| - While I will plan to revisit this restaurant, based on the variations on the ramen theme ascribed to the menu, after trying the spicy ramen version I felt a little like someone who was supposed to hype themselves into excitement after seeing a movie with ubiquitous advertisements. Yes, all the components were there, a spicy but not "knock you on your @ss broth, an ample sized circular piece of chicken, noodles, mushrooms and the like. At the end of the $13 investment, I felt like there was a relatively monochromatic flavor profile. Noodles, after all, though necessary cannot provide more than a glutenous "bridge" to the other elements. Reliable sources have told me that the pork belly version fairs better, and I will look forward to trying it. The seaweed salad was good, and well presented-but I neglected to ask what manner of harvesting was used, as wild seaweed is known to include questionable ingredients not for consumption.
