Came here with 3 other people on a Thursday night around 8P. We ordered a variety of food. I can't speak to all the food since I didn't try everything.
Atmosphere:
It is a smaller place and if you have a large party, it is pretty hard to find seats. Most of the seats are for 2 people except a long family style table.
Food:
Edamame
Fried gyoza
Crispy Chicken Karaage
Garlic Truffle Ramen
Cajun Mazemen
Mabo Tofu Bowl
Honestly, everything was just mediocre. I would have rated this 3 stars, but there were a few things that bumped it down. First, the fried gyoza were all broken so the meat was spilling out when we were trying to eat it.
The ramen was decent. I did feel the Truffle ramen was good but the soup just felt a little heavy. It was still good. I didn't try the Cajun Mazemen but the noodles were not cooked well. Some of the noodles were still hard and stuck together. Also, do note that you won't get a lot of soup with it. It's just the way the dish is, so get something out if you want a normal soup based ramen.
The mabo tofu was a little sad. The sauce was so thick like it was left out to dry, so it was just stuck together and didn't run very nicely.
Service:
They have a lot a doordash orders so I get that they are busy. They probably need more staff. When we were in line, I saw that some people were getting their ramen within 5 minutes of ordering. We waited a while at the register to put in our order. When we sat down, we waited almost 20-30 minutes for everything to arrive. The mabo tofu dish came out first, but had to wait another 15 minutes for the Cajun mazemen to come out. Then another 5-10 minutes for the garlic truffle ramen. The appetizers came out at the same time as the ramen. Even the edamame came out late. Also, we had to wait for someone to clear one side of the shared table. Even 40 minutes later, the other side of the table wasn't cleared of all the bowls from another party. They didn't even wipe down the table either, so we had to clean it ourselves.
I have heard that the different locations might be better so I think it really depends on where you go. Overall, unless I was craving the truffle ramen, I wouldn't come back here.
