Been back here a few times already. The ramen is good, but for me the broth is a bit on the simple side — I crave more depth and flavor layers. But the cherry pancakes… pure love ❤️ I’d stand in those long lines just for them. So happy you’ve opened an extra breakfast spot — breakfast here is officially on my wishlist, the menu looks absolutely bomb ✨

Not a lot of atmosphere when you are squeezed in and the queue of hungry are a stone's throw and not much on furnishings or decor, but people come here for the food, and the wait seems warranted by most. While I adored the food in Japan, I have never really been a ramen fan, so this choice was reluctantly agreed to. And, I am glad I went. I suitably embarrassed my dining companions by asking for a metal spoon and a fork and knife, which they actually delivered without rolling their eyes, which is more than I can say for my companions. Ordered chicken ramen, which came with the dutiful supply of good noodles, a halved hard boiled egg and lots of large pieces of chicken (yes, the knife came in handy). It was really good. Am I a convert, perhaps not; would I try it again, yes, probably. Also had their chicken gyoza which was pretty tasteless and I would not recommend. It was a nice meal; they were busy and we were served and not rushed. All good in a casual way not fancy not pretentious way.

Best ramen I had in Tel-Aviv, actually managed by a Japanese owner. Authentic cooks. Placed in the cozy Florentin neighborhood. The food is incredible, we tried the Chicken and Pork Ramen and all types of Giozas they served. You can't pre-order a seat but the wait is never too long (up to 20-30 minutes in rush hours). We come by at least once a month. A must visit if you love soups. Order the fluffy pancakes with the soups, they will serve them after you finish. Kind service, always welcoming.

What a wonderful experience — we came today on the rainiest Saturday in December and Elad smiled and answered our questions so kindly, even stopped for us when we stopped him on his way to take our order and he smiled and did it. He and Samar were SO sweet, deserve a raise to work so fast and kind on a day like this! On a side note, the vegetarian ramen could use some more veggies or seaweed, a little plain. Would gladly come back!
