About

A casual Japanese ramen spot known for its spicy sesame and white miso vegan ramen bowls. Seating is limited and cozy with a bar-style arrangement, and parking is conveniently available nearby. Expect busy periods on weekends with wait times up to an hour, but the attentive service and authentic flavors make it worth the visit.
