| - I love ramen! I have wanted to try this place for the longest time but their hours were so late 3pm-3am. I was off yesterday, and no one wanted to go with me, so I just went by myself!
I was seated immediately as there was just a party of 1. They sat me at the bar, and took my order quickly. The waitress asked if I had been there before and when I told her I hadn't, she explained the menu and reccommended her favorite dish which had chicken and pork broth. I love pork, so I ordered the tonkotsu assari. It came out immediately. The broth was actually a lot lighter than what I am used to. I like my broth heavy and thick. There were plenty of veggies on top. At first I was scared that it'd be all veggies, but my noodles were hiding underneath the mountain of bean sprouts. The noodles were the only noodleson the menu that were thick. One of the reviews complain there was only 1 piece of chasu, but mine had 3 pieces.
My younger sister last minute wanted some ramen, so I order the spicy chicken ramen with a spice flavor of hot for her. That order actually took a little bit longer as it got more crowded. Her noodles were thinner and the broth was more of a chicken flavor. I did like the spice level of her ramen broth. When I ordered the noodles for take out, they put the noodles in one container and the broth in another container. The garnishes are on top of the noodles. My sister just put the noodles in the broth, and it tasted wonderful. They do have a drive through coming soon, which is probably how they will package that. I wonder how the drive through is going to work as the noodles do take a while to cook...
Just a minor complaint. I like spicy as I am part Korea, but they didn't have any chili oil. Sadness. They did have chili powder and spicy sauce, but it just wasn't the same without my chili oil.
The service was really good, and they waitresses checked on me several times to ensure that everything was okay. It just didn't taste better than what I expected.
