    Love the Tantan-men. It's a spicy sesame soup with minced pork. I always add cha-shui. Tender stewed pork belly. Yum!

    Shoyu Ramen and Spicy Ramen 🍜 are the bomb. Get the fried octopus 🐙 puffs for appetizer. Good service, people who work there really enjoy what they do.

    Several top-notch #ramen broths: tan tan, spicy miso, kotteri miso... The spicy karaage is glorious fried chicken death. Curry minced pork bowl got more expensive, but it's still worth it!

    Kahoo ramen is a Monday night tradition and a dear little place to me ^^ The chashu mini rice bowls are a delicacy among my friends :3

    Doesn't close between lunch and dinner also great for kids. Small interior but special kids bowls and silverware. Will also do low sodium and extra pork.

    If you're feeling extra hungry, get the chat-su mini rice bowl. It's worth feeling super fat afterwards.

    Holy bejeebus. The ramen, especially the hot one, is really good. Worth the small drive from the Apple campus.

    The kotteri ramen was decent but not great. A little too sweet and a little too plain for my taste. All the toppings, however, were spot-on!

    I'm not sure why you'd go here when Santouka is in the same shopping center, Halu ramen & tenma ramen are down the street, and the teeny-tiny space means long lines despite mediocre ramen.

    Gyoza and karaage! Avoid Tantan-men unless you love thick sesame sauce instead of broth.

    Food okay but bad service. People next to us came in 5 minutes after us and got their food 10 minutes before us. Finally 20 mins later they apologized. Turns out people next to us got oue food.
