Ramen restaurants I find are hit and miss, and while the quality of soup and ingredients was good I'd say this one hits more on the miss side.
Taking over from an old greasy spoon breakfast place the new owners did an excellent job of redecorating and giving the outside of the place a cool facelift while keeping the structure intact. Inside is cozy and intimate, with Asian inspired interior touches throughout.
The first (and only) time I went the service was fast and friendly. The waitress spoke fractured English but was friendly and made an effort to understand through her own interpretation what my friend and I were asking for. So the service was not the reason for the two stars. The reason was purely food based. While the ingredients were tasty and as I've mentioned, good quality, the servings were so small that after I left and went home I had to make more food to make up for my hunger (ironically enough I made ramen!). My friend got a small bowl of soup (I got the largest) and she got an appetizer...I think it was shrimp rolls. According to her they were okay, not great. My soup had pork belly and mushrooms...a total of 4 small slices of pork belly and what looked like 1.5 mushrooms chopped up. The bill arrives and it was over $30! I think it was $32 and after tip (it wasn't the severs fault the soup was so unsubstantial) the bill total was $37. Maybe it's because ramen in Chinatown costs $1 at most and the ingredients for it are cheap and easy to find, but I can't in good conscience pay $37 for two bowls of soup and some rolls. At least with pho it's more complex and I can't make it so easily myself. I'm afraid I'll have to include ramen restaurants along with hot dog joints; I just can't see them lasting.
Not worth the trip
