Ramen is very overrated (definitely not worth of a 4.5 star)- having tried ramen from every part of the US and a lot of Asia, I will say that the ramen here is a bit better than passing-by Asian restaurants that happen to serve "ramen" but definitely not the same caliber as the higher ranked ramen around the nation. Noodles are slightly overcooked (a little mushier than bouncy), broth is MUCH too salty rather than letting the rich tonkatsu flavor come out. The chasu (pork) pieces themselves are very well done, a good balance of fat, tender lean meat, and flavor. Overall just a 3/5.
