it's been forever since i've written yelp reviews. time to contribute!!
i can only guess how many fake reviews and crappy reviews i've read. in the last two weeks i've received three inbox requests to write for $15 a pop.
this isn't one of them (or is it...?) i kid.
so. kinton.
well, the setting is nice and tight. it's not too loud, but still bustling. don't go here for a serious conversation... that is longer than 20 seconds or the 10 minutes waiting for seats (in my experience).
noodles. nice bite. i don't feel like points should be awarded for proper texture. having said that, mushy, overdone noodles should never, ever appear.. well, anywhere.
broth. i got a light version and my friend got the fatty version. though my sip of her broth was tasty, i felt as though a blind left-handed child had tried to slather vasoline on my lips with his right hand and then, i drank ghee.
i downed my cocktail (not memorable) to degrease my esophagus and wiped my lips down. only then could i be sure that i might actually taste my broth with a somewhat cleansed palate.
not bad. NOT "raaaaaaaah! omg. so good. must stand in line. holy crap."
i just don't get these food fads.
having said that. decent service, great location, and appropriate price points.
