I may be spoiled having lived in Seattle last year and had some amazing ramen there and I was really excited to see this place open, but I was so disappointed. I ordered the kim chi ramen that comes with chicken, kim chi, and green onions with a shoyu base. There only 2 choices for base in the whole menu, shoyu or miso, which is disappointing. I agree with others that it is lacking the tonkotsu base which authentic ramen places typically have. Also the extra ingredients al la carte list is really limited, though when I asked about fish cakes and mushrooms (not on the list) they actually did have them and let me add them (though didn't have different varieties of fish case or mushrooms as most places would have). I'm really glad I added extra because the amount of chicken I was given was pathetic--just a few miniscule pieces of poor quality chicken (gristly, dry, all dark meat). The green onions were also few and cut longways in huge pieces. And there was only a few pieces of kim chi apparent. And the sauce other than the flavor of the kim chi was completely bland. It tasted like boiling water with a little bit of kim chi flavor in it. It was thin and not complex or interesting at all. And after spending $15 on it, it is much pricier than much better ramen I've had elsewhere. The decor was nice and service friendly, but not enough to make up for the disappointing ramen :(
UPDATE: I went back again and will upgrade this to 3 stars since what I had this time was much better and more flavorful. I think it was called the Yan Tan Men? and it had ground beef and spinach with a spicy orange broth. I don't know what was in the broth exactly but it was way more tasty and flavorful than what I had last time. But my issues from the earlier review still remain. I think this place has potential though and I'll give it some time.
