I was excited to check this place out. It gave me an excuse to get off the Strip and to be a block off Fremont St. It's in a classic building in a small, intimate space.
What was immediately disappointing was the lack of hospitality. We waited for a hostess for about 3-4 minutes at which point I started to make my way to the dining area. The bartender told me to hang on for a second and they would be with us.
It was probably another 3-4 minutes until she greeted us. Even at that point it was a little half ass as she basically strongly insisted as sit in the bar area than wait 5 minutes for a party to leave. I thought that was odd but for her it was the path of least resistance. The bottom line is the bar area doesn't nearly have the ambiance of the dining room.
After we were seated the waiter was really good. I was happy to see Asahi on draft and impressed with their whiskey list although I didn't order any. I had the ramen - Tonkatsu with the thick noodles and I added mushrooms. I felt it needed a little kick so I added some Shiracha. I didn't want to do the typical miso and glad I went with a different base because it was really good.
Outside of the situation with the hostess, this place was cool with good ramen and I would definitely come back.
