The portion sizes of the meals are sufficient. The ramen broth has a Taiwanese style, which is light and simple, with a mild white broth flavor. In contrast, the Thai tonkotsu ramen broth is richer and has a fragrant spice flavor, making it suitable for those who pursue large portions.
The interior decor style of the store is simple, primarily featuring dark-colored wooden decorations. It has been in business for eight years, giving it a somewhat outdated feel.

There are two flavor experiences detailed below the photos. The portions are quite generous, and for those with a big appetite, a size upgrade for an additional $20 can help you feel full. However, the ramen broth tends to lean towards a Taiwanese style, being light and simple; it's decent if you just want a basic meal. If you're looking for traditional Japanese flavors, it's best to avoid this restaurant.
