The vegetable Ramen was delicious, the broth was so creamy. We also got the octopus balls which was delicious 🤤 There was a line but we didn’t wait for too long, service was outstanding.

Came here for lunch one day, and I was pretty disappointed by the ramen here despite the high ratings. The interior was very nice but the ramen was bland. I even got the fancy version with more pork from a tender cut, but the meat was still chewy, not melt in your mouth at all. The broth had a very boring flavor profile, like it just tasted like salty water. The tsukemen broth was very watery and just tasted like 'spicy' and nothing else. Maybe I just went on a bad day but I've had instant ramen way better than this. Quality could not justify the almost $20 cost for my bowl of ramen.

It was a great authentic ramen shop in Bellevue. The taste reminded me of the days back in Japan. I ordered the Tonkotsu Shoyu (soy sauce with pork broth) and chasyu donburi (rice bowl). My wife ordered the Tonkotsu shio. Tonkotsu shio was very much close to the hakata style ramen, and Tonkotsu Shoyu was close to the wakayama style. They were both good. Gyoza was also quite close to what you get if it was in Japanese store. The Gyoza in other stores tend to be soft and squishy which isn't the right texture, but santoka's Gyoza was crispy on one side, soft on the other side - just like it should be.

This place has a good vibe and food was ok. They serve pork, egg and tofu as a main protein source in their soups. Soups that we ordered had a thick rich broth and fatty peaces of pork. The dishes were too fatty to my flavor. However, their sparkling sake was sweet and delicious. The customer service was friendly and quick. However, the concrete floor in the restaurant was very sticky.
