| - Like most small restaurants in Japan, this joint does one thing and does it right...ramen noodle soup. The noodles have just the right amount chew, and the chili goma flavours were in perfect balance with the spice, the nuttiness, the pork, and the earthy mushroom+bamboo all evident without any one overpowering. The right amount of fat was present to provide a satisfying mouth feel. A bowl is $14, but that's reasonable considering how delicious it is, and that it almost breaks my rule of not eating something larger than my head.
Besides ramen, a small number of appetizers are available. A small place with about 8 chairs at the bar (where you can watch the food being prepared), and about 12 tables, they do not take reservations. If there gets to be a line, wait. It's worth it.
