Shio ramen is my favorite. Perfect broth. Not too salty.

Not bad. Good noodles. Broth leaves you thirsty all night because of sodium. LOVE the egg.
Rob MeyerSeptember 12, 2015
Spicy miso ramen and vegan ramen are both so excellent.
Hao HuangMarch 11, 2016
A fast food type of ramen, overrated for its star and price. Only good for a quick bite

Grilled avocado and chawanmushi. Chili Cucumber if you're in the mood. Seared enoki mushrooms are overpriced.
Stuart WrightMay 23, 2014
One of my favourite Japanese restaurants! Impressed al the way around!
Chelsea DicksonOctober 22, 2013
Such a fantastic lunch menu! Highly recommend the Chicken rice bowl!
Robert WAugust 4, 2013
Pass on the brunch menu, but definitely try the yuzu-lemonade. You will not regret it.

Order Spicy miso ramen and gyoza
CamilleJune 19, 2013
Try the vegetable ramen and turn it over with some pork. Best of both worlds.
Kristina ParkJune 13, 2016

The house sake is mediocre. Step it up while you are here and try the "Drunken Whale" (Suigei Tokubetsu)
AlexAugust 24, 2015
the shoyu ramen is so good

Simply amazing ramen. Worth the wait and cool vibe.

Great Ramen, busy hipster atmosphere, fast-moving!
Kristen PeiranoNovember 18, 2014
Skip the ramen and go upstairs ! Ramen had little to no flavor. Vegetable ramen is what I ordered and it was not impressive. My husband got the spicy miso and it's just spice no flavor profiles
Rachel P.April 24, 2013
The ramen is okay. If you're a hardcore ramen eater who eats authentic ramen, you might be disappointed.
Marta PlanaFebruary 21, 2014
Everything was really impressive!!! Great music with your meal!
Alex PopovaAugust 24, 2015
Go late at night to avoid crowds! Daikaya can be pretty noisy, so wouldn't recommend as a "catch up and talk spot".
Matthew ShannonJuly 19, 2015
Spicy Miso Ramen is everything you want here!
Jane AvrietteOctober 17, 2013
The ramen is good. Be sure to get the gyoza.

Considering the long wait times, it is definitely once in a lifetime experience ;^)

Order everything Tom suggests. He's a food wizard.

If they have it. The spicy miso was awesome.

Come at 11:45 for lunch to beat the mass office exodus.
Andy GrossmanFebruary 25, 2019
Great broth & outstanding service
c0uPMay 24, 2016
The vegetarian ramen + spice bomb 👌👌
Mario BarrajaDecember 8, 2015
I think is very unfortunate that something that could potentially be good is eventually so excellent at making the dining experience bad. Fail.
Dana WDecember 15, 2013
It's frustrating when you need to keep reminding them what you ordered...for multiple items.
Ivan PeraltaFebruary 18, 2014
The best Ramen in Town! You have to try it!

Don't bother going upstairs. The ramen bar downstairs is where it's at.

'Wednesday Cat' is a great beer in a great can. Who knew beer could even BE so buttery
Yum KAugust 21, 2014
Spicy soyu♡ id like to try not spicy soyu, too.
MarriopMarch 3, 2013
Get there early. 15 minutes means an hour if you arrive after 6pm
Robert BrownFebruary 20, 2013
Only 40 or so seats. A few days old, so go now before the word gets out!!!!
Marissa RyanMay 27, 2015
Spicy ramen ftw. I still dream about it....

Izakaya upstairs takes reservations but ramen downstairs does not.
