OK - I chose this place because it was the review of the day. I read her review and it was awesome, but read some others that were negative and just thought those people were being annoying...
It truly is a cute little hole in the wall. There isn't a ton of room and it seems like a cool mom and pop place where you feel good spending your money. The thing is...the food just isn't that good! It sucks because I was so excited about the machine that makes the noodles and based on the good reviews I was so excited! We had the gyoza and the pork belly to start. Both were ok...nothing special...we ate them...and then shared the spicy ramen. The noodles looked, felt and tasted just like regular pasta to me...and the broth was ok... not as much flavor as I have had before or even made at home.
It just was either missing something or just not that special. The service was ok - nothing special just like the food. Its such a bummer to give not as good reviews - I kind of hate it really. I wanted so badly for this place to rock and be able to take friends and go more regularly, but it didn't do it for me. Unless someone I know goes again and tells me its the most amazing thing and they've changed and the flavors and food and service are the most amazing thing ever and I am an idiot for missing out, I probably won't go back here.
