This is a small restaurant along the light rail in South End. The crowd is generally younger, and it can get very busy, although I've never had to wait longer than 15 minutes for a seat. If you're eating alone it's easy to get a seat at the bar.
I eat here when I want to get full. The noodle bowls are probably the best deal on the menu for the amount of food per dollar. Other dishes don't seem like they're worth the pricetag.
The atmosphere is busy but not too loud, and for some reason doesn't feel crowded to me. The staff is friendly.
