I have no idea about the background of this place but apparently according to the friends I went with its super popular and one of the best places for Ramen.
First time trying specifically Ramen and in all honesty the only reason I waited in line outside for over half an hour was because:
1) it was not that cold
2) I was outvoted 3 to 1 to eat here
So after that wait where most of it was spent watching people inside eat we were seated and served pretty quick. This place is crammed, its like school cafeteria seating where the dining experience does not matter. Kind of place where you are expected to eat and get the f*k out so the next in line can be seated.
The menu - mainly pork dishes, so for myself off the bat it did not seem that great with not much description given to the menu items or the types of soup.
I went with a combo dish which included some rice and the spiciest Ramen dish for $16. Yes it tasted great but not worth the wait outside.
Would only ever come here again if there was absolutely no line.
