Great service from the moment i stepped in, the few different servers were friendly and warm. The bowl of hot noodles is great, and it was not salty as per what i read - which got me to go try them. A bowl full of toppings which made every mouthful full of bite and flavours. I guess the only downside is the price. Nevertheless, it’s a great choice - price aside.

Delicious bowl of black garlic ramen. The garlicky soup was flavourful and filled with bean sprouts. The fried rice was unexpectedly full of wok hei.

Love the ramen here for its garlicky taste. It’s simple to order from the vending machine before being shown to your seat. I chose the specialty and was given a choice of raw eggs or boiled ramen egg. I chose the latter. It is a walking distance from Kumamoto Station.
