| - I came here with my boyfriend for lunch on Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is right off of Gilman and Johnson, so parking is tricky depending on when you go. The interior of the restaurant is cute and has a Japanese feel with an American touch. The walls are plastered with Anime and Miyazaki stickers and memorabilia, which was fun guessing which sticker belonged to which show while we were waiting.
Service was dependent on how many people were there. There is one server, and she was either very busy or not (no happy medium). We came when the restaurant was pretty full, so we found the service a tad spotty.
Food was pretty good (especially for the price!). For $7.50, I received hot ramen with pork, egg, and broth. I was slightly disappointed that my soft boiled egg's yolk was hard, but it didn't take away from the meal. My boyfriend and I ordered the Tonkatsu (his was spicy and $0.50 more expensive). I preferred his over mine, so if you like spice, definitely opt for the spicy option. I wish there were more veggies (mushroom, cilantro, onions, sprouts, and ESPECIALLY seaweed), so I found the broth lacking.
Fried dumplings were alright, but if we were going to get another combo, we would order the extra noodles option instead of dumplings. Overall, I wasn't blown away, but I had a very pleasant experience.
