Great gluten-free ramen and vegan and gluten-free gyoza. They saved my dinner, and it was a great rescue 😋😋😋 They don't guarantee contamination since they don't have separate kitchens, but they proved to be attentive and prepared. I highly recommend it 😊

Very tasty food with gluten free options. The service is slower than the typical ramen-style restaurants where they get you in and out quickly but that didn't bother us.

Very authentic experience. Only one man running the whole restaurant, from catching the fish in the fish tank to cleaning tables, taking orders/payments and cooking. He used a translator device with every customer to explain how to eat the noodles. The soba noodles were 100% buckwheat, so gluten-free, as was the broth. He had an excellent understanding of gluten-free. The food was exceptional would recommend making a reservation, lots of people were turned away as it was full. Only 4 tables thar seat 2 people in the small restaurant.
