| - $7 Spicy Miso Ramen?* I'm in!
HH menu is pretty dang good, food items for $7 each with good variety, plus beverages for $5. Quantity and quality are both pretty good for the price, save for the sushi rolls which are fairly basic- that price for a California roll isn't really a deal to me.
FOO FOO PLATTER gives you a sample of most of the apps for $15.
WINGS: meh, fall-off-the-bone tender slash overcooked without any flavor.
DUMPLINGS: opt for steamed over fried, vegetarian over pork options available, the dipping sauce is delicious, heavy on the chili oil
SPRING ROLLS: crispy, possibly fresh out of a freezer box, tasty dipping sauce
WON TON CHIPS: not my thing but they did eventually grow on me, very light seasoning is complemented by the green onion dip intended for the wings
FOO DOGS: skewered kurobuta sausage wrapped in a potato chip is actually pretty dang good! Bummed that I didn't receive either of the dipping sauces mentioned in menu description, though.
But the ramen. That's what I came here for, and that's what I was underwhelmed by. The spicy miso broth was all spice, no miso, very one-note devoid of the richness signature to a great ramen broth. Charred scallion leant an unpleasant burned flavor to the dish, but I did enjoy the mushrooms. The egg was cooked perfectly but the noodles were overdone? Not sure how this was managed.
*Additionally, a double-take at the menu when I left revealed that I was charged full price for the mostly-untouched bowl rather than the HH price. Grrr!
Service was hit or miss. Karen, the sushi chef, was a delight and gave me a sample of their Hamachi with ponzu, jalapeno, and sriarcha- fresh and delicious! Blonde female server was peppy and prompt. But the hostess was out of it, didn't acknowledge me for several minutes and then brought me the wrong menu.
