The parking is terrible. There's way more seats inside than there are parking spots. Idk how they think people will be able to sit if they can't park, unless everybody carpools with cars full of people. We parked in the lot of the business next door after their business hours were over. It seemed like other people did that too, so we thought it was safe, but I wasn't 100% sure we wouldn't get towed lol
We came at around midnight on a Saturday night and surprisingly got seated immediately, even though it was pretty busy. Service was nice, but seemed to be struggling. It could have been because we were a table of 6, or our server was new, or they were understaffed, or because it was late in the evening, so it might not be normal, but I experienced the most mistakes I've had at a restaurant in a while. An appetizer never came out and had to be removed from our bill, my friend's ramen was missing a topping, our server took 2 attempts to split the bill correctly, and my bf's drink didn't come out until everyone finished all of their food and it didn't taste like it had any alcohol in it. Nothing outrageous, but pretty notable.
I got the DROWNING GYOZA. It comes with the option of chicken or pork. Idk why it's called drowning gyoza when it's not sitting in a sauce. It has sauce drizzled on it, I think, so maybe it should be called drizzled gyoza lol at most, the plate might've just been brushed with sauce. Definitely not "swimming" like the menu says, but, regardless, it's delicious! There's plenty of flavor despite the lack of sauce. Get it if you're considering it. I was fully happy getting just this after a night of drinking.
My bf got a Tori (chicken broth) ramen and liked it. He added Oni (red) spice and the flavor of the spice was delicious! Too spicy for me, but definitely tasty!
I thought the signature bowls were ridiculously overpriced. Maybe it's because of the area, but I can easily get a better bowl of ramen for cheaper elsewhere. Also, everyone in our party built their own bowls because there wasn't a great selection from the signature bowl options.
All issues aside, everything I tried was pretty good. I'm not sure why their rating is so low, but based off of my experience, it's problems with everything but the actual food. It's worth trying out if you're craving this type of food late at night when everything else is closed, but I probably won't be back if other ramen options are open.
