After driving back from Hollywood for a weekend trip, I got home tired and hungry. I called in an order for two Karl Katsu's with Tonkotsu broth. Having ordered pho and ramen for pickup before, I asked if they separated the noodles to prevent them from getting soggy and gross. They said not only could they do that but that they typically separate all the toppings from the broth.
Cut to 10 minutes later I pick up the two bowls which have nothing separated. Not a deal breaker but a bummer. At least I hadn't thought it was a deal breaker.
Not mentioned on the menu are the confetti shreds of seaweed in the ramen. Unfortunately it's an intolerable flavor for me. I definitely would've asked for it to be removed. The way it's cut makes it impossible to remove plus the flavor is released into the broth immediately.
The ramen was inedible. The katsu chicken was soggy and lacked any texture. The seaweed wrecked shop on the broth. If the toppings were separated, I could have at least given the thing a chance. Just like that, out $27 and I still had to eat something else.
We tried to pawn it off on the kids who were excited as they like Cherryblossom. Text message a few minutes later: "Mom take the ramen back. It's bad."
Maybe I'll go for drinks but I won't be back for ramen. Consider some standard setting on your takeout orders.
