I went Thursday evening to find it not pack but not empty either! A good sign for a fairly new place. I was intrigued as it is the only ramen restaurant that has a vegetarian option!!! Good cause now my partner can come with me! He liked it (had the red and one). There's 2 you can select from. It was rich from the white miso. I think he was surprised by it's richness
I had the their ramen isshin...must be their speciality...the place is named after it!! I had the spicy version with the mortar and pestle to grind my own black sesame seeds.
It added a depth and dimension. It had 2 slices of pork char sui and ground pork. I would had preferred the pork belly. I don't think the ground pork adds much to it. no egg you have to add that in though scallions were included.
Pros: vegetarian options, interesting appetizers, we had the takoyaki octopus. They tasted ok they were not greasy but they weren't hot enough considering they are supposed to be deep fried. So freshness was questionable to me. They make their own mango dessert. But we did opt out for black sesame ice cream which was very good. Prices are reasonable. Noodles mine were wavy and chewy with great texture and lots of them which I like.
Cons: I thought the soup and our takoyaki appetizer should had been hotter. The soup could be eaten right away as the both was warm but not hot.
I know I'd go back especially since they have a veg option and I did like it. And though the service was great. I felt like I was in a fast food joint having pizza where they only heat up the pizza enough to take the cold off. I constantly have to tell pizza joints to heat my pizza up hot..not lukewarm. It was the same with the broth here and the takoyaki. Soup is supposed to be hot!
