It took a while for someone to finally acknowledge my presence so that I could order. They kindof just stood there watching me while I try to figure out if I should seat myself for a to go order or not. The packaging ofthe food was very cheap. First and last time at this place. Food was nasty

While they were tasty, the prices felt unjustifiable, particularly the six wings at $16, which seemed excessive. The Tonkotsu ramen was also underwhelming; priced at $15, it was overly salty and earned a similar 5/10 rating. The atmosphere, rated at 5/10, lacked the charm of a traditional ramen shop, although it showed some promise. Ultimately, the high prices brought the overall rating down to 4/10, making it a place I wouldn’t recommend for ramen lovers.

Additionally, the customer service was disappointing; it took a considerable amount of time for anyone to acknowledge my presence so I could place my order. The staff appeared confused about whether I should seat myself or order takeout. The food was also poorly packaged and overall felt low quality. This was my first and last visit to this restaurant, as I left feeling unsatisfied.
