| - Came here for the first time for lunch on a Friday. I ordered the salt and pepper tofu and the veggie ramen. Total was around $18 (not including tip).
What's Hot
- Quality. Yummers! The broth is nicely flavored and seasoned. For ramen, a nicely seasoned broth is super important. Not too salty. There's some pepper in the broth and green scallions, as well, which adds a nice kick. Their veggie ramen has the tasty button mushrooms (not the regular western white mushrooms), tofu (which is probably pan fried) and pieces of seaweed. Some of their ramen options come with a boiled egg, which looks like it's been slightly marinated/stewed, which adds to the flavor. My friend's ramen came with bak choy. It's nice to see they're including truly Asian veggies/sides in their dishes. Their salt and pepper tofu appetizer is slightly breaded and fried, but not overly so. It's nicely flavored- not too salty- and there's a slight kick. For me, it's important that fried food isn't overly/thickly battered. That usually means there's less flavor and you may be trying to hide something.
- Variety. There's something for everyone- vegetarian and non vegetarian, ramen dishes, stir fries with rice, etc...
- Price. Veggie ramen is $11 and the salt and pepper tofu is $6. Without tip, that's under $20, which isn't so bad.
- Location. It's a convenient location in downtown and within walking distance of many places. Because it's downtown, be prepared to walk here.
- Service. It was good and not bad, but be prepared for slowdowns when it's busy.
What's Not
- Reservation. This is only bad for those who do not know you really do need a reservation. That you need a reservation means this place is popular and does well, so be prepared. My friend made a reservation for a Friday lunch, people. When we arrived, they couldn't find the reservation, but were able to find a table for us in the back. My friend said the restaurant may have lost her reservation, because she made it too early. Early?? Uh, she made the reservation one week ago. How is that too early? It looks like this place gets busy fast, especially during the weekdays.
- Portions. Their ramen is a decent size, but it's small. It's not enough to get full. If you're looking for a fully satisfying meal, in terms of portions, I recommend you order their stir fries.
Final Answer
Willing to come back, but make a reservation!
