"The ramen here is simple and unembellished, free of the trends and cutesy interpretations. Make sure you add the spicy miso ball to your bowl, which transforms the broth via a warm and peppery heat."

"The menu offers three base options: light seaweed broth, miso-based chicken and turkey stock, and rich pork bone broth. If you can handle intense heat, ask for the Monster Hell Ramen."

"First timers will love the shoyu bowl with tonkotsu broth, soy, pork belly, bean sprouts, nori and bonito flakes. If you’re looking for something more adventurous, go with the namesake Furious bowl."
