This wasn’t ramen—it was easily the worst meal I’ve been served at a restaurant this year. Entrees weren’t good either. Staff were very friendly and refunded the ramen which was nice. I wonder if the other reviews are from friends or family.

Excellent service from the time of arrival to departure. Cocktails (of which we had a few) were creative and delicious. The food was authentic Japanese and of the highest quality. We sat outside which allowed us to take in the hustle and Bustle of Spice Alley. A super enjoyable meal and experience and one we will be sure to do again in the not too distant future.
