The noodles were soft and the toppings didn't taste fresh. It was unfortunate the ramen eggs most likely brought the broth temperature down because it was refrigerated prior.

The parking is easy and free. I wouldn't mind ordering again here. Just not ramen though

Make sure to read the full description of each menu item as the short title doesn't do it justice. I ordered a braised short rib with risotto dish, which was amazing! But the short title was just "risotto", which I would have quickly dismissed without my friend mentioning the short rib in the description. We started with the calamari an appetizer. It had a nice crispy breading. They had deep fried jalapeños with it, which paired nicely with the calamari. Never had it like this before. The dish came out with a very generous portion of risotto and a large short rib on top. The rib was so tender that it fell right off the bone and you didn't need a knife to cut it up. So flavorful! The risotto was well flavored and have a nice creaminess to it. I could have shared this plate as it was very rich and filling. Service was admittedly slow, but I attribute that to our large group on a Wednesday evening.

I was driving home on Rt. 1 (Richmond Hwy) and notice a restaurant just past Corporate Drive that I…read morehaven't seen before. So I pulled in, parked, walked in and the restaurant was cleaned with a beautiful bar. I ordered 3 items: 1) Beef empanadas 2) Cuban sandwich 3) Buffalo wings. As the appetizers arrive to the table, though I only chose one empanada out of the three flavors they offer: cheese, beef or chicken. I chose beef which was served with a special sauce (mayo and ketchup), because it was well seasoned and the filling was packed, the sauce wasn't needed. The crust was thin, flaky and delicious on its own. The buffalo wings served their homemade ranch, with 8 pieces were juicy, tender and delicious. Unfortunately the Cuban sandwich fell flat for me. The ingredients were ham, cheese, roasted pork, pickles, mayonnaise and mustard. The sandwich was flattened like a panini and I was excited for the first bite but the protein was too dry. As I lift the bread, there was only a teaspoon mayo and mustard spread. It was served with matchstick fries and a ramekin of ketchup. I wanted to ordered desserts but unfortunately they do not make all of their homemade desserts (flan, tres leches, rice pudding) every day. You will have to called in to see what they have before dining in. The only dessert available that day was their flan. My server Karla was friendly and attentive. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu.

Phones aren't being answered. I've called multiple times over recent visits with no answer. When I came in to ask about it, a new tall younger employee told me the phone was "broken." While I was standing there, I called the store from my cell -- it rang, and he went to answer it. That's not a broken phone; that's a lie to a customer. 2. The store is closing before its advertised 9 PM time. Tonight my wife walked in at 8:48 PM and was told the kitchen had closed at 8:45. Lights were already off. I had been trying to call ahead -- multiple times before 8:45, no answer. Same employee told her the phone was unplugged because of robocalls. The phone was never actually unplugged -- I proved that myself the last time the same employee gave me that excuse, by calling from inside the store. The 'unplugged because of robocalls' story my wife was told tonight is a second version of the same lie. My toddler was left in tears because he couldn't get his bun. If you advertise a 9 PM close, be open until 9 PM. If you list a phone number, answer it. The employees and management (or ownership) on shift tonight need urgent review. 3. An older gentleman at the counter has repeatedly refused to enter my rewards number. Both my wife and I have experienced this separately. This has happened across $80--$140 in orders. Meaning I lost $10+ in rewards. Rewards numbers should be asked for and accepted -- that's the whole point of the program. I want to be clear: this is an amazing place that has typically had amazing customer service. We have spent hundreds if not thousands here. Service has only sharply degraded in the last month. Before that, I had a real attachment not just to the food but to the employees -- their discipline, attitude, and work ethic. Some went the extra mile for my young son, slipping him a bun or extra pickles so my toddler could leave happy. It felt like a community, like a place where we were known and cared for. (Frank, Peyton, and James -- if I have his name right -- all are exceptional employees: others need to model them). If everyone performed like them, I'd change this to a glowing 5-star review -- and I may if this is taken seriously. Something has changed recently -- whether it's new management or new employees who need to be addressed, I don't know. I'd happily revise this review upward if these staff members are retrained (or replaced), the phone is answered during business hours, the store stays open until its posted close time, and rewards numbers are honored. I dislike posting this, and I'll take it down when things are corrected -- but something needs to change. The level of engagement this receives at the highest levels -- rather than a generic response -- will dictate my decisions moving forward. If closing early and not answering phones were ownership decisions, I want to know who I'm addressing. There's only so much that honest feedback can fix. The good-food and hard-working employees deserves customers who keep coming back, and right now this front of house behavior is costing you that.
