Found a spectacular ramen place in Madison near the capital. Ordered three different types of ramen and they each had distinct flavor of broth. With excellent chewy texture of noodles and fresh ingredients, they were all quite good. Strongly recommended.

Went there or tried to go there for a friends birthday and the server was incredibly rude to us. When we got there he said it would be an hour wait which is fine I wasn't gonna complain even though it didn't look that busy but then we were debating on if we wanted to sit at the bar and decided not to which I will say I understand the server being annoyed at that because as someone who has worked in customer service and understands what its like to deal with annoyances it can be a struggle. However the reason I am giving this place such a bad review is because this server kicked us out of the restaurant for no good reason. We weren't disturbing the peace or causing a scene or anything of that matter. I have never been treated so disrespectfully while dining out and I hope that server learns a lesson in humility as he needs it. This is the first negative review I have ever written and I don't plan on coming back.

Used to be a great place but has gone downhill significantly. Service was poor (but grace given because I could tell our server was new) and food was just ok but not worth the price anymore. The inexcusable part though was a server spilled ramen on my partners down coat that was on the back of her chair and did not bother to notify us, she only noticed when she went to go to the restroom and her hood was filled with oily meat broth. There is no way they didn’t notice the spill, it was significant and all over the floor. Now we have to launder an expensive down jacket after going out to dinner. No discount offer, not even an offer to comp our drinks.

My brother and I got the morris special and the ramen was phenomenal! We also added more pork belly and it was cooked to perfection. It was also pretty busy but we were served immediately.

Found this place by accident almost what a awesome gem.. had the morris ramen and the spicy ramen which I would add wasn’t spicy at all definitely add the spice bomb if looking for heat other wise the broth was amazing only other issue was the noodles had a lot of stuck together clumps if it wasn’t for that it would have got 5 starts

The most authentic Japanese ramen in all of Madison! I've tried every ramen location in town, and this comes the closest in terms of flavor and ingredients to ramen served in Japan.

The food was okay. The ramen noodles weren't what I was hoping for, but the miso broth was tasty.
The staff were above and beyond amazing and the atmosphere was cozy and aesthetic.
I ordered the vegan donburi and it was pretty good. Could have used more sauce.
I was thrown off that they didn't have kewpie for the karaage. The satsuma fries were good. But the drinks! The nyango star is am absolute MUST!
