  • Came to this Michelin recognized ramen house to see if it really lives up to the hype, but sadly the only major difference I saw was the price. We came around 3 pm to purposely avoid the prime lunch and dinner hours but still waited around 20 mins for a table. The tables are spaced very far apart (a good thing usually, but not when you have to wait so long for a table because of insufficient seating). Also noticed the servers are very slow in cleaning the tables once the customers leave, resulting in a slow turnaround and even longer wait times. We ordered the Signature Clam Broth Shio Ramen ($14), Smoky Black Tonkotsu Ramen ($13) and Braised Pork Belly Don Rice ($6). Unlike every other ramen restaurant, the egg is an extra $1.50 here. When we ordered, the server asked us if we wanted water or green tea without telling us that the tea is an extra $1. Compared with Kinton ramen, I can get the same Shio ramen with char-siu, egg, and complimentary tea for $10.99 instead of $16.50 here (that's 50% more expensive)! I don't mind paying extra for premium ramen, but nickel and diming customers over egg and tea is ridiculous. The signature shio ramen was good, and you can definitely taste the clam broth, but I found it a little too watery. I much prefer the creamier and thicker smoky black tonkotsu broth. I would have to say the broth here is the only thing better than the other regular ramen places (Kinton, Kenzo, Santosei, etc...). However, after drinking most of the broth, I was extremely thirsty in the evening. So likely the broth was loaded with salt. The noodles are decent, but I think I prefer the other places. The extra $1.50 egg was slightly undercooked and more on the raw side rather than the usual soft-boiled creamy consistency. The char siu was extremely lean and had no flavor at all. Very bland and wasn't good. The pork belly rice on the other hand was overly fatty and half of the meat was pure fat that we didn't eat. The only thing this place does well is the ramen broth. For everything else, I would prefer my nearby Kinton ramen. I'm not going to pay for parking, wait so long to get a table, and pay 50% more just for a marginally better broth and sacrifice the juicy char-siu that I can get elsewhere. Was good to try but unlikely will come back.
