extra spicy miso ramen is 💓
Elizabeth LovejoyMarch 3, 2014
Vegetable miso ramen. And bring change because they didn't even have ones by the end of the night.
Saif DiaSeptember 8, 2015
Cash only, be warned
Matthew CaldecuttOctober 16, 2015
Not really sure why the pork was amazing and the broth was stellar, but the noodles felt like undercooked spaghetti.
Tyson GachSeptember 30, 2018
👌🏼 Spicy miso pork ramen

Soy garlic tsukemen. And a side of gyoza.
TingJuly 25, 2015
Noodles were undercooked and soup was watery. Meat was excellent but not enough to compensate for the rest of the dishes. Gyoza skin not fried enough and fell apart.
Jennifer XinJuly 4, 2015
Tiny spot, but worth the wait.
Thalia KAugust 20, 2013
Try the Toroniku Ramen - With pork broth. It's been far too long.
James KuangNovember 8, 2014
Super soft, melts in your mouth pork.
Michael MuseAugust 16, 2014
This has a thicker broth than most places. Probably not my favorite spot
CarolineFebruary 10, 2015
Best Of Ramen, VV. Small place

Spicy Miso is great (huge portion!). Gyoza is too oily. Bring cash -- they don't take credit cards.

Spicy miso ramen is warming and filling; perfect for cold days.
Jessica AprilNovember 7, 2010
Get the pork gyoza - so fresh and excellent! The rice dishes are also a great choice.
Jason GelmanJune 5, 2013
Spicy miso ramen is definitely the move

cold spicy miso is a thing (hellloooo summer ramen!)
Adrienne LiuDecember 27, 2016
Get the peanut butter ramen!
Ernesto GutierrezNovember 19, 2015
Disappointed. A long line looked like the place to be, but the food did not live up to the hype. The pork gyozas were bland. Skip the spicy basic ramen. The food just tasted flavorless.
Katie TNovember 9, 2012
Great substitute for Toto or Ippudo, minus the wait.
graceface killaSeptember 9, 2011
Spicy miso broth is very thick and the chashu is very good.
Kyler RossOctober 21, 2015
crowded but good, with huge portions

Tonkotsu Basic with thin noodles load up with extra melt in your mouth chashu is to die for! F*** the hype @ momofuku & ippudo
