This place is exactly what we needed on this side of town. I can see why the harsh reviews, it isn't the usual tiny, overcrowded, divy place that cool douchy hipsters would prefer. Instead it's roomy, properly decorated, staff is very nice and the food is solid. Can't go wrong with the ramen here. Very good, and the waitress took her time to go over the menu and explain it to us. That to me goes a very long way. According to some of the reviews, they must've had a bumpy start when they first opened ("waited this long for my menu", or "this long for my food" god forbid that happens on a grand opening! Pfft) but they are on point right now. I'll be back again for sure.
