" I can't say enough good things about Baka Umai! The silky red tonkotsu is my absolute favorite; it's pure comfort in a bowl! The pork is always beautifully cooked, and the broth is rich and flavorful. The staff are kind and attentive. It's a cozy little spot that I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

" Amazing ramen! I took my family for dinner and we were all impressed. The kids loved the karaage chicken, and my spouse had the spicy ramen, which was truly delightful. The vibe was perfect for a casual family night. The owner even came by to chat, which added to the experience. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
