| - Full disclosure: this was my first time at a ramen restaurant and I am by no means a ramen expert.
I might just not have a 'sophisticated' enough palate, but I found my ramen dish to be so, so gross. I took one bite and would not eat any more. I got the corn butter ramen with the shio base, and the main note in the aroma was reminiscent of just straight hot cat pee. I was gagging before I took one bite of noodle, but in the interest of being, you know, brave and well rounded and all that, I was committed to trying at least one bite of noodle. I found the noodles to be gummy/tacky and almost stale tasting.
My husband, on the other hand, hand the shoyu base and he thought his was excellent.
Other reviewers commented that the service was rude - we didn't find that at all. It's a very, very small restaurant and the turn tables quickly so don't go here expecting to have a nice leisurely meal. They put menus and instructions right up front, and the idea is that you should be ready to order immediate upon being seated. They ask you three rapid-fire questions and then they're gone so read the menu and instructions up front and be prepared.
I am going with 3 stars to split the difference between my 1 and my husband's 5 star opinions.
