This place has great potential, if not already amazing.
Cool ambience; great Toshiro Mifune posters in the back hallway! Our waitress was pleasant and sweet, the only issue was her lack of familiarity with shochu. She was young and it was completely forgivable.
We had the raviolo small plate - amazing! My friend ordered the Hakata ramen which looked fantastic. He consumed that entire bowl in record time. I ordered the Tsukemen because I enjoy cold noodle dishes. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the "rich dipping broth". Perhaps I am unfamiliar with traditional tsukemen, but I at least thought I could consume the broth. The menu does not describe it as spicy nor oily which is all that it was (and I am no wimp to spice either). It was full of chili flakes and after every bite, my lips were slick with oil. Not sexy. There was no depth of flavor and pretty unpalatable in my opinion. I asked if they had another broth to use, then declined because I did not want a ramen broth substitute (though that would have been much better). I would suggest this place describe how spicy/oily it is, or better yet, completely redesign their tsukemen broth. All the side items and noodles with this dish were delightful.
In the end, I gave it 3 stars because I think I ordered one of their weaker items and so many dishes looked fantastic. I will definitely return.
