No nori. No alcohol. Dylan offered excellent service. Chill atmosphere. Wood smell (not overwhelming, very settled) and food... delicious. Just a few words to describe this place. Love the food. I'm definitely driving here to get my kick for ramen. Definitely worth it. Only 4 stars just because of I love having a cold draft Sapporo with my hot ramen.
Yes I mentioned they don't have alcohol at all. No wine, no beer, no liquor... Yes, that means no sake either but I was told that they are working on getting the license. They have been open only since April 2019. Nice job guys! Place looks great.
Staff is sure friendly and accommodating. I came at opening time so it was just me for about 20 mins. I'm always looking for ramen places when I'm not in Nashville. I think Nashville only has one ramen place that I know of and it's not very good in my opinion. It was nice getting greeted with genuineness.
I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and it was delicious. I honestly was very happy and left feeling full but not hurting ha! Dylan told me I got 1st ramen of the day. Pretty cool. Yay me! It had spinach which I thought it was it was an interesting choice. I liked it but I missed the nori in there but everything was perfect. The pork was flavorful and soft. The red ginger was a nice touch. I will ask for extra next time just because I love ginger but the amount was perfect. I forgot to say no corn but they added just the right amount. I dislike it when they add it on big amounts and over powers the whole dish. Sprinkle tinkle. Not sure what the base of the broth was but I'm assuming is bone? The temperature was extra hot which I loved! I hate when it get cold and I'm only half way in.... Either way, it was delicious!
The decor is awesome in my opinion. It has a nice mixture of traditional and modern. Love the poster stickers on the walls too. They have a bar area with a tv, they had it on food network it looked like but this guy was in Japan and I though it was cool and fitting. They also have a tv on the main floor playing music of current pop music. The volume is nice, not too loud, more on the quiet side but nice, not boring.
It looks like they have a good area for outside seating but it's empty right now. Definitely a great idea if they haven't think out it... add heaters for chilly nights? Cover for the winter? Hint, hint ;). Awesome waiting area for the busy nights.
Definitely will be coming back soon and trying all of the items! Everything looks delicious. Hopefully when they get the license Sapporo draft is on their mind, extra hint hint ;). read more
