But i love the ramen She gave with mild spicy and very tasty, california maki roll with average taste. I notice one wooden shelve with bottles and name on every bottle and curiously ask her what is that for, she told me its for the regular customers its keep bottle, they will return to drink it again if they didnt finish the liqour. Ambiance is good, service is fine, taste of the food is average and expensive.

I had the Champon ramen and all I could say was "uma!" ❤️ It had this creamy white soup based and had this rich umami flavor that I couldn't describe. It was full of veggies and the noodles weren't too soft either, just the right chew in it which I like. Despite being 320, I think this bowl of magic deserves praise. But it is true, for their other dishes, it seems quite expensive as other places offer things on par with taste with lower prices.

Beef gyudon. that is good. No wonder that the Japanese nationals flock this place at any time of the day. a bit expensive for P380, but it's worth it. read more Beef gyudon. that is good.
