We decided to brave the line and waited for a good while outside in the cold rain. Overall it was worth the wait. While I do not count myself as a ramen connoisseur (does such a thing exist?), dinner here was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. \n\nThe restaurant has a nice decor and the atmosphere was great, especially on a cold rainy fall evening. Staff are friendly - the random Japanese yelling reminds me of Guu Izakaya. I have no idea what they were saying. \n\nFood wise:\nSpicy Karaage - generous portions. Delicious spicy fried chicken. I definitely enjoyed this app and it went well with the ramen\nSpicy Garlic Ramen - I ordered this with extra pork shoulder. I'll admit I have a pretty big appetite but I could not finish all the pork. I ramen comes with a friendly heaping of garlic. I love garlic. The broth was delicious. The ramen was not too soft. In the future, I'd probably add an egg to the mix. \n\nOverall, this joint is a good addition to Baldwin with solid options. Definitely worth a try in the increasingly crowded downtown ramen market."^^ . "0"^^ . .
