| - I've visited here three times now, and each time I've been seriously underwhelmed. I don't hate it. Like the two-star rating says, "Meh. I've experienced better."
I've tried both the shoyu- and miso-based broths and each time I've left feeling unimpressed. I'd be willing to pay more for an impressive bowl of ramen, but it just seems like they're using canned chicken stock or something and adding either soy-sauce or miso, tossing in meat, noodles and whatever toppings that are requested.
The portions are huuuge. I haven't been able to finish a bowl of ramen here yet... but taking home leftover ramen feels pretty silly, since the noodles will expand and be weird and soggy by the time you're hungry again... so it ends up feeling wasteful to me. :(
The seating and interior are pretty cramped, with a huge communal table toward the the back. I don't know if installing such a huge communal table was the best idea, because it really dominates that back space there.
Service was prompt and friendly, but when I go out to eat, the most important thing to me is food. I can't say with confidence that the ramen here is remarkable. It's pretty good for the first few bites, but then I end up getting bored in the middle, and don't finish ever it. I can't say with confidence that I would come back here by choice, but wouldn't object if someone else was excited to go/give it a try.
