My brother and I dropped into this joint from out of town and hungry for lunch. The first thing we noticed was their noodles - they hand make them. I was sold.
So, we sat down at the rail and ordered some Tonkotsu Ramen and Takoyaki (a personal favorite of mine). While the Ramen wasn't the best over ever had - it was still damn good. The noodles were on point.
That said, the Takoyaki was delicious. It's the closest I've found to the real thing in Japan. If you don't like squid, however, these aren't for you.
We did like this place enough to bring my Mom and Sister back for a visit. This time I had a hirata bun, which I thought was good. On this visit the service was a bit lackluster, but we did wait 10-15 mins for a seat and the place was packed, with plenty more customers on a wait, so I don't hold this against them.
One thing that I rather enjoyed was the atmosphere. It has a feeling of a ramen shop in Japan, even though it is still much larger than many you'd find over there. The service and food was quick, as expected when it comes to ramen. Turns out after my brother and I left my extended family visited twice at different times. It's definitely worth your time and taste buds.
