i was looking for a japanese thick tonkatsu place and found this place…read more this was a surprise find. i had thought this was the katsu chain I frequent in Taiwan. But, I don't think so, this is ramen. i order the #1 tonkatsu ramen and with pork tonkatsu combo for about 20 the ramen white soup base is the first time I had this. very good the katsu was fat and very good as well. i finished everything including the cabbage. in addition, i think the 2 piece of pork in the ramen is bacon or pork belly. very generous thick slices as well. total with 20% tip is about $25. very good!

It had an interesting creaminess to it, which made it relatively heavier than other Tonkotsu broths. The Takoyaki and Ikakeso Karaage were pretty good, too! Service: Great!

Still worth it!

Kisses xoxoxoxo I love this place. My boyfriend said I was over exaggerating about this place but…read moreprofusely apologized after the first bite. I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday. He is so so so so nice. I don't go back to restaurants very often but this place has my heart. This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo. I will say it is a little bit salty, with the garlic ones being more salty than the non garlic ones. However the garlic ones do have more flavor. There's not that much meat/protein either just one piece of meat and an egg. The could be slightly better but it's still good. It also just has bamboo shoots but nothing else. A very simple bowl. Ambiance is nice, it feels upscale but also homey at the same time. They have an open kitchen concept which I like.

Came here on a whim and I'm glad I did. My friend was visiting from out of town and wanted ramen…read more They also have some sushi dishes and tacos which were good. The kids meal is a deal. So much food for around $13. They get a bowl of ramen, plus fried rice, chicken and fries and ice cream. Happy hour is daily here from 2-5 p.m. So don't miss out on that either. Service was good. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor.

I've heard so many personal good reviews and seeing how it is decently rated on here, I wanted to…read moregive it a try. Via DoorDash. I took a chance and it was the most awful $31 I have spent for a single bowl of tonkatsu original ramen. And just DoorDash in general lol Let's break it down: - Look. I expect ramen to be oily but why did this have such a distinctive THICK layer. I took my time to scoop out the oil and it took up 1/3 of a regular rice bowl. - I was eating liquid salt. The broth was SO SO SALTY I had to dilute it with hot water four times. - Egg was hardboiled - Chasu tasted like a kitchen staff went out for a smoke and didn't wash their hands when they got back Did they change people? Recipes?? Are we cooking ramen blindfolded?? What the heck did I just eat? Not only was jinya trying to ruin my night but also give me a trip to the ER for high blood pressure and cholesterol. Ggs

The beef this time around was softer than before. Really varies when you come but overall hits the spot as homey and conforming. The service was good and they always kept our drinks full. However, the bok choy was cut into 1/8ths which was pretty small and wasn't very clean when I got it. The dumplings in chili oil were pretty good though.

My shoyu ramen was very good, wonderful broth, great noodles and bamboo shoots, and a very flavorful soft boiled egg. The chashu was fairly small, but it was still a great bowl. My partner's tonkotsu was not as good as the shoyu. Nothing stood out as bad, but the broth was weak and the fungus was mediocre. It did have a very generous amount of chashu. The service was great and the atmosphere was impeccable. I will likely return.

I visited on a Sunday evening, and there was only one other group of customers. This location is…read morenoticeably smaller than their others. There were two waitstaff and one cook. We were seated quickly, and our waters were brought out right away. However, the menu here is different from the other locations I've been to, so I recommend checking it before you come if you're expecting specific dishes. They were also out of some of their noodles. We placed our order, and the karaage salad arrived first within about 10 minutes. Sadly, the ramen came out almost 30 minutes later and wasn't plated cleanly. There was broth all over the edge of the bowl, and I even think the server's finger was in the broth when she dropped it off. Additionally, the ramen was missing the egg, and the noodles were overcooked. One of the waitstaff seemed to be the only one actually working, as he was helping about 95% of the customers in the restaurant. Overall, I highly doubt I will be returning to this location anytime soon.

Bf and I are regulars of the Plano location (edit: Now renamed Hotpot Fairy, not an official…read morelocation??) and happened to be in the area to try this one tonight. While there were some minor differences, overall the quality here was the same and you really can't go wrong with it. $15/lb and I NEVER need more than .75 lb to fill me. You choose absolutely everything that goes in it so everything down to the taste and amount is specific to you (you fill a bowl with raw ingredients and it gets boiled into a broth of your choice for you). All of it is fresh and healthy. The Plano location does have way more soup options (I love the mushroom, but this one only had tomato!) but I'd say this location has more topping options. I'm a spice baby, so get the tomato soup here if you're weak to spice like me. A great concept as always!
