The place is always full of people so I was really looking forward to trying out their ramen. Ramen-Ya is also referred as Kurobuta Izakaya. Kurobuta is berkshire pork, the very best. It's a pork equivalent of Kobe beef. We went for an early lunch on a Saturday. Unfortunately the ramen simply falls short, because of their broth. Ramen broths are tricky to make. It needs to be fresh, rich and flavorful. Their broth is fresh, but lacks the other two essentials. Maybe that why it's called Ramen-Ya when I search it in Yelp. :-)
