| - I've never had "real" ramen before Umami, and now I keep coming back!
The service, despite a few reviews here, is fine. The waitresses don't bother the snot out of you while you eat, but they also don't leave you alone to die when you're not quite good enough at eating ramen with chopsticks yet. They're very helpful when it comes to questions about the menu, they deliver your food quickly, and they'll easily accept alterations to your meal minutes AFTER you hand them the check-off order sheet.
The atmosphere is really cool. Simple but modern, with a couple chalkboard walls to advertise their specials/deals and let customers draw their own designs. The bathrooms are pretty and very clean.
But most importantly, the ramen is amazing. The broth is flavorful (yes, a little salty, but I'd rather it be that way than not salty enough), rich and soothing to a sore throat (this is a perfect restaurant for those suffering from colds). The meat is tender (get the pork belly and the chicken) and the vegetables, though I often remove them, are well cooked. All of the flavors meld together nicely and if you happen to have extra by the end of your meal, this ramen actually makes for great leftovers.
