I've tried all the bowls there and you can't go wrong with the classic Tonkatsu ramen. The two spicy options are good when you want a jolt, though the Ultra Spicy can be so spicy that it covers up any other flavor. The Soy Milk ramen is a tad sweet (who'd thought haha). The Seafood ramen can be fun since the shrimp is whole so you gotta peel it. \n\nThe fried octopus balls are great appetizers. It's a tad crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, with a small morsel of octopus that adds flavor. My boyfriend and I almost always get that when we go.\n\nAnother highlight is the braised pork rice bowl. It's a few pieces of fatty braised pork belly on top of white rice, with a side of artificial crab. A filling and quick to-go meal for when I don't want soup noodles. If you haven't tried it yet, please do!\n\nSome things I steer away from: the Curry ramen, since it was bland when I had it. Also I watched the chef dump something from a package and add water to it which was disappointing. The Shisito peppers need work too, they were way too big and just plain flavorless.\n\nI love watching the chefs work, and the entire restaurant team is on top of their stuff too."^^ . "0"^^ .
