ramen was a pretty hefty serving and the menu was large. My meal tasted delicious and I have absolutely no complaints about its It is right next to the harbor making it a convenient spot for tourists as well.

    Gyoza- too good we ate it before pic. Spicy edemame  Naruto black and red ramen  Tonkotsu ramen

    One of the best Ramen places we have tried! My son gives it an 11 out of 10. Pork Gyoza- crispy and delicious Tonkotsu and Naruto black and red ramen, very spicy was the right level of spice (if you like spicy) and so flavorful. Spicy edamame has a great taste Honey tea was perfect (from a non tea lover). Staff was so nice and food was served quick. Prices were very reasonable and portions good. If I had to complain about anything it would just be that it can be a little cold by the door on a windy day if people dont push the door shut quickly. Thats nit picking as everything was wonderful. Go try this place, I know we will be back!

    Tonkotsu (Black)
    Hikari M.

    I knew it would be great judging by the line going past the door, which moved surprisingly quickly. I was quoted a 15 minute wait for just myself around 1pm on a weekday (day before a large convention) and was seated before 10 minutes was up. Menu is straightforward and simple, but has a lot of options I wish I had more time to try. I got the tonkotsu ramen with black garlic, and that came out within 10 minutes. Hot and fresh but not scalding, egg cooked just right, melt in your mouth pork that felt luxurious. Place is clean and has some Japanese decor, such as samurai armor. They also have gift cards and sell t-shirts. Definitely a place to visit! Prime location and amazing food.

    Shishito Pepper (ve, gf)
    Nicole B.

    One of my favorite Ramen spots in Baltimore! I realized I hadn't been here in a little while, but I was pleasantly surprised at the menu additions and changes. We ordered the garlic shishito peppers and chicken Karage to start. They were both so good, flavorful and delicious. The chicken Karage has a new twist and has two dipping sauces to choose from now, I chose the honey siracha. We ordered the miso ramen with chicken and red tonkatsu. The staff were super pleasant and service was quick. We went on Halloween and they had candy for us if we wanted. Pleasant experience as always!

Although the area looks a bit sketchy, the inside of the restaurant is trendy with a slight retro feel. We were seated immediately and told that since it was happy hour the prices were a bit cheaper. While taking our order the server asked for dietary restrictions and allergies, a good sign at any restaurant that they care about your food. I got the mushroom shio vegan ramen and my partner got the truffle chicken shoyu ramen. Despite the description saying the mushroom shio had tofu, there didn't appear to be any. Despite that, the dish was filling enough with its shiitake mushrooms, various types of seaweed, and surprisingly hearty broth. I was a little apprehensive at kale as a topping but it took up the broth well and was delicious. 10/10. If I had to give a criticism it would be that the broth didn't come out piping hot; usually I enjoy the first few sips of searing hot liquid and I couldn't get that here. My partner said he enjoyed his chicken shoyu ramen but would've liked it a bit saltier. With tip we ended up paying around $24/person, a little more than I'd like to pay for lunch, but these days restaurant prices tend to be high. I would recommend this place if you're in the area!

They do have a happy hour on Monday to Friday from 4 PM to 6:30 PM. This includes certain rolls and appetizers, beer, wine, and cocktails. I had the lychee Saketini (HH $8), and it definitely had lychee flavor. It was a little lighter on the alcohol though. I also had a 22 oz. can of Sapporo premium beer, which was also on happy hour for $7.50. Both the bagel roll and California roll were $6 on happy hour as well. I highly recommend the Volcano Roll (HH $12), which had 6 pieces of salmon and tuna top with a spicy mayo and eel sauce. We initially sat outside, but once it started raining, they helped us bring everything inside. The hostess was very kind and our server was excellent. In terms of the ambiance, there is not much indoor and outdoor seating. It seems like they mainly do take out. Also, street parking can be limited.
