On a busy weekday after work, I was meeting up with a friend. The original restaurant we had decided on was super busy and had a long wait and we were starting to get hangry. Since it was cold we knew we wanted something warm and saw this ramen shop on the same street. The ramen shop looked busy also but had two seats available and we decided to take a chance. The ramen broth was so good and full of flavor and the portions were so big. I would definitely come back here.
Delicious Koreatown stop on a rainy night. I recommend the fries! Fast, polite service. Thank you!
My friend who's a local took me here and it did not disappoint! Some of the best chicken I've ever had in a ramen, I crave it all the time! The broth was pretty spicy but the flavor was worth the heat!! Definitely coming back!!
Food is delicious! Service was good. Lived the ambiance they play good music. Been coming here for a few years.
I've been coming here for years. It's still so delicious!! I typically get the koku ramen. I add extra egg and some corn if the feeling strikes. This bowl is perfect on a chilly fall day. The store is a little small but the service is incredible. They've done well with mastering the balance of allowing people time to eat and also getting them out in a timely manner. You should definitely check this place out. They have specials now for lunch AND dinner!
Good ramen if you are around but nothing like OmG OmG! Toppings were good, chashu good (i would liked a bit more tender). Ramen noodles cooked perfectly Broth was ok, but I didnt finish it.
Nice little ramen spot. Ramen comes in big portion, broth has good flavors and the charsiu pork slices are big. I would have appreciated it a bit more with more veggies. The environment is a bit too warm. Servers are friendly and attentive.
It's was good but not enough noodle in my Ramen for me I guess that's extra lol but I didn't see it as an extra just protein extra cost. But the truffle edmade was BOMB.com my mango lychee drink was pretty ok it was too thick in my opinion but it taste great!! Place is small but you eat and out quick service
A humble restaurant in Koreatown we went into since BCD across the street was too busy. This ramen is one of my favourite ramens I have ever tried. There is something about the broth that really hits the spot, especially since you can adjust the spiciness on a regular broth (without having to get a spicy ramen). The location is quite small and does not have much seating, but is definitely worth it. I recommend getting the Koku Ramen with pan fried gyoza on the side. **Rating:** - Taste: 9/10 - Value: 8/10 - Ambiance/vibes: 8/10 - Would I go again? - YES - Takes reservations? - NO
