| - I can't believe I have worked across the street for 2 years, sort of noticed this place, but hesitated to eat here until Yelp identified it for me. I just had a nice lunch with 3 coworkers because it is a hop, skip and jump away. One ordered lunch special half curry/queen sized ramen bowl, one ordered mapo tofu ramen, and the other ordered omelette over fried rice. I got salmon & ikura rice bowl.
Matcha = strong, green, grassy, excellent (a fave of mine if you refer to my profile).
Portions = generous. Omelette over rice friend had enough to take home for 2 more meals, and it came with a beautiful ginger salad too. Mine came with miso soup.
Aromas = to die for. I could sniff in there forever.
Service = Incredible. We all tipped at least 20%. Waitress was kind, prompt, spoke English better than I did, and attentive.
When someone completed their dish, it was taken away quickly.
The menu is MASSIVE. They no longer have the uni-ikura bowl that I heard all the buzz about, but mine had plenty of ikura, raw salmon, and some salmon flake, plus nori, ginger, wasabi on a SHISO leaf!!! I got a side of ponzu. All tables had shichimi togarashi on them already yum!
I will definitely be back. Lots of things to try next- mackerel with miso, the party special (3 items for $12.95), lots of eggplants, tofu with ginger, more bowls, and jalepeno ramen on the list!
UPDATE 11/23/09 I come here quite a bit for to-go orders before my night shift. I love the appetizer (a huge portion) of miso eggplant (I get no beef), the sashimi salad is spectacular and huge, and I also tried the dinner special with mackerel and tempura. I recommend this place and the green iced tea is super grassy and strong (luv!)
