Grade A for location: beats driving down to the Chinatown area from NW. Grade B- for food: Shouyu ramen soup should be salty by definition but was mildly sweet for some treason. Chicken ramen soup was tasty and good. Chashu tasted bland, and its texture was a bit firm compared to what you get at, say, Monta. Gyoza was just OK. Grade D for seating comfort: we sat in a booth and found the seat to be unusually uncomfortable. Perhaps it's too deep. Maybe the counter chairs are more comfortable. We wanted to eat fast and get up. Maybe it's intended to be somewhat uncomfortable to speed up turnover. The restaurant was packed on a Tuesday night around 5:30. I suppose that's a good sign.
