A friend and I had a lunch date and it was packed on a Saturday...
PROS
-Octopus bowl appetizer - tried something new and had a strange but cool texture, it was fried on the outside but a little softer in the middle. There were shavings of something one top that freaked me out a little, but still taste. 6 of them to share in the app.
-eggs in both dishes were cooked really well
-we were please w/the slice of pork in our ramen - a lot more flavor and carmelized than other places in AZ
CONS
-Service was slow, we asked for plates multiple times for our app
-Broth - for both the spicy miso and Tonkatsu...there was no flavor...my friend said his was not spicy at all it just looked spicy...i had to add all these different flavorings from the table and was still not satisfied with it fully
It was just an average ramen place. Is it better than Republic Ramen in Tempe? Yes, but I have yet to find an above average ramen place in the East Valley.
