Delicious ramen, cute 2nd story shop. Definitely satisfied my ramen craving! And they even had gluten free noodles

Went there for the gluten free ramen. It was pretty flavorless and I ended up putting a bunch of tamari in the broth to make the soup more palatable. The noodles are quite hard as well. The service was somewhat unfriendly. There was a woman there who was very brusque in manner, so I’m not very excited to come back. Although the ability to get ramen gluten free is nice.

We went with the purpose of finding a very good gluten-free ramen. I ordered the GF ramen and my boyfriend ordered the udon tonkatsu ramen. Both were good but neither blew our minds. The gluten-free ramen had too much pasta (there was an excessive amount of noodles and not enough broth), and they couldn't clearly specify what the pasta was made from. I believe it's extremely important to educate the servers on this. Nevertheless, it's a pleasure to go to a place that offers a healthy option for celiacs, allowing us to have the same dining experience as someone without the condition. I would suggest adding gluten-free beer (suitable for celiacs) to the menu, which would attract many more diners with allergies. We tried the edamame with garlic, and it was one of the best we've had, not so much because of the sauce but particularly because of the cooking point of the edamame, al dente and crunchy yet cooked. šŸ«›šŸ¤
