We are vegetarian and had no problem finding something to eat. The portions are huge and there are cool Japanese drinks. Service is quick and friendly. A great spot to go when it's cold and rainy. Noodles are perfectly cooked, the egg is perfectly cooked, and the broth is always so yummy.

Small cozy ramen shop that does the job. Tonkotsu: Get! This one had an amazingly rich broth that was a tad top oily/fatty for me. It was still tasty but my preference is a little bit cleaner for this. The noodles were great with a good bite and firmness to it. The pork belly was a big chunk of meat which I wasn't used to but meh it did the job. It's like $18 bucks though so it's definitely not that casual Service was super attentive and friendly and as a quick ramen stop... I was in and out in like 15 minutes. There's not that many tables or space though so it can get super crowded during meal times. At 2pm though it was quite easy and empty. Food: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 5/10 Value: 6/10

Pork in the tonkotsu ramen with kurobuta was tender with satisfying flavors that was not overpowering. A little pull with your chopsticks was enough to pull them apart. Woodear mushroom stood out because it was fresh and springy. Quality of noodles and broth were pleasing. Shoyu prime ramen overall did not have the same level of satisfaction and nothing special about the chicken gyoza. If I can go back, I wish I ordered an extra main dish like gyu don instead of the gyoza. The restaurant is nice and cozy with friendly service.

Quick, flavorful, and filling! For an appetizer, we got the Chicken Gyoza which came with a delicious dipping sauce. To eat, I had the Tonkotsu with Kuro Buta and pork belly as my meat. The broth was so rich and flavorful and the piece of pork belly was huge. The appetizer and ramen were enough to fill me up. The inside of the restaurant is nice and inviting, but a little crammed in the corner booth we were at. I would recommend a visit to Strings!

I always get the kinoko shoyu ramen. It’s absolutely delicious, so savory and filling. My favorite ramen I’ve ever had.

I got there just before close. They took my order and got it ready in good time. It was excellent. Of spice levels 1 through 5, I ordered level 4. Spicy as heck. Don't mess with this if you can't handle spicy foods. If you can, by all means give this a shot. Find a level that's good for you and get your order in. I enjoyed my meal at Strings.

Really great little ramen spot, our new go-to. Miso broth was flavorful, steak was tender. The baby octopus salad is great too. Best of all it’s BYOB!

Good selection of veg and non-veg items on the menu. Tried the Shoyu and Spicy Miso ramen. The noodles were definitely different from other ramen places, very fresh and chewy. Overall a good place to try, but it does get very busy on weekends and has limited seating.

I got the Tonkotsu spicy clam and pork ramen bowl and it was FANTASTIC. Great level of spicyness and robust flavor. $15 but it fills you up more than most ramen places will. Service was very good and they played cool indie music the whole time. Great vibes 10/10.
