" Great ramen experience overall! The broth was thick and packed with flavor. I tried both the black garlic and spicy miso ramen, and both were exceptional. The ambiance of the place is quite relaxing, and I could taste the authenticity in every bite. Plus, the prices are reasonable for the quality of food you get. It's a small restaurant, but that adds to the charm. It feels like you’re dining in a little piece of Japan! Just be aware of the limited parking; I ended up parking a few streets away. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I was blown away by the ramen at Kotoya! I had the spicy miso and it was packed with flavor. The noodles were perfectly textured and the chashu was on point. However, the place was really crowded which diminished the ambiance a bit. Also, it would have been nice to have the option to add more toppings without the extra cost. Overall, though, it’s a fantastic spot and I will definitely be returning soon for another bowl. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Kotoya for the first time recently and I was pleased with my experience overall. I ordered the spicy ramen, which was quite good, but I wished for a little more depth in the flavor profile. The broth was spicy and comforting, though, perfect for a chilly day. The service was efficient, with my meal arriving promptly. The vibe of the place is casual and cozy, making it a great spot for a quick meal. Portions were generous, ensuring you won't leave feeling hungry. I’ll be back to give another dish a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" A great find! I was really impressed with the black garlic ramen. It had a thick, rich broth that was very satisfying. The seating was a bit snug, but it reminded me of the ramen spots I frequented in Japan. The service was fast — I hardly had to wait for my order. Prices are fair, and you definitely get good portions for your money. I’ll be coming back again, especially for that delicious broth! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kotoya is absolutely my go-to ramen place in the city! It has a quaint, calm atmosphere reminiscent of the ramen shops I loved in Japan. I’ve tried several different ramens here, but the spicy miso remains my absolute favorite. The broth is savory and complex, and the noodles have a delightful chewy texture. I appreciate that they allow you to customize your spice level as well, which is perfect for me! As always, the service is efficient, and my food arrives in a timely manner. I highly recommend this spot to any ramen lover. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved it! The intensity of flavors in their spicy ramen is remarkable. The service was impressively quick and made my quick lunch possible. One thing to keep in mind is that the restaurant is quite small, so it might feel cramped at times, but it really adds to the authenticity. I tried some gyoza as well, which was a perfect companion to my ramen. I can't wait to return and try other dishes on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Kotoya for dinner last week, and we had quite a delightful experience. The spicy miso ramen was bursting with flavor, although I found it to be a bit on the salty side compared to what I’m used to. The staff greeted us with smiles, making the atmosphere welcoming. The only downside is that the seating is rather limited, which might make for a longer wait during peak hours. Still, I would recommend trying their signature dishes, especially if you're a fan of ramen. " (*Curated Review*)
