The new table was directly under the AC in the center of the room, so we requested to be seated elsewhere. Unfortunately, we were denied as they expected to get busy. Disappointingly, we decided to leave. It's a shame because their menu seemed appealing. Perhaps they could benefit from improved customer service training.

It was tender, juicy, and flavorful. As for the ramen, the noodles were undercooked and stiff, and the egg was cold (plus, only half an egg was included, which was disappointing). The pork was tasty but seemed to be burnt from being blow torched, giving it a bitter taste. The broth, on the other hand, was deliciously rich and creamy. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the front of house staff were kind and attentive.

Overall, I'd be interested in returning and trying other options. Updated from previous review on 2023-09-10

Super lovely and quick service. Definitely a good place for a quick meal. I had the vegan garnet and it was some of the best ramen I?ve ever had. My partner had the spicy vegan option with extra nori and noodles. Free fresh garlicwas a nice touch too. Waiting staff were great, friendly and speedy. Restaurant is clean and tidy.

We tried both the Garnet and the Garnet Vegan options, as well as the vegan dumplings. The ramen broth for both was bland and the add-on egg, for an extra $3,had a hard-boiled yolk and was not seasoned. The vegan dumplings were quite good, and the best part of the meal with a crunchyexterior and tasty filling, but the ramen was not worth the nearly $20 a bowl we paid. Will probably not return.
