| - I had friends tell me about this place, and the "drum" they have. I had a vision of a large drum, in which they would enthusiastically rhythmically hit, and scream "IRRASHIMASE". Let me tell you: nope. I came here for lunch, so maybe the vibe wasn't as "bumping", but it literally was the saddest drum hit I've ever heard.
We had the salmon don, spicy ramen and grilled pork belly don. The don's were ok, it was one of those things where it tasted great at first, then the flavour just got boring after the third bite (even if the meal came with other things). The salad dressing was REALLY good though. I enjoyed that, alot.
I also got the pomegranate calpico, which tasted like it contained grapefruit, because of the bitterness. So I asked the server if it was the right drink... which she answered yes, then I asked her if it contained grapefruit... in which she answered no. So.... I don't know.
THEN THE RAMEN. omg, horrid. Also, we found a piece of steel wool in the bowl. We contacted the server, and she was great at handling the situation, so we have no hard feelings about that. Plus, mistakes happen, so it really wasn't a big deal.
It was the very end which got me leaving unhappy. As we were leaving, typically they would yell out some sort of japanese phrase, and the server who sees us go, would initiate it. So when the server yelled "They are leaving now" in Japanese, the main kitchen chef just said (in japanese)"I know.", in a rude tone. I assume it was because of the steel wool in the ramen, as I did see the server tell him.
That left me with a very sour feeling, and for that, I would probably never return.
