  • I was so looking forward to trying this new ramen bar as it seemed to have a lot of franchise support backing it up. Walking by at night since it opened a week or so ago with people lined up outside made me wonder also. Was it that good or were they just great marketers? Well the answer seems to be partly both. I think they built up a bit of hype being the new kid in town and hailing from the US. The reviews have however been spotty so far. So decided to give it a try at lunch the other day. Snuck in at 11:30 just before the noon rush. A few minutes later and we would have been lined up waiting for a table. We ordered a few things to try out. Edamame - standard fare. Can't really do this one way better or way worst than average. Sashimi salmon with cilantro - rather ordinary. Salmon was average and the soya sauce with cilantro and jalapeños was just meh. Crispy chicken 5 piece - juicy and tender but quite salty. I think some good Korean KFC is way better. Then the real test. Ordered the thick noodle tonkatsu ramen. Noodles were chewy and very nice. Broth was fairly salty and didn't have the subtlety of other ramen places. Fatty pork was average. They gave a whole soft-ish boiled egg which was good. I sort of like the half cut one to see how well they could really cook it. The best concept was that you could get a noodle refill for $1.75. So when you are almost done with your first order, you place another order for another batch of noodles. So in ~ 5 minutes from ordering, they give you a plate of steaming noodles to dump into your remaining broth. Sweet. This accomplishes a couple of things. First the extra noodles remain chewy and al dante versus sitting in the broth for a long time. The replacement batch of noodles is piping hot so it acts like another new bowl of noodles sans all of the pork, egg, onions etc that you slurped up the first time. Tried the regular thin noodles and my preference is for the thick version which actually costs you an extra $1.75 surcharge. But worth the extra cost in my opinion. So appetizers a 3. Ramen with the bonus noodle refill concept pushes that part up to a 3.5. Overall nice addition to the 4h street dining scene which now has almost anything you want form burgers to high end dining and from various ethnicities. Foodie heaven!
