This place serves me a shameless addiction in the form of a soup that is so full of flavor, especially when customized with the help of the friendly and experienced staff or owners/operators that frequently interact with guests, that I constantly crave it.
Pairs nicely with refreshingly cold japanese beers and authentic appetizers.
Go and try the ramen soup, as is (each broth has their own strengths) and enjoy the work that is brought by full time attention to the broth creation, and then come back and ask how you can customize it - Warning: your mind may melt.
Also, fairly empty on week nights and there are three different 'sections' with various ambiances to choose from. A quiet VIP lounge area with dim lighting and nice decor, an inviting bar with plenty of seating, and a dining room area that has great music playing.
(Note: The place, somewhat hard to find the first time around, is one block North of Myrtle and University, park and walk past the parking garage ramp)
