I have no idea what happened to this place. It tasted so perfect when I went here for the first time, but the taste changed a lot after that and just went downhill. I ordered the same ramen like last time (spicy miso) and what supposed to be their popular appetizer , poke salad. The ramen came first. It tasted good, but you can see that it's not fresh when you look at the fat on top of the broth. It looks like something they made a week before and been reheated for a couple of days. It wasn't like that at all when I ate there last time.
The poke salad is just horrible. The sauce is just too thick and they put a lot of it. I would normally be fine, but the sauce is so strong that it overpower everything, even the ramen broth. I could not eat the greens at all, so I only ate the 5 pieces of tuna cubes. The waiter realized that and grabbed the manager. They took it off my bill and gave me a free dessert. That's why I gave this place a 2 star instead of 1.
This is just an advice, I think Ryoji needs simple appetizers like gyoza, simple and not too overpowering. Satsuma age would be good too, mixed with strong tonkotsu broth.
