🍜 RAMEN FRIDAY — TOMORROW! 🍜

🔥 Jiro-style Ramen 🔥

Inspired by the bold, hearty ramen style known for rich pork broth, pork fat, bean sprouts, and lots of garlic.

Our version comes with:
🥩 Shoulder Chashu
🥚 Ajitama
🌱 Bean sprouts
🐷 Pork fat (Seabura)
🧄 Fried garlic for extra crunch & flavor

We’re keeping the bean sprouts more balanced than the traditional Japanese style and using fried garlic instead of raw garlic for a crispy, roasted flavor.

🍜 Regular noodles — our own take on Jiro-style!

Regular $16.99
🌶️ Spicy $17.99
🌶️🌶️ Extra Spicy $18.99

⚠️ Limited quantities available!

🚧 Asphalt work is happening again today!

The crew is back to finish the asphalt installation that couldn’t be completed last time due to the weather.

Unfortunately, our landlord didn’t give us any advance notice, so we’re very sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. 🙏

For parking, you can use the parking lot at the next building, park across the street, or use the street parking in front of the plaza.

Thank you so much for your understanding and patience! ❤️
