The food was really delicious! Today was my first time eating here. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen, Takoyaki, and Kara Miso Ramen. The pork was so tender and tasty — not chewy or smelly at all. The ramen was super delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very friendly. I’ll definitely come back again because the price is really worth the great quality!

I don’t eat red meat so I tried the veggie spicy ramen and I was actually able to add chicken and other items as well. I was surprised at how good the chicken was. Never had chicken like that before. I’m usually very picky about chicken in soup. I’m very sensitive to taste and texture. And this satisfied both. Thank you. The music was great too. It was Korean music. 🎶

Went for lunch and dinner, both times were an incredible, fun experience with friends :) Staff are so hardworking and kind, they really take care of you! Service is prompt despite a busy crowd, everyone is so cheerful Tsukemen - Dipping ramen, would recommend if you like an intensely rich broth and thick, wavy noodles 24hr tonkatsu - Classic, thin and light noodles with a surprisingly refreshing broth Chashu portions are SO thick and soft! I really do think they have a bowl for any taste or preference, very worth the visit :)

I think this is a good one for what it is meant to be: A spot to get decent, convenient/fast, and comforting Japanese food. Will the ramen's flavor blow you away like, say, Nikka Ramen? No, but I feel like this place has a different appeal. It's very conveniently located to shopping and UCSB campus and has very good parking. It also has some nice "street food-esque" interior decor. My favorite part was the showy Japanese music they were playing in the background. Maybe it's just because the music was similar to the kind of stuff I listen to on Spotify, but I found the overall vibe charming/pleasant. The staff seemed very friendly to me, with the server kindly getting me a glass of water even when I didn't realize it was self-serve and right next to me until he did so. Got the curry ramen. Overall, I thought it was decent, more or less what I'd expect from a Japanese curry dish. The egg/pork could've been a little better and the noodles were probably a little too thick. But overall, it was still satisfying enough. So overall, it won't change your life, but I'll definitely be coming back to grab some lunch here every so often.

**This review was posted from the soft opening on Feb. 28** I was fairly excited for this new ramen place in Goleta so I went for their soft opening. Staff is really amazing, super friendly, and their atmosphere was excellent. They have vending machine-style ordering and a pickup window. I unfortunately was not very impressed by the shoyu ramen. The price is quite high at ~$20 (additional $3 for an egg), although the portions were large. I felt like the broth was not quite hot enough and the center of the egg was still a bit cold. The broth was decent, but didn’t really have a ton of flavor. Pork was similar, tasty but average. The noodles tasted fresh and chewy, very good. Overall I wasn’t very impressed, but given it was the first day, I would be happy to come back and reassess in a few weeks/months.
