Their air conditioning is not working even though they will tell you it is. Super sweaty and hot inside throughout whole dining experience tonight.
Let me start off by saying they do not know how to answer a phone. Called their twice and a gentleman just picks up the phone and says hello never stating the business name. First time I thought I had the wrong number and when I tried to explain what I wanted he handed the phone off to someone else. It happened again the second time I called as well. They definitely need to get better phone customer service for sure.
Tried the fried goyza as an appetizer. Nothing special there. The sauce they gave you with it is super spicy. So beware. Then ordered the Hokkaido style cha shu ramen which turned out to be prety salty compared to the Kyoto style ramen which they deem being as being fruity. The cha shu pork wasn't tender enough to fall apart when trying to cut it up with chopsticks and a spoon like other ramen places. Bamboo shoots we're extremely hard and tough as well. Noodles seemed strange to me compared to other ramen joints also. Did like the fact that they gave you ground pork in there as well is that with the first time I've tried that and all the ramen experiences I've had which is quite a few.
Overall for the price it was a very large portion and through the end of July they have freebies on extra noodles and extra corn so you don't have to pay for it. Ended up taking half of it home and l'll have a nice lunch for tomorrow. I just need to remember to drink lots of water to flush the salt from my system. Service was very good despite the AC not working.
I guess over all the 3 stars is because their AC was not working and I just did not like the ramen very much compared to other places such as Monta Chaya, Ramen Sora or Fukumimi. This place did not stand out for me so I probably won't be going back there.
