| - Ramen is one of my favorite foods. Saw that this place had opened, but had no interest coming here since I already have my usual ramen spots around town. Then one night, we decided to eat somewhere different because sometimes going to Chinatown can be a real headache.
When we walked in, only one table was occupied and the restaurant was very clean. As I was browsing the menu, the food didn't appeal to me. I know I'm being petty, but my preference is to keep things simple. Throwing 7 different toppings on ramen may make it look pretty, but it doesn't make the taste excellent. Unfortunately, they also didn't have any toppings that I usually eat with my ramen. Would have preferred (and paid for) other options like kamaboko, beef, or even tofu. But you can't have everything, right? NBD, I ended up ordering the Miso Ramen with just chasu and corn. The broth was just okay. It wasn't the best that I tasted, but it also wasn't super bland or disappointing. Did not like their thick noodles and the fatty charsu. One more thing I have to add is that we tried the Kokoro Japanese Style Fries, which looked good from the photos here on yelp. Guess I wasn't a fan of the Oknomi sauce, which made it kind of sweet. For me, fries should not taste sweet for any reason, lol.
On a side note, customer service was friendly and attentive. My husband also liked his ramen better than I liked mine. Maybe I'll give this place another chance in the future. But when I eat ramen, I need to love it. So I'll be going back to my usual spots!
