“Very tasty local dishes! Highly recommended!! Comforting food, warm atmosphere, very welcoming. Aside of the great noodles and tender meat, the broth is divine! We've been here five years ago and very happy to return again today.”

“We came here because the place got like 300plus reviews. Maybe its just me, I didnt feel the spark. The broth is quite silky however the bone was still hard. I wish they could cook the ribs a bit longer? The taste also rather light, like too light for us to appreciate it. We had better soba in other places..”

“The broth was not as thick as the one at the airport (which felt more of a tonkotsu ramen than a soba), and the meat serving was generous. Overall a normal Okinawan soba. I normally cannot finish and entire serving so I've ordered the smaller size and finished everything. :)”
