I also got to try the soup from the miso ramen my parents ordered and it also tastes good. The restaurant also offers adequate service for non Japanese speakers as they offer English language options for the menu. Food: 5 Atmosphere: 5

(very smart huh? so less people can write a review? how wrong i was. all the staff and chef, are more likely from south east asia, surely not japanese, in the appearance and in the cooking. and it does not stop there. i thought, some non japanese chef also make great japanese dishes too. cannot judge the book by its cover right? wrong again. the shoyu ramen was super super super (yes, 3 times for emphasis salty, the fried rice was salty, the miso soup was salty. yuck it made even the water taste salty. the pork meat is not that typical juicy, melt in your mouth slices. it is more of the cheap low quality bulk buy frozen meat pack that you buy from the grocer supermarket. tough, smelly, not a nice texture. the only edible thing was the gyoza. thank God! so that i can finish my noodle. i skipped the almond pudding dessert, too sweet, long time in the fridge taste and very mushy. Naohisa Nejo, NOT RECOMMENDED. Price per person: ¥1,000–2,000 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
