The fragrant aroma and pork bone flavor really whetted my appetite. The recommended firm noodles, soft pork slices, and hot soup were delicious.

💬

The staff were friendly, and there was nothing particularly bad about it, so I would recommend it after drinking in Nerima.

💬

I usually find tonkotsu ramen too heavy and oily, but the one here was perfect—rich without being overwhelming.

The 2,000 yen sashimi platter changes daily and includes about 10 different fresh ingredients, making it a great value and delicious!

💬

It includes pricier ingredients like medium-fatty tuna, flounder, and ark shell, making it a better value than ordering nigiri sushi.

The freshness varies depending on the day, but sometimes the tastiness is on par with counter sushi that costs 10,000 or 20,000 yen.

The ramen is simply delicious. I think this is a restaurant where you can enjoy a delicious meal without feeling out of place, even with your family.

The taste has changed a lot. I especially recommend avoiding the fried rice.

The restaurant has the feel of an old-fashioned Chinese restaurant, and their staff speak a little broken Japanese, but the friendly couple make it a comfortable place to be.
