My husband and I went here for a quick bite to eat and it sure was quick. We were sat in the bar area right away, there was no wait and this was during a Thursday evening at 5:45. Our server brought us our menu and we picked out our bowls. This was our first time here and we just picked some random noodle soups bc we felt a little rushed. People were going in and out quickly in the noodle bar. Our server was really heloful to others that came in after us. He suggested lots of choices and brought out sauces for other to put in their ramen bit didn't do any of this with us. The environment is super trendy with very loud music blaring.

I ordered the Shuyo Ramen dish and it was OK. I was raised to eat many noodle soup dishes on a regular basis and this was just OK. The broth is very rich and sweet. I think there was too much soy sauce in the broth. Too sweet for my liking. The noodles were absolutely delicious. They were perfectly cooked. The soft boiled eggs were also really good.

We also ordered the Spicy Miso. This was much better than the Shuyo, still rich but not as potent. This soup was a slightly sour and had the same delicious ramen noodles.

If you want a quick bite to eat with one or two people then I would suggest going. I think most people would like eating the ramen here but it was just not for us.
