I visited with my son and we had an amazing experience. We ordered a sparkling green tea each, along with edamame, vegan ramen and a mango mousse. Everything was delicious, and the attention to detail with every aspect of the presentation was excellent. The service was fantastic, both of the owners came to chat with us and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We will definitely be back!

Great place for tasty ramen and gyoza. At 120 for 5 gyoza and 260 for a tasty pork (cerdo) ramen, you can't complain. They offer soy sauce and a spicy sauce for the gyoza and the ramen had a lovely crispy pork slice with a few little bits, a perfect egg, slices of naruto, spinach, I believe it was thinly sliced kanpyo, some mini corn, mushroom and a slice of something I couldn't name, but all went well in a rich broth.

Not sure what I expected prior to walking in. But it was just AMAZING. The service. The vibes. The music. The shrimp ramen! Haha I am still in shock on how delicious that tasted. From how lightly breaded the tempura shrimp was, to how refreshing and unique the sake cocktails were. This place is such a great addition to this amazing city. Don’t let the emptiness scare you at first, because once you sit it will easily get crowded and you will feel at home once Giovanna walks up to your table.

Shrimp ramen was yummy - the broth reminds me of prawn noodles and had the umami flavour. The prawns were so delicious and well grilled. The tempura was pretty good as well. The watermelon/hibiscus drink just tasted like watermelon juice.

Wow! I had a craving for ramen, and I didn’t know what I was in for. This place really did not disappoint! Great service, great energy, and amazing food. I’m a bit to a ramen fiend and have had some of the best all over - this spot definitely competes! And big plus Oaxaca - they take credit card. Check them out!!

Ramen review #80 First of all, staff is very friendly. I older some gyoza to start with, it’s cook very nice and close to the traditional ones. Ramen, few element to make a good bowl of ramen! Don’t be fool by the size of it, I was full after finishing it. Broth, it’s nice and not too heavy, I nearly finsih all of them at the end. Egg, the egg they prep is prob one of the best flav I’ve tried in Mexico. Noodle, it’s nicely cook and not over done! Pork( cha shu) very large piece and good thickness, well balanced between meat and fat! Good job! I would totally come back if I have time!

Had the vegan ramen which tasted like home cooked miso noodles. The 5 pieces of tofu in it was surprisingly good! There’s also seaweed, mushrooms, carrots, wakame in the soup. Altogether a very satisfying dinner.

This was our second time here in 3 days.. we would have come again yesterday, but they are closed on Tuesdays. It was worth waiting a day to come back! My husband and I had the shrimp ramen. Rich tasty broth, beautiful presentation, and great service. We also got great suggestions of where to go in Oaxaca for food and art from Javier, the restaurant's friendly owner. In this city known for great Mexican food, it's nice to know that super delicious ramen is easy to find!
