| - We were eager to try out the new ramen place. Apparently many others were curious about it, too, because it was crowded for lunch at 2:00 on a weekday.
Highlights: The "hard boiled egg" was perfectly soft-boiled. The noodles and broth were OK. (Sorry, that's the end of the highlights.)
Disappointments:
- It's a small, cramped and awkward to walk through.
- Service was very, very slow. They really need to work on that.
- I had the tonkatsu with shrimp. The shrimp arrived intact, including eyeballs. I had to dissect them with my fingers and a napkin. Finally achieving that, I found them to be overcooked and rubbery.
- What is with the slab of pork in a dish to be eaten with chopsticks? Sorry, but it's just a pain. If it was tender, one could pick it up with the chopsticks and bite it, but it was also overcooked and tough. Like with the shrimp - I like soup that's actually ready to eat.
- Also, what's up with the wooden soup spoons? Looks like a ladle, and you have to hold the handle above your head to sip the teaspoon that it actually holds. Really.
Not recommended. Not going back.
