| - Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head...
One thing is consistent at Anime Ramen and it is the push to up sell. The first time I came here, it was with some Yelpers after dinner. The goal was to get honey toast. Between the three of us, we got a dessert to split and the other two got a drink. The server looked put off. It wouldn't have been fair of me to review it then, so I waited to come back for it's namesake.
The second time, a group of five of us came in for dinner. We got three boba drinks, a pop, hot tea, some fries, two salads, three ramens, and a fried rice. Yet again, it felt like we were getting pushed to order more and more. I understand getting people to buy more food can mean a larger tip. Take into prospective that hassling guests can also mean a lower tip. Our bill came out to $60, we still left 20%, but it might have been more if the emphasis was put on attention to service and not racking up our bill.
The boba are warm and fresh. A little chewy, but still soft for my liking. My Avocado Smoothie($4.50) was decent. It was more sweet than anything else. The creaminess of the avocado was masked by sugar. Tried my friend's Almond Milk ($3.50) and it was borderline marzipan sweetness.
The Ramens range from $8-$10 and they are decent. The Tofu Salad ($5) was the most memorable item of the night. I could have easily ordered two of these and called it a meal. The refreshing citrus vinaigrette was tangy and counterbalanced the bitterness of the dark leaf lettuce.
