I wish I was You reading this Yelp review before I decided to eat here. We DO NOT Recommend.
And Here's why:
Ordered: 2 bowls of Tonkatsu Ramen with standard house "Yellow" noodles.
1) Overpriced:
Small disposable plastic bowl of not authentic ramen (see next) for $15.
2) Average at Best Quality:
Noodles like Spaghetti, Tonkatsu like Bacon
Anyone who rated the food quality here as excellent must not have had authentic Ramen from a real Japanese restaurant. This is "Maybe" ok for $5.99 but not $15.
3) No Service, Literally:
Seat yourself, even though the restaurant gives the appearance and pricing of full service. Nobody will check on you to see if you need a drink even though there is nowhere to get your own water or drink. Cashier said alcohol is available at the bar, we sat there for 15 minutes and nobody came to ask if we wanted to order. Cashier seemed like she doesn't like her job. We did not feel welcome there at all. I should have taken that mood as a hint to leave. A business owner should never put someone that unhappy at the front of their business.
4) Seating Cheap & Uncomfortable:
We gave up on the bar because the seats were uncomfortable steel with no cushions, and we moved to the bench seats at the tables which were also very uncomfortable. Again, if you are getting $5.99 fast food your expectations are low- but at $15 for a small bowl of Ramen that doesn't taste all that great, you hope at least the ambience is good. But it's not.
5) Only one bathroom, and it's not maintained: Ever been in a poorly maintained gas station bathroom in a bad neighborhood? Yes, this is the same. It was dirty and in poor condition, had graffiti, leaky sink with scalding hot water that was hard to adjust down to normal temperature. You'd think that with a line coming in to this place with $15 little plastic bowls could at least maintain their single bathroom. I'm a guy and didn't find it acceptable. I told my wife to just wait to use the bathroom, I can't imagine ladies using it. If I was the owner of this place I'd be embarrassed about that bathroom.
6) In Conclusion:
Overall, again if you're paying super cheap prices maybe you would be willing to accept a lot, but I would recommend considering any other restaurant in the area first. Just be patient and get your Ramen fix later at a real Japanese restaurant.
I normally do not go out of my way to give a bad review, but this is one time I can't keep it to myself. It's hours later after I returned home and I'm still upset about this place. What a waste of my time and money, I would never come back here ever again.
