Given the poor reviews, I wasn't expecting much but some noodles would hit the spot and I was on foot and they were close by. I started with a Kirin and assorted Tempura. The shrimp were good but I prefer less batter. Not a big fan of broccoli Tempura but they were properly done in two bite pieces. The zucchini and yam were delicious, perfectly cooked with the right amount of batter. Next was the Spicy Pork Ramen, and it delivered, plenty spicy for me. The amount of meat was sufficient but not what I'd call generous. But still enough I didn't feel cheated. Just a little spendy for a rustic interior. I would come again if in the neighborhood, it's too far to walk to Shikiji.
