If you're starving or in a hurry, select someplace else.
Upon entering, in the early afternoon, I stood by the unattended "Wait To Be Seated" sign for almost 5 minutes. No one came to the front. It was not crowded. I had to walk to the back counter where 2 workers (possibly owners) still failed to acknowledge me. One of them looked up and I told him that I was going to sit at a table. He said sorry.
A short time later, the other person brought me a menu and water in a disposable plastic cup. I ordered the Black Garlic Ramen and an order of Gyoza.
Twenty minutes after placing my order the first person came to my table and apologized, stating that they were working on my order.
At thirty two minutes, my gyoza arrived. It was warm, as if it was sitting for awhile. There was no sauce. I requested gyoza sauce and was given what tasted like teriyaki sauce. The gyoza had a good taste to it, but was off put by the teriyaki sauce.
At thirty six minutes my ramen arrived. It consisted of a good portion of ramen noodles, chashu, corn kernels, sliced bamboo shoots green onion, fishcake slice, seaweed and half a ramen egg, in a creamy black garlic broth.
The ramen broth was warm. It had a nice flavor. The ramen egg was cooked perfectly. The corn and bamboo shots were firm and tasty.
When I first entered the restaurant, there were three food delivery drivers waiting to pick up food. When I left about 55 minutes after arriving, they were still waiting.
I'm not sure if I'd come back to this place. The food, although not as hot as I'd like it, was pretty good. But the wait to be seated, and the wait for my order doesn't seem worth it.
I hope the service gets better.
