| - Just an (honestly and truly) awful experience. Aside from the polite and expedient gentleman that packaged and rung my order, there are no redeeming qualities to ensure my return. The entire experience was confusing, repulsive, and pricey given the overall positive reviews provided.
My fiancé and I ordered two bowls of the pork ramen and an order of the steamed buns totaling to $40, which would've been more satiating to watch burn in my hands.
Do not order the pork ramen. The protein in the bowl was literally ground pork with barbecue sauce, there were a mere two stalks of bok choy, minimal dressing (scallions/sesame/etc...), and the traditional half of a soft boiled egg. There was barely a ladle of broth in each bowl, which was neither sufficient nor palatable! It's as is if they attempted to marry the broth with kimchi, which resulted in something more putrid than pleasing. Nothing seemed fresh, which was so disappointing after a long day at work.
Please coach your staff to keep their cell phones in the back and the sports chatter to a minimum; or at least learn to read the room. Guests were quietly enjoying drinks and dinner-- it isn't a sports bar.
I pride myself in being the furthest thing from a picky eater and someone who can forge through any meal for the sake of being polite, but I was physically repulsed by my ramen. I literally gagged mid-meal. Both my fiance and myself had to chalk it up to a loss and toss the meal, for fear of getting sick.
Next time, I'll make the trek across town where the ramen never disappoints. Never again--you couldn't even get a "So-So" review from me, SoSoBa.
