| - This place is really cool. I was headed to Rubio's and veered to the side of the unknown. There was no sign up, telling me this was a new spot; Yelp confirmed. They are running a small show in here but it's cozy and fairly efficient. They utilize a self-ordering system with iPads at the help of what I assumed was the owner. Unfortunately I was on lunch break from work and could not enjoy one of the many adult beverages they have available. Food took about 10 minutes to come out and I was upset that I didn't snap a photo to share, but it was delish! And prepared very nicely. The cost was a little high for my blood, this would really make me hesitate to go back. My meal was about $20... if my wife knew, she would kill me.

Few Options - I find this impressive because they are mastering what they are doing. It's not an overwhelming, cumbersome mess like Cheesecake factory. The menu is ramen, with your choice of preparation, a few sides and water, coke or diet coke. Simple, and delicious.
Dislikes:
Ordering system is something to get used to and it's very impersonal. The owner seems very involved in the business and is very helpful so I think it would be better for him to take orders to make the experience more memorable. Put a face to your place. I also think that in a rush this would be a catastrophe because people are not used to it. So really you are placing the orders for the customers, but just running back and forth lol. It was not that big of a deal because it was simple and i think everyone knows how to use an iPad. It might take my parents a few more minutes to figure it out. But with the minimum wage increases I feel this is the way of the future.
Overall:
I would return, but not often because of the price. This would be an occasion type place, not a "go-to". Or if I had me a hankerin' for ramen. Service was good, no complaints. Atmosphere was good. I am excited to see how this place evolves once a customer base is established.
Thanks.
