Value

"Great portion size."
"Both the Ramen my friends order were a hit and on different side of the spectrum."

Cons:
"For the price, quality and the taste of ramen it is quite expensive ($14)."
"Also extremely overpriced for the quality."
"Paying $18 for noodles and broth is a ripoff."
"So for $18 bowls, $7 dumplings and 2 sodas, the total was almost $60 after taxes and before tipping."
"In all I paid $41.36 we’re pretty upset because it was definitely not worth it."
"Unfortunately yesterday the portion and quality of the dish was drastically different in the negative way."
"I ordered a poke bowl and they have cut down their serving size in half."
