The boyfriend and I finally got around to checking this place out, and while it's not the best, we'll probably visit again. '
I'm not a huge fan of the modern red and white décor; the seats looked more like ottomans, and the place was a bit overly bright. The seats were pretty comfortable though. They had the door open, and the AC was not on. I didn't find it to be too hot, just warm, but the boyfriend found the place way too warm considering that they're serving hot soup.
Service was quick and attentive. We didn't have to wait to be seated, water was refilled promptly, and the waitress checked on us several times. We didn't have any questions about the food, but she seemed knowledgeable when answering the questions of another party.
As an appetizer, we ordered the Karaage, which I thought was a somewhat small portion considering the price, $5. The boyfriend thought the portion was fine, so maybe I'm just cheap. :P At any rate, it was tender and juicy.
Ramen, though, was only ok. Shiroi Tonkatsu was kind of bland, to be honest. And the boyfriend got Tate-Yama, which he simply described as "Bean Sprout Mountain".
