This place does get crowded because it is kind of like a hole in the wall. The ramen is pretty good. Service once seated is really fast. My husband loves this place. I personally find it comparable to other ramen places we have been. Plan to wait 15 to 30 min for a table depending on how big your party is. Plan to wait outside bc there is not enough seating in the inside to wait. Parking Can be tough. Wish they would open a bigger place. You are crammed in like sardenes. Menu is pretty basic. Wish they would add more choices like some ramen places in San Diego. Overall, it is pretty good.
