I also had very high expectations for this place, went with my friend John, and we both agreed our appetizer could've been better... we had the fried tofu in miso soup, and it is an odd idea to begin with, because fried anything will get soggy after been bathed in miso soup! so we are not fans
I then ordered the Hakata Ramen, it was ok, again nothing special whatsoever, i needed to add a lot of hot sauce
