I'm not a ramen expert, but have been to several places in Portland and Madison and this is by far my favorite. I am in love with the bulgogi beef buns and ramen specials. The flavored eggs are absolutely incredible. Sometimes the staff can be a little awkward and slow. Generally the atmosphere is great. Very chill and interesting. When it is busy, large groups congregate near the door and encroach the tables making it loud and uncomfortable. If you're looking for a quiet time, it's a gamble.
