| - I think maybe 3 years ago, this would have gotten a 4 from me. There are just too many ramen shops around town now. But I will point out that the food here is good. I do come here pretty regularly. There's just something different about the place that I can't put my finger on it (from how it was 3 years ago). The atmosphere, the vibe, just seems different walking into it now than from before.
Oh and also, the menu used to be constructed so that I could walk in and say pork belly, spicy garlic broth, rich or regular (a three step process). Now it's a 6 or 7 step process. I don't know how I feel about this paradox of choice. I'm an eater not a thinker.
But anyway, I consider ramen soul food for some reason (anything in broth/soup is soul food to me =). And so I can always go and eat a bowl or ramen. And that's probably why I do eat here regularly. I like their spicy garlic soup the most (and in fact, I'm sure I haven't had any of the other soup)...I don't like change. If it works and if it makes me happy, I stick with it. It's not spicy, by the way. It is pretty good though. One down side to spicy garlic is that no one wants to come near me after I eat here, but it's worth it!
The shop is some what small (I find it interesting that other reviewers have said it's pretty large). It's a long shop, and has a bench table up front near the door. Then two areas of bar seatings. And then I think maybe two or three small tables in the back? (If that many). If you can visualize that, you can probably see that it's not particularly big...ANyway, the point of this is that depending on the time of the day (for example, lunch time), you might have to wait to get a seat, especially if you are with a group.
