I am hesitant to give this place 4 stars because I think they really deserve 5. The reason for my dilemma is the fact while the food is very delicious there are a few challenges.
Let's start with the good!
Fans of Deer Garden will instantly recognize this food. Noodles, noodles and more noodles with toppings that you like. The selection of toppings is limited compared to the former but still decent nonetheless. As for quality of the food; it's head and shoulders above Deer Garden.
The broth here is rich and tasty, the toppings are equally delicious. The sides don't fail either, they too are very good.
I was hesitant to try their ramen at first but I am glad I eventually did during my return visit. The broth is again is great, the egg is done pretty good (not exactly to Japanese standards but the yolk is still somewhat runny). The only knock would be the chasu, which is a bit tough and not quite melt-in-your-mouth.
The service is lackluster even for Chinese restaurant standards. I am hoping this is just opening jitters and with time the service will be smoother. Oh yeah, the menu system...not exactly great but kudos for keeping it green!
All in all, a place worthy of many visits.
