The food, and the sake were very good. They urged me to set my prejudice aside and get SpamĀ® with my ramen, and I'm happy I did. The prices were very reasonable as well.
The front of the house needs some practice. For instance, they missed handing off our order smoothly when the servers switched, and our bento appetizers didn't arrive until after the ramen had arrived. Mind you, they did the right thing and comped the appetizers. I'm not complaining. But I think it would help if they brought in a good front of house person to help out what could otherwise be an outstanding restaurant.
(We sat in the dining room-I observed at least two parties try to enter the place by way of a non-functioning door before they realized they needed to enter via the bar door. Maybe a little signage is in order?)
Definitely recommended.
