This is my favorite Ramen place in Madison! The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the food is fantastic. I always have the tonkotsu, but have tried the other broths and have enjoyed each. I particularly like the spicy tonkotsu ramen, but the spicy miso is fantastic as well.
When you order one of the "spicy" ramens, they serve it with a delicious spicy miso ground pork toppper which really adds a nice spice to the ramen base. The actual cuts of pork they serve in their tonkotsu broths are good, but not the best I have ever had.
If you are in the mood for a drink, Sapporo, Kirin, and several varieties of sake are all on the menu. And the best part? Each drink purchase comes with a side of salted edamame on the house!
If you are in the mood to eat a lot, you can combo a ramen with a few options for sides for a discount. I like pairing my ramen with extra noodles (if I am very hungry), curry rice (if I am moderately hungry), or takoyaki (if I am in the mood for a treat).
By the way, their takoyaki is very good too. If you are a little leery of octopus dumplings, I would encourage you to bite the bullet and give them a try anyway. They are really delicious.
I would recommend this place to anyone - even for you picky eaters out there. I took one of my picky friends here, and they found a few options on the menu that spoke to them. This includes the chicken ramen, which is very mild and palatable. There's really an option for everyone.
