Better than expected. We had ramen there. While not a traditional ramen, their soup tasted better than expected. Pretty good actually. They use thin somen noodles and the combos not common among ramen places. Like seafood, beef or chicken or mapo tofu ...., instead of the general soyu and etc type.
So, i originally wanted cheaper sushi at Ebisuya but they were too busy. Went here and didnt want to pay double or triple the price so we got ramen.
I think i saw the menu saying that it's handpulled??? It definitely doesn't seem like it's handpulled. Not a big issue.
The ramen werent bad but i wish there was more meat. My bowl of R02 spicy ramen only had 2 extremely thin slice of ramen, half a egg, and little veggies. Okay for the price though. Only $10. It didnt taste bad and i actually liked it but it could be a bit more spicier.
Service was good. The host is also the waitress. She came to check on us 3x and offered help on what to order when we weren't decided yet. Nice lady

Ordered the food for take out! It came on time and fresh which was a plus. The maki combo was relatively good. I’d definitely order it again. However, the mapo tofu ramen was subpar at best. The broth is lacking depth and wasn’t even spicy. They also don’t use the chewy curly ramen noodles so the texture wasn’t what I was expecting. Perhaps I’d just stick to sushi next time!
The reason for the 3 stars is the service provided from staff. Completely dismissive. The whole interaction was awkward and out of place. Good service is mayor key to succeed in this industry. I do have to say that the food here is great. Had no complaints with food and presentation. But in my personal opinion...great food and great/good service goes hand in hand.
Been here a couple of times and was a good experience each time. The ramen is fairly good, and the sushi was okay. The atmosphere is cozy, and does have nice space from other customers so it feels like a a private dining experience. Also the portion sizes are pretty good for the prices and the staff is pretty attentive.
