| - My friends have all visited and I thought it was about time for me as well; unfortunately, I don't think I'll be going back there again.
Management: we were seated pretty quickly, but as a table of 2, we had to share the big table with other customers because of how small the place is, but no complaints (if you wanted a more intimate conversation, then this is not for you). The kitchen is open concept as well, which is neat.
Cleanliness: our table was a bit sticky, so I refrained from touching it, but the cutlery came after we ordered so it didn't look cluttered.
Service: very nice people and knowledgable of the menu, but slow with water service.
I had the following:
Tomato Ramen ($10.75):
This comes with scallop, tomato, egg, and shiitake mushrooms specifically; all ramen come with pork belly and your choice of thin or thick noodles. Since I recently decided to stop eating pork, I asked if I could substitute the pork belly with something else and the server said I could pick one veggie (choice of black fungus, shiitake, corn, or bamboo shoot) so I chose black fungus. What came was a bowl of thin noodles in super oily tomato broth, but one HUGE scallop, which was chewy, but HUGE. Guess how many black fungus pieces I got (I used many instead of much for a reason)? 3! Three! THREE pinky-sized pieces to replace the 3 thick slabs of pork belly my friend got! Needless to say, I was flabbergasted at how unfair that was to me, who paid for the "most expensive" option. I didn't even finish it because it was so oily.
In brief, I didn't give 1 star because the servers were polite and accommodating and the scallop was GIGANTIC. However, as aforementioned, I won't be returning because I wasn't impressed with the food.
