"The noodles were under cooked and the soup was very bland I had to add spice from the table just to make it a bit flavorful."

Cons:
"They will pack leftover ramen to go but will not take orders for it to go- a slight disappointment if you were hoping to enjoy their delicious creations outside of the restaurant, or donβt feel like waiting for a table."
"I called the restraint, they said they could not take orders by phone, but they would check it with the manager, and call me back soon. They never did that."

"The tonkotsu ramen broth was watery and pork belly accompanying it was two pieces of 100% fat which were inedible."
"Some of the dishes are pricey."
"The prices are on the higher side but then you pay for quality I guess."
"While the ramen is absolutely the gem here, it does feel a bit pricey, so I wouldn't come here to eat too often."
"The prices were high but I had a good coupon so it took off some of the sticker shock."
