I tempered my expectations based on some reviews/complaints, but found the ramen to be very good. I had the Santouka Ramen and thought the broth was tasty and had a pretty good kick. I saw some people mention that the noodles weren't what they were expecting, but I thought the Soba noodles were good and comparable to most of the better ramen I've had in NYC. $14 is steep IMO, but I'll be back.
