| - My sister was the first to bring this to my attention, as an avid ramen lover, when she told me that a new ramen place was opening I was instantly elated. There was a lot of hype around the first day of opening since they had offered that if you brought in a package of instant ramen for them to donate, you'd get 50% off your order. We obliged, made arrangements to go grand opening day all the way from Queen Creek to downtown Phx (50min drive). When we arrived, the place wasn't too busy but the owner/chef notified there was about an hour wait for ramen, then he said they were pretty much out of stock of ingredients. We left.
Last night, we finally returned to try the damn ramen, mind you it's saturday at 8pm the night before Valentine's day, thought it'd be busy but it was crickets in there. We ordered Shio Tonkotsu (the pork broth). The only conclusion I can come to is that it was disappointing and left me unsatisfied and desiring to leave to seek out a different ramen joint ASAP. The flavor of the broth was boring, it should really be saltier. On top of that the broth was lukewarm. The only redeeming quality they had in this awful ramen was the meat, it was wonderfully flavored and a great cook... just give me a bowl of that. My conclusion is two fold, I'm bummed that this ramen was so lacking, but grateful that it wasn't insanely good cause that would mean I would have to make a 50min drive all the time for AWESOME ramen... But I don't. First and last time customer.
