The new arrival has already attracted fans thus far, with a 4.5-star rating out of 34 reviews on Yelp.

Dean B., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Oct. 22, wrote, "...The Original Tonkotsu and the Creamy Tonkotsu... were very good. The broth is everything... The chashu pork is so decadent, but also very delicate."

Yelper Jay K. added, “...[The Spicy Chicken Miso]... was loaded with chicken and chashu... The protein to noodle to soup ratio was sublime. The soup was exceptionally rich and tasty. There's a sure difference in quality and technique when it comes to making ramen and these guys hit the nail on the head. Not overly salty and had all the flavor perfectly there.”

Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Ramen Koo is open from 11:30 a.m.–10 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and 11:30 a.m.–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
