| - The Pops and I had time to meet up for dinner at 5pm on a Monday evening, and I chose this place because it's new and he's not exactly a fan of GaBin (WHAT!? I KNOW RIGHT!?). I had full intentions to try the ramen, while he was going in completely blind (not because he forgot to change his glasses!)
Restaurant size:
It's an adequately sized place, and most tables are designed to sit at least 4.
There's a massive oddly-shaped table in the middle of the restaurant, which I can imagine is for all assorted parties once the night gets going.
Portion size:
We decided to go full twinning and both got the plain ol' regular Tonkatsu ramen. It was sufficient, but left us both feeling there could have been a little more of everything...
Food quality:
Speaking of everything, the temperature of the food could have been higher. The ramen itself was a little cold and all clumped together; broth was barely lukewarm; and egg was cold.
Service:
Service is available in at least 3 languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, English). Although there were 2 servers, flagging down either of them deemed a little difficult. On the flipside, they would occasionally check up on you when you least expect it. One of those "Where are they when I want them!?" situations.
Final thoughts:
On a ramen-only basis, I would not come back. I cannot comment on the True Izakaya Experience yet.
