I got the curry ramen which was delicious! Food came out in about 5 minutes and the service was good. This is a great spot for a quick lunch! Prices aren’t too bad either.

Ordered Kiichi Shoyu Ramen. The egg was hard boiled, chicken broth was alright, and there was 2 pieces of non-tender pork which, for the price, is not sufficient. I wouldn’t get this ramen again, compared to other places. The staff are quick and kind tho

Ramen flavor is good. Not 100% authentic Japanese but it’s not bad. The noodle was cooked perfect and the broth was surprisingly not too salty but flavorful. Their skewer squid was good. Spicy and full of cumin. I wish it was a bit more chard. Chicken karage was ok. Wish the meat was seasoned

Price: Mixed Value
At about $15 per person, the value was a bit mixed. My portion size was okay, but I felt my son's portion was a little small for what we paid.
Quality: Fresh Ingredients
The food quality is solid. The octopus balls (takoyaki) were served hot and fresh. The noodles in my bowl were very fresh as well, though it felt like a specific seasoning was missing.
Range: Impressive Selection
They have a much greater range than our local ramen spot. I was really impressed to see hibachi and bento boxes offered alongside the ramen, plus they have a very wide selection of appetizers to choose from.
Service: Friendly but Busy
The staff was friendly, but service was on the slower side because they were incredibly busy (there was only one table available when we walked in). They did mix up my son's order, bringing him shrimp instead of the chicken he asked for. We didn't send it back because he ended up liking it, but it is worth noting. Additionally, we had to get up to grab our own utensils and napkins.
Taste: Good Overall Flavor
Overall, everything tasted good and nothing was bad. My son really enjoyed his (accidental) shrimp noodles, and if you find your broth needs a little something extra, they conveniently provide a few different sauces (like chili sauce) right on the table so you can spice up your meal exactly to your liking. -
Absolutely delicious Japanese food. Wonderful service, aesthetically beautiful dishes! Highly recommend this stop near Duke chapel.
