Well.. So I came back for a couple reasons. I started to feel an illness coming on therefor soup was the obvious answer, but on a Saturday night I didn't want to wait to get seated at other more popular ramen shops. I did like the broth here from the Shiro miso and so decided to give it another shot.
I discovered the last time I was here, they did forget to give me the chashu with the CHASHU ramen. We were the only customers at the time so can't chalk it up to being rushed.
This time, my bf and I ordered the Mame miso chashu ramen, 2 orders of karaage, a hot tea and edamame. At 8pm on a Saturday, they were out of edamame and had only 4 pieces left of chicken for one order of the karaage(a normal order as stated on the menu comes with 5). We were told about the edamame when we ordered but didn't find out about the karaage until after the rest of the order had arrived. At this point my bf lost his appetite but forced himself to eat his measly 4 pieces. During this time another couple had arrived, been seated and was served their tea and ramen before we received anything. My hot tea arrived 30 seconds before my ramen. Why even bother? It already defeated the whole purpose. Maybe I'm not used to the Mame miso but the whole bowl was SOOOOO salty! The chashu was huge and meaty compared to others, but very chewy. Our waiter never came back to check on us. Never refilled our water. The woman(I think maybe the owner or manager) kept asking if we were ok repetitively seeing our disdain. Well what do you really want us to say? She ended up charging half price on the karaage. Weee! A whopping $2 off! We paid our bill with tip. As we were leaving she literally ran after us to the door still asking us if we were ok and thanking us. Sorry, but we won't be returning. I was really hopeful this time.
