| - I love ramen, so when I found out that one of the better chains finally opened a store uptown, I knew I had to give it a try. And what better than a nice hot bowl of ramen on a rainy cold day, which unfortunately is the weather we've been getting a lot lately.
I came here on a Wednesday around 1230 with a party of 3. We waited around 20 mins before we got a table. The waiting area is pretty small, and when we got here, the line was almost out the doors. So I definitely wouldn't want to come here during busy times in the winter, as most likely, you'll have to wait outside. Pretty much all the tables in the restaurant are big tables that seat 6-8 people, so if you come with a party of 4 or less, you'll most likely be sharing the table with another party.
By the time we were seated and ordered, it was around 1pm. I wanted to order the Spicy Tantan, however was told that it was already sold out. The menu does state that there's limited quantity for the Spicy Tantan broth, but I thought it ran out pretty quick, considering their lunch hours are from 12 - 3. Instead, I ordered the Tonkotsu Black with thin noodles. Service was pretty quick, the noodles came out within 15 mins. I loved the broth, it was very thick and creamy. The noodles were also a good texture, just the right level of chewiness. The best part of the ramen was the eggs, which were made perfectly. The bowl came with two pieces of pork belly, which were just average.
Overall, the ramen was pretty good, but I've definitely had better. However, given the limited options for good ramen uptown, I would come back again.
