[SERVICE: 4] The service was really great here - we came in with a party of 9 on new years eve and since they don't take reservations, when I called ahead of time he offered to hold a table for us. He was very patient with handling all 9 of our orders and answering our questions.
[ENVIRONMENT: 4] The place is medium sized and very clean. However the lighting is pretty dim. Bathrooms are also very clean and the trashcan is automatic!
[PRODUCT: 2] We ordered balls of fire (fried Mac n cheese balls with Sriracha - $1 during happy hour, $3 per ball regular) and tantaimen ($12). The mac n cheese inside the balls were very plain and lacking any real cheese flavor. The only good part about them were the breading and the spice from sriracha. The tantaimen had a lot of good sides and vegetables in the soup, however the noodles were very hard and clumped together. They seemed very undercooked, but the waiter did offer to remake the dish.
[OVERALL: 3] I came here on vacation as I am originally from California so in comparison to the ramen there, this place does not come close. It was a good experience but I would not come back here nor recommend it, at least not the noodle soup dishes.
