I'm not a Umami or Ramen or Dumpling or Noodle expert, but I do know that the food was amazing delicious and that my two year old little loved it, too. We both had dumplings and ramen.
I was super pleased to hear that they were open late on Fridays and Saturdays as a beer and dumplings sound like the perfect night spot to me, especially in the chic, yet comfy and inviting interior.
Few small suggestions:
1) Kids menu items came pretty hot - It's a small thing, but cooling them down a bit (icecube in the ramen?) would be helpful. I was impressed that they served all of his toppings on the side (super smart).
2) Signage outside - I'd love a bigger sign by the street - we drove right by it and didn't realize that there was a parking lot until we had already searched for awhile for street parking.
