best takeout ive had since moving home from boston, pork buns were delicious- meat was tender and perfectly cooked and glaze was to die for, first time having musubi and ooooooh my god i will definitely be coming back just for that, onigiri was also good (salmon skin very crisp) but preferred the musubi, havent even tried the Katsu Curry Ramen yet but i know i'll love it and was so blown away by everything else i felt compelled to write a review before even trying everything lol also should note i literally never write reviews but this place was so good i wanted to i hope they have great business and never close :D

This was a weird experience since theyre usulky great but the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen was really bad this time. The broth was basically hot bitter water that had been waved over dashi; no flavor, no richness, hardly any sodium which is highly odd for ramen. And for $28, extra disappointing.
