  Our go-to ramen spot in Auckland CBD! We first came here two years ago with our son, and he loved it so much that he insisted we come back. We ordered the Chashu Ramen again, and it was just as delicious as we remembered—rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. We'll definitely be back for more. Highly recommended!

  This small restaurant is perfectly delicious! The chicken katsu with curry was full of flavor. The staff were very kind and the food came out quick. The seating space is quite small, so probably best for small groups or individuals.

  Authentic Japanese style sit at bar close to chefs. Been coming here since I was little. Delicious ramen and tonkatsu curry every time. Love this place

  This is a completely new ramen experience for me! The flavour is subtle, but it's not bland at all. You get that aftertaste of the flavours kicking in later, which is so typical of Japanese food. The portion size is a bit on the small side, too. I reckon 22 dollars is pretty pricey for this, but Japanese food is known for its refinement—small portions and delicate flavours for a higher price—so it doesn't often make the cut when I'm choosing what to eat. But it's definitely a proper Japanese restaurant run by Japanese people, and the whole staff is Japanese too, so the vibe you get there feels genuinely fresh. The shop inside is also full of that classic Japanese sense of aesthetics and cleanliness.

  A solid option for a late-night meal if you need something warm and satisfying. There’s a nice range of options on the menu. I can’t remember exactly which ramen I ordered, but it was one of their spicy varieties. I was glad that it was indeed very spicy! It packed a punch, the broth was really solid, and there was a good amount of pork. I would have liked a little more noodles and a little fewer bean sprouts, but it was a good meal nevertheless.
