| - I wanted to love this place. I love Japanese style noodles, all sorts, but this place left me extremely disappointed.
Ok, so I had lunch with a friend. We each ordered an appetizer (egg salad and fried veggie cakes). The egg salad was tiny and rather bland, while the veggie cakes were great, although a bit oversalted.
Then our noodles came. It was a special, so it was $15 for the noodles, which seemed pretty pricey for lunch but I really wanted this dish. Braised potato, mussels, shrimp with black garlic bread. Yum! Wait, no, it wasn't. The noodles were good as were all of the other items in the dish, except for the most important part, the broth. The broth was so salty, like salt water. The only way that I was able to eat the soup was to add water from my iced water into the soup to thin it out and try not to drink any of said broth. A horrible, disgusting mess of noodles.
This is supposed to be a nice place to eat great food. Authentic and new flavors. I would think that someone who works at a place like this would know how to season food.
And don't get me started on the ridiculously overpriced tea pots....it's no better than the genmai cha packets you can buy for $2/box.
