It's nice that they don't have a tipping culture at this restaurant. The flavors are enjoyable, which is expected given the reputation and price. The service is excellent as well.

But for some quiet self time, it's perfect. The staff was friendly, quick and helpful The ramen while fine was just a very basic ramen arrangement. The broth thickness can be adjusted but the flavoring was definitely meant for broader appeal and was found a little on the plainer side of broth offerings. For a Calpico and basic ramen it was about 30+ dollars. While this is a fun little experience, the price point doesn't make this a regular spot. Ramen special/ happy hours would be nice to have. Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Recommended dishes: Ramen Bowl, Soft Boiled Egg, Recommended Ramen Parking space: Difficult to find parking Parking options: Parking is unavailable Kid-friendliness: If you have young kids with you, it's probably not the best fit. It's all single seat booths so you're all dining independently. Older kids might enjoy it though.
