    Visiting from the US and this is the best ramen I’ve ever had! The atmosphere and service were outstanding! They even were able to accommodate my gluten free friend. I noted her allergy on the reservation and they were able to prepare a 100% gluten free broth and fried chicken ahead of time! 10/10 definitely recommend!
