I really wanted to like this place but it was one of the most bland unflavorful Japanese meals ever. The meal started with hot green tea in a teabag. Not a good impression. Then we ordered appetizers consisting of the pork tacos and the tempura Brussel sprouts. The tacos were decent but the Brussels sprouts were tasteless. There was no sauce. Tried using the gyoza sauce and hot sauce on the table but nothing worked. It might have been better if they provided a simple tempura sauce. The ramen was average at best. I think Monta is heads and shoulders the best ramen in town. They set the bar.
