It's next to impossible to find ramen north of Highway 7 but this is one option. The menu is simple and the decor and service is great. However, the ramen is quite disappointing. Bland with only one piece of meat and really non-ramen-looking thin noodles. My soft-boiled egg looked mangled and sad. A regular bowl costs $13 with tax. Better off going to Kinton which is about 15 minutes away and miles ahead in terms of quality. If you want speed and quietness though, Touhenboku is alright.
