Located on East 34th Street, between Lexington Avenue and Third Ave, closer to Lex, I decided to try this lovely restaurant after I took a Quick Look at the Yelp reviews and tons of photos. I depend on the photos a lot, so if you write a review anywhere, please, please, post and caption your photos. Thanks LOL. Glad I ate here--it was VERY NICE AND PLEASANT. And, I happen to pop in during the LUNCH SPECIAL time, so I saved a few bucks on my ramen.
I'm enjoying my hot, Little Pot of GREEN TEA FROM JAPAN. Now, that puts me on vacation mode :).
It is a beautiful clear, glass teapot, with an ultra-fine, stainless steel strainer inside for the JAPANESE GREEN TEA LEAVES, so you will not have any floating tea leaves in your tea cup at all! None!
Since I love tea pots, I am relaxing by simply enjoying the design and simplicity of this teapot. Yes, I am in love with this tea pot. It is form and function at its best. It is the type of simple design I expect to see in museums showcasing CLEVER DESIGN. Yes, life's simple pleasures, for me, can be the clouds in the sky, the flowers I see, and the beauty in design of an item I could use often, and enjoy even if I'm only looking at it. Like art.
And, on this day, Friday, Aug 30, 2024, if you order this pot of green tea, it will be $5.95. You do not get to keep the tea pot, but you may enjoy its beauty while at your table. LOL.
On to the food--I ordered the RAMEN with chicken broth, and added a soft boiled egg. The ramen has pieces of chicken, bean sprouts , the most wonderful sweet bamboo I have ever tasted, sliced scallions, wood ear mushrooms, Napa cabbage, and I totally enjoyed this bowl of ramen.
I also ordered the "roast pork buns" -- 2 to a portion, which was really a delicious, sweet, shredded roast pork on a bao bun with a little Napa cabbage and a slice of cucumber.
Yum-o !!! Absolutely delicious. Each bun is held together with a wood toothpick, so remember to remove the toothpick because once you start eating, you may lose your mind to flavortown!! Really good!
In brief, yes, enjoy some good food here. The service was very pleasant, too. Enjoy!!
