The food here is quite good and looks very pretty, however, the service here is as bad as the other…read morereviews will tell you. We were there on a Saturday evening and though we had reservations, we waited nearly 20 minutes to be seated at a table that was too small for our group (though we were re-seated to a more suitable table later), and there we sat for nearly 20 more minutes before they came to take our drink order. Drinks and appetizers came comparatively quickly, but they forgot one of the drinks - and they had to be reminded twice to get it, which took at least another 15 minutes or more. Food finally came - at this point we had been there for over an hour - but they brought out food incorrectly, served us food that wasn't ours (though was similar to our order), and again forgot one of our people. We finally all had our meals and drinks an hour and a half after we got there. The staff were friendly, but overwhelmed and not terribly uncomfortable with all the mistakes or slow service. My guess is that on a week night, or at non-peak meal times, this is a much more enjoyable dining experience, but weekends are too busy for a young inexperienced staff. The restaurant itself is nice, and the prices are ok, but not enough to offset the lacking customer service.

I found this ramen restaurant on Google and decided to check it out. It was very crowded during…read morelunchtime on Saturday. Because it was raining, we and most other customers chose to sit inside. Perhaps I ordered the wrong one (ramen with gyoza, the gyoza comes on the side) but it was actually pho. See the photo. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't ramen either. I ate it anyway. The gyoza filling was edible but also wasn't completely satisfying. I was very happy with the Genmai tea which came very hot. I would try the other ramen places in town before coming back and ordering something else on the menu to see if it comes close to ramen.

If you don't know what ramen is at all, you might be ok with what they serve at this restaurant…read more Although the menu of ramen looks varied and authentic, listing a lineup of familiar ramen names like tonkatsu, shoyu, and salt ramen that will make any ramen aficionado salivate just by reading them, don't get too excited. We ordered a tonkatsu and two chashu shoyus, expecting the usual fragrant umami of a clear brown soy sauce based broth for the shoyu and a more fiery reddish spicy miso broth for the tonkatsu as is unique to each dish, and instead got three bowls of what looked like a clearer version of miso soup with slightly different ingredients like egg or sprouts topping each one. The chashu was not slices of bbq-d pork like you would expect, but paper-thin sliced *boiled* meat that covered the entire dish like you would find in a southeast Asian soup like pho--the soup even tasted a little bit like a light chicken broth for pho--and the noodles were unfortunately like overcooked angel hair pasta. The gyozas we ordered were charred and overcooked as well, but at least the wilted spinach salad was pretty tasty with its soy ginger mayo sauce. The staff was also very friendly. All in all, it didn't taste awful, but it wasn't Japanese either, let alone ramen. Not by a long shot.
