| - I've heard about this place since it opened in 2016. So I finally made a trip on a Wednesday evening.
People, this ramen is fine, absolutely adequate and acceptable to pay cash money for, but please don't mistake this for amazing ramen.
Many of us have gotten through a time in our lives by surviving on Maruchan Ramen, or maybe even Ichiban, if you were feeling especially fancy. So that's the benchmark for me. If your ramen is not even as good as my old college staple, we got problems. I would say Morris is barely clearing the bar.
I tried the vegetable miso and the Morris. The Morris was fine, about what you would expect, needed more flavor, but had a nice mouthfeel to the broth. I would steer you away from the vegetable miso altogether, the broth generally lacked flavor and vegetable accoutrements had unpleasant textures that did not make for a good eating experience.
There are some other issues:
1. I do not want to sit on a box. A box in place of a chair does not make your space "modern" it makes for an uncomfortable sitting situation.
2. Add english in parentheticals to your menu. I love add-ins to my ramen, but if I have to keep asking what Moyashi is, I'm just going to give up. I like that they include the phonetic spelling of the Japanese names, but I also need to know what it is without Google Translate.
3. Keep my water glass full and don't leave in the middle of me asking questions! This is just part of being comfortable at a restaurant.
