The absolute worst ramen ive had so far, spicy ramen was a joke. This meal will be the first thing I undo when time travel gets invented

Get the shio ramen - it's delicious and not a standard offering at ramen shops.

The service is good but the ramen is, unfortunately, just so so. I still prefer Ippudo!

Not worth the wait at all, shoyu ramen was bland and Mabo was too thick, too much cornstarch.
