This place is so good!! By far our favorite ramen place in McKinney. We've gone about four times since it opened and it's just as good whether you eat there or take it to go! Highly recommended!!

Happened to stop in today on their grand opening day! We tried their full-ramen set and weren't disappointed. We picked the paitan and the onigiri of the day was the salmon onigiri. The paitan was flavorful - nitamago (egg) had a very distinct flavor, menma (bamboo shoot) was definitely very strong - but the fatty bits in the broth stole the show. The salmon onigiri was a bit dry but the rice and seaweed was on point. Place was a bit small, but staff were incredibly friendly! Will be returning!

My family and I ordered many things and it was all delicious! We went during their soft opening so there were some food items that weren't available yet, but the menu looked great! I myself had the Miso Ramen and the bowl was much bigger than I was expecting! For $16.99, I'd say it was well worth it!Definitely will be back!

The Paitan has the best broth in DFW. Great customer service as well. Would love to see tsukemen on the menu!

Excellent! We walked in and were greeted with lovely service. The staff was tentative and kind. The ambiance truly resembled a ramen shop from Japan! The staff are Japanese as well. The overall experience felt like home. Now to the good part... the food. What a cultivation of lovely traditional flavors. Onigiris tasted just like mom's but with a special twist! The karaage was perfect and the yuzu sauce was the best!! The fish in the hand-rolls were fresh and the topping paired nicely. Ramen was a delight. The owner study traditional ramen technique in Japan. I cannot recommend this place enough! I saw lots of take out orders too, so that is a nice option if you don't want to dine-in. **I do want to note that it can be a little bit difficult to get to but it is truly a hidden gem.

Great new Ramen and Sushi joint at the McKinney/Frisco border... Restaurant decor is really cool, like you are stepping into a small restaurant in Shinjuku! The ramen was excellent, I really enjoyed the spiciness of the broth. Price for the serving size was on par. Service was great and the wait staff were super attentive. Will be back!!!

Just tried this place out and I do have to say my ramen was very tasty!!! The pork was cooked perfectly and not fatty at all which I highly appreciate! The hostess took my to-go order and she was very kind and helpful. My only grievance is that it is a bit pricier than most ramen joints in the McKinney/DFW area. $2.99 to add an extra egg.. and $16/$17 for the ramen. After tax it was $22. Not bad but it should be under $20 easily for all of that. Even with inflation the last few years. I feel they would get more frequent regulars if they just lower price a tad. Needless to say, nice looking menu, nice folks, and my ramen was delicious.

First and foremost, this spot is new so there are limited reviews which we checked out before heading to this spot. Don't let that deceive you, this is a must try! We moved to McKinney in June and couldn't wait for them to open. WELL WORTH THE WAIT!! The food was delicious, spot is extremely clean and tucked away in an assuming spot. To kick off our meal we had the seaweed salad which is light and fresh. Karage was a delicious well flavored starter as well! We had the Miso Spicy Ramen with seared Pork Chashu and Paitan with Chashu which was so delicious. Both broths were well flavored and the servings were hearty for sure! They also were able to accommodate my allergy to spicy foods which was incredible! More than just the food, the service was top tier. Everyone was so attentive and it felt family owned. We will definitely be back and love that this gem has been added so close to home!

We have high expectation on this place due to the good reviews. First visit today and really don't know where is the good reviews come from. 1. Never had such a disgusting ramen. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen (what they called Paitan). The soup is worse than the instant noodles from the grocery. There is only salty flavor. No pork bone flavor. Surprised to find a lot of little pieces of fat residues in the broth. They obviously did not even use pork bone. But something frozen and ready made but add pork lard to try to add some flavor. It's not ramen broth at all. Very disgusting! The cha siu is very thin and fatty. The ramen portion is small. 2. My hubby does not want pork and prefer chicken. They told him to order chintan. From the menu and the waitress, this is supposed to have no pork but chicken broth only. But ended up the broth has a bunch of pork residue as well. He was trying to be nice and did not return it. They do not have any option for chicken ramen. This option comes with cha siu3. It was before 1pm on Sat but they were out of chicken kraage already. 4. The host was rude. She asked us if everything is ok and we told her about the issue. She has no response on the broth issue. Every customers were offered lucky draw but she did not offer us just because we were honest to give her feedback. If she doesn't want to know then why ask us? We are just not the American who would just pay high price for everything even with low quality. The only good thing is fried geso but it's nearly $10 for 4 little pieces only. There are many places much better quality and better value for money. I would rather cook instant noodles at home than give business to this place
