For somebody who loves and eats a lot of ramen, this was very good ramen. For those who think all ramen is that bland and disgusting top ramen or cup ramen from Safeway, you are missing out.

Great fecommendations on TripAdvisor so I went there. Amazing $7.95 choice of soy sauce, pork, or miso flavord ramen. Then choose items to add in for $1 + each. Perfect portion and great flavor! No line but full restaurant so I ate at the bar. Very pleasant staff and good dinner! more

It's crazy when you have to get there 15 minutes BEFORE the restaurant opens to get in line. But it's all worth it. more

We went with some friends who are regulars so we got there in line early for the stewed pork. It was good, but a bit too oily for me. I still like Ryowa better especially since you don't have to always wait in line. more
