I'm not sure if the high ratings are based on the demographics but I truly do not feel this establishment warrants 5 stars. I came here because another ramen place I wanted to eat at was closed between 3-5pm and it looked like it got great reviews throughout.
When you first walk in there's a pungent smell. I wasn't sure if it was from the humidity due to heavy rainfall and leaky ceiling. (Not a fault of theirs obviously, the landlord needs to have that fixed.) The smell didn't make me feel like really eating already as it is. The decor had a few nice items aside from the mismatching chairs and later on, a napping staff member at one of the tables. Anyway...
We got a complimentary dish with shrimp and mushrooms. It was very tasty. It took quite a long time but our 3 bowls of ramen eventually came out and they looked...meh. Considering the cost of each our bowls ranged from $12.50 to $15.00 I expected better. (Considering my favourite ramen joint, Shiki Menya, charges less than that and provides quality ingredients like fresh greens and large orange yolk egg...)
I can't say I recommend this place, but if you're in area craving ramen I guess it's acceptable if you're okay with ramen noodles that taste like Nissin chicken flavored instant noodles.
