Ramen is a popular Japanese dish consisting of wheat noodles served in a savory broth typically flavored with soy sauce or miso. It is often garnished with toppings such as sliced pork, green onions, nori, and a soft-boiled egg.
Tonkotsu ramen is a type of ramen that originated in Fukuoka, Japan. It is known for its rich and creamy broth, made by simmering pork bones for several hours until they release their collagen and marrow, resulting in a thick and flavorful soup. The broth is typically seasoned with soy sauce or miso, which can be pretty fatty and delicious. Enjoy traditional miso or black garlic.
Kids Menu: Includes a Tonkotsu ramen with fries and chicken ramen with fries.
Small Plates: For seafood, order the Japanese-style fried squid legs, fried shrimp, or octopus balls. Vegetarian options include edamame, tofu nuggets, spring rolls, veggie dumplings, and potato croquettes.
Rice Bowls: The Chashu bowl includes pork chashu, green onion, and red ginger. To make pork chashu, the meat is typically marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin (a sweet rice wine), sugar, garlic, and ginger to infuse it with a savory and slightly sweet flavor. The marinated pork is then braised or roasted until it develops a caramelized exterior and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
The Karrage bowl includes Japanese-style fried chicken, green onions, sesame seeds, and nori seaweed. Karaage is a cooking technique where bite-sized pieces of meat, usually chicken, are marinated in soy sauce, ginger, and garlic, coated in flour or cornstarch, and deep-fried until golden and crispy.
You can order online or in person.
Open 11:30 am – 8:30 pm daily.
