Going to say this upfront - you guys need to get better hours. I get it that its "trendy" or whatever to get people to fight to the death for tables or something but if people need to pay for parking just to stand in line for 40 minutes that's annoying. Especially in minus 30 degree weather. So when YELP asks me if this place is good for groups I would give that a resounding NO.
ALSO one of the servers dropped a tray of water glasses and splashed me and when I got home I found a piece of glass in my boot. So please be more careful and please clean up accidents better.
Other than that my experience here was phenomenal, so 4/5 it is. We waited about 30 minutes overall for a table so I am glad the experience was worth the extra effort to eat here. You go in and sign up at the door and they seat you based on first come first serve. The interior is trendy. I had to do a double take on the Wu-tang symbol on the bathroom doors and I thought that was kind of cool. I personally don't mind sitting next to strangers, because I like to creep on people's food.
I got the garlic miso ramen and it was amazing. I ate every bite like the little piglet I am (and some of my girlfriends). I got tofu added and I'm glad I did because it was good and I like tofu. Noodles were cooked well and the pork was literally so tender. It was so delicious. We also had gyoza which was standard but not as phenomenal as the ramen. Our gyoza was also accidentally brought to another table before us so we didn't get it as an appetizer but it was OK we are not too concerned about it. We ended up getting it about 10 minutes after we got the ramen.
Service is good and staff are friendly. Lots of hipster dudes everywhere. Good music. I will definitely be back to this place when I come back to Cowtown.
