I finally decided to give this place a shot. The wait is usually kind of long after 5 so make sure to plan for that. First of all, the service was not that great. Myself and two friends went and we all ran out of water and had to flag someone down for awhile to fill them.
Happy hour has some sweet deals though. Got sake for $5 and some apps;
Takoyaki - I love takoyaki. And I've eaten it too many times to count. It wasn't served hot at all which made me sad. Good, but I've had better. (Poku poku has amazing takoyaki! :p)
Pork chashu w/ kimchee - I was very confused. It didn't taste like kimchi at all nor was there any kimchi in it. The pork was good though.
JINYA bun - I enjoyed this a lot. The pork was very juicy and melted in my mouth.
Now, for the ramen, I got;
JINYA Tonkatsu black - really appreciated the broth. I could really tell how long it took to get that type of flavor into that broth. I've had many salty broths at other Ramen spots and this wasn't overpowering. I also love garlic. They allow you to put freshly squeezed garlic in it! I also got butter and corn in my soup. The butter was huge! I didn't meant to put the entire thing in... but oh well. I loved the garlic chips.
After eating it took a long time for the check. Then our server was non existent. Someone else came with our check and set it down on the table. Not one person said here you go. Or thank you! Or having a nice day! Nothing. So that bummed me out. Overall it was all good food. I will be back to try some other stuff.
