What Shravan Nargundkar doesn't like about Ama:
I might be spoiled by the ramen from Japan or the Bay Area but the ramen here was atrocious. Just really bad. Our server also had no idea what he was doing and got our order wrong. Avoid this restaurant at all costs. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback. What Ksenia S Saffron Honey likes about Ama:
Lovely dining setting and friendly staff. Great cocktail program. I had higher ramen expectations it was good! But not amazing, in terms of depth of flavor of the broth etc. Great desserts though! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Recommended dishes: Ramen with Pork Belly, Daily Dessert Specials View all feedback.

I thought the food was good, service was great, drinks were great. Just thought it was a tad bit overpriced for what it was. Would come back again!
