Highlights
The chashu pork is juicy and served in generous portions, especially if you opt for the tokusei (deluxe) version of toppings.
The chicken meatballs in the shio ramen are amazing, and the soft-boiled egg is cooked to perfection.
The roast pork rice is fried after the order, resulting in a savory crust that pairs well with the dandan noodle sauce.
