This place has been reviewed by a lot of people and I'm surprised to see mixed reviews but I feel like ramen is something that can be controversial, since it is such a simple dish.
Came here for lunch today and didn't have to wait (bonus!). The staff are knowledgeable and attentive, which was appreciated. It definitely didn't have a vibe as authentic as some other ramen places, like Kinton or Marutama. It would have been nice if they offered tea.
Anyway, we ordered the pork buns, momofuku ramen and sorrel juice and iced green. All fabulous choices .
Pork buns were amazing. Melted in your mouth and the buns were the right amount of fluffy. The hoisin sauce gives it a bit of tang before the cucumber cools your palate. The momofuku ramen was quite tasty as well. I loved that the egg was poached and then make a nice thicker broth once you mix it in. I think the combo was a bit heavy. I'm going to try the pea ramen and chicken wings next time. I didn't find anything too salty, contrary to what other reviewers wrote. It was a nice broth and the noodles were perfectly al dente.
I would definitely come back. More things to try.
