| - Overall, worth the wait
I finally made an attempt a few weeks ago and at 2:30 pm, was still greeted with a line (albeit small). The space is tiny and cramped, the menu is short and simple. I asked the waitress for the clearest, least heavy soup...I think that got lost in translation because I was served the Tonkotsu Ramen. Having said that, the broth was tasty - rich, creamy, not too salty. The pork was absolutely delicious, especially the caramelized skin. This was probably the best pork I've had at a ramen shop to date. The full egg was a bonus, and I liked the black fungus. Unfortunately, they could only offer me their "thick" noodles, but to be honest they looked thin to me (but were cooked perfectly al dente). When I was done, I was hoping for more.
However, soon after I left, let me just say my tummy took a while to settle down after the richness of that meal. I don't think I'll have that particular dish again, it's just too much for my taste buds (surprisingly) but I'd love to return to try another one of their dishes.
