| - I really really wanted to like this place, I was kind of getting excited as it is a new place in Scottsdale for a ramen joint to open up and honestly, I'm not so sure why the ramen joints here in Phoenix all have the same similarity - Not great! :-(
Coming from Hawaii, I understand now, we are super spoiled! Its like we don't want to be to picky but, it's difficult when you come from having quality vs quantity!
My family and I came in last night 30 minutes before they were closing, I like the décor, having the menu on the wall, and the two little iPads where you need to place your order (sorta reminds me of Genki Sushi in Ala Moana Center). But, just an fyi you don't need to leave a 20% gratuity because they do not serve or bring it to table, you can probably tip just a few dollars, not a whole lot.
I had the Goma - House speciality and it wasn't that great at all. The broth, it was missing some flavors, didn't care for the peppers in our ramen and the cured egg was not tasty at all. It was marinated with some kind of sweet sauce and it was really cold, makes you wonder how can a warm broth have something cold in it. I couldn't eat it! The noodles wasnt anything excited, it was like it came from a package and separated in the broth. The char siu was definitely a disappointment very dry, no taste :-(
For appetizers we had the gyoza, my first bite into I thought I was eating sausage spaghetti. It was not your ordinary gyoza! All in all, it was like a asian joint mixed with Mexican cuisine.
I guess we will either start making our own ramen at home or continue onto our quest to find delicious ramen in a Arizona!
