The flavors were delightfully present. My daughter and I enjoyed the rolls very much. We loved the blend of flavors and sauces. Sometimes rolls can be hit or miss for me. This was definitely a hit and I highly recommend. We will be coming back to try their volcano ramen and a few other dishes. I was to say the prices were very fair for what we got. It was a filling meal we couldn't finish so maybe I need to let my stomach order and not my eyes haha! It is hard when the presentation looks so good! 10 out of 10 for me.

The pork was tender, well seasoned and surprisingly lean. Often you get more fat than meat with Chashu, but here it was the exact opposite. At least that was my experience.

Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Well deserving of their current 4.6 star rating!

However, I just happened to be in DC on a Wednesday evening after work, and decided to stop by. Best spontaneous decision I have ever made! I put my name down, and walked around the block for maybe 10-15 mins max. We were then called inside for a table. So really the wait was not bad at all. We even got to sit at the bar and watch the chefs prepare our bowl. I got the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen and it was to die for!! The broth was incredible and truly unlike any other broth I have had. So deep in flavor and the perfect amount of heat/spice. The chashu pork was so tender yet perfectly browned on the outside. If i was being hyper-critical, I would say that I wish the noodles were a bit bouncier. But that's just a person preference. But honestly this is my new favorite ramen place. I haven't been this satisfied with a bowl of ramen in a very long time! Highly recommend!

Me and one friend and we were waiting for the third but they would not seat us so we were just standing in a tiny hall. The hostess even asked us if we were ok, as though she didn't know she was making us wait for a table until our other friend arrived. And when the other friend arrived then they sat us all down. Unfortunately it became closer to their closing time and then they started to rush us keeping the floors and making it painfully obvious that they wanted us to get out. I think the combination would have been avoided had they just sat us down in the first place so we could have at least ordered the chicken to start with. Anyway it was close to the next place we were going to so it was more out of convenience. I'm not sure I would try this place again.
