  • First... this place is IMPOSSIBLE to find. Get out your Google maps! It is nowhere NEAR Bland Street (it's mailing address). It is across the light rail tracks from the Bland Station and the Trolley Powerhouse Museum. OK. Now that you've found it... be prepared to get up close and personal with the other diners. This place is pretty small and only has a few tables. You can eat at the bar or at a little counter they have built against the window. Also, it is SUPER loud. Don't come here on a first date if you want to get to know each other! The food: Our group had the tonkotsu ramen and the miso ramen. The miso was more authentic. The tonkotsu was a little too greasy and not salty enough (we lived in Japan for over 11 years and have tasted LOTS of ramen... trust me). If you're not a purist, both are probably excellent. Also, for my taste, the noodles could have been cooked a little bit more, but that could be personal preference. The pork belly buns... AMAZING! Also, they come 2 to a plate, but since we had 3 in our group, they were willing to do 1.5 orders so we could get 3 buns. That's customer service! Speaking of customer service, the food comes out FAST! We were hungry when we got there, so that was a good thing! One thing that IS authentic is the tiny water glasses--straight up Japanese style there! They refill often and leave a bottle nearby, so no problem... just a funny observation. Looks like they have a soft serve flavor of the day. When we were there it was yuzu mango. SOOOO good. And a nice palate cleanser after all the greasy food (pork belly is NOT low fat)! By the time we left, there was a long line of people waiting to get in, so even though they are hard to find, they are making a name for themselves. Would I go back? Heck yeah. There are about 10 other things on the menu that I want to try. Will I bring my Japanese husband with me (he wasn't with us on this visit)? Heck no! I don't want to hear all his comments about this isn't authentic and that isn't authentic, blah, blah, blah. This little place will remain MY secret (hope he's not reading my Yelp reviews)!
