The gyozas come particularly recommended, and we were glad we did not skip dessert we combined the...green tea ice cream with the apple wontons, and it came off a treat. Extra marks for having a genuinely 'japanese ' toilet with more buttons and dials than my TV remote.

Think we got lucky with our table.

Good service, although I went at off hours and no other customers were there. The whole place is cozy and well-designed. Unfortunately for me the price point is...higher than I expected. Ramen bars are by nature simple affairs, but at 30.000 for a basic bowl without any additions, Tomodachi prices me out as a regular customer. However I would return here for a special occasion.

The ramen noodles were doughy and not properly cut, the broth had no soul and it was very heavy, we couldn't sleep after it, my boyfriend got sick from it. The side dishes we very boring and were under seasoned. If u wanna have a bottle of sake this is your place, but stay away from the food.
