| - This place reminds me of Men-Oh in Little Tokyo in the settings. Walk in to a small entry way, stools greet you at the bar table and you turn in to a small room with tight seating. It's packed and you will be fortunate if you are seated right away. At the same time, both times we were there we only waited 5-10 minutes so they do turn them pretty quickly. Orders are taken promptly by pleasant wait staff, and your meal is turned around quickly as well, within 10 minutes.
Their ramen are overall the best I've had - not greasy, fresh, with nicely firm noodles - although from pure taste standpoint I probably prefer Hiromaru (RIP). Their fried rice is really good, as is the chashu don. These are more like side dishes from size standpoint, but probably too much for one person to have a ramen and one of these. Maybe 2 ramen dishes and one will work for two... I say that because they're really good and you should really try them.
Great atmosphere, bustling crowd, and great food all equal to the best ramen joint I have been to yet. It's probably more like 4.5 stars, but I want to differentiate between this and other 4-star places I've rated so I'm giving it a 5.
Table-for-1 Factor: Yes, and there are many who partake.
