Came here during lunch on a rainy day and was seated right away. It was kinda busy mid lunch service with mostly tables with parties of 6 or more.
Service was good. The waiters gave water right away and was accommodating. We got the gyoza to start. It was crispy to perfection but oily. Stuffed with cabbage and veggies and maybe pork as expected. I like the sauce because it has a hint of sriracha.
I ordered the shoyu and boyfriend got the spicy miso. The shoyu came out and had a good aroma. The presentation was nice. Balanced with green onions, sesame, Chasiu, a soft boiled egg, bamboo shoots, and nice yellow ramen noodles. Everything was just ok. Wish it came with more chasiu.. so we ordered a side order. The chasiu is grilled and IG worthy... cooked but not super soft. It's just ok. Get the spicy miso if you want to do the spicy ramen challenge 2.0.
The food, I will say, was oily.... it's overall just ok. Wasn't as salty as I expected but still got me reaching for my water. For offering good, authentic non-Maruchan ramen noodles in the middle of corn fields is already pretty exciting. I do agree with another yelper.. it does seem like a college spot served by college students and definitely has room for improvement.
Overall, this place is really cute and the food is just ok. Go during lunch cuz it's more worth the try. Decor and interior is pretty and I'm not mad about the water served in hipster mason jars. I would hope to see this place improve so we have variety on campus.
