What to Order
3 dishes
Niboshi Ramen
$20.00
The house signature — a deep, inky broth built on dried sardines and pork that arrives smoky and mineral-forward, with a lingering savory finish unlike any other bowl in the city
Chashu Pork
$5.00
Slow-braised pork belly slices served either as ramen topping or a side, tender through to the fat layer with a soy-mirin glaze
Ajitsuke Tamago
$3.00
Soft-boiled marinated egg with a jammy, soy-darkened yolk — a standard but executed well here, worth adding to any bowl
