Sat on the sidewalk and had a ramen and the kimchi fried rice. Started w/ Korean Fried Chicken bao...with great daikon/carrot slaw. Ramen had a great broth very thin noodles. A whole soft boiled egg. The charshu was clearly pork belly cut thick. It had corn but nori was extra. No sign of bamboo shoots. I did grab the togarashi hot oil which was not overwhelming and provided a great kick. Gotta come back at night and hit the bar.

Every time I've asked them to turn it down, they refuse. I hope that in their newly renovated space, they've created an area that's a bit quieter. I'm not 18 anymore, and I'd like to be able to hear what my partner is saying!

I started with the spicy beef dumplings, which were absolutely delicious—a perfect way to kick off my meal. For my main course, I tried the Pho Tai, and it was probably the best I've ever had! The bartender also served us, and she did an outstanding job. This place truly deserves 5 stars, with its fantastic modern atmosphere. I loved it and will definitely be returning!

Food was very good, and the menu explained what each meal was along with recommendations. Looking forward to coming back next time we are in town
