Food Scene
One guest said it was the best Ramen she'd ever eaten outside of Japan.
We love that the food is amazing and the staff are kind. But mainly the food. They have a wide variety of sake, ranked by sweetness, and they also serve japanese soda sealed in the old fashioned way-- with a marble that you shove using a special tool. It puts the pop in soda pop!
But the food. There is no wrong answer, and of course you should get the ramen, but I recommend the cha shu don (rice with pork belly) if you think you have room for it. So good.

Drinks & Nightlife
They're really a pub-- they're herbed french fries are delicious if you just want a nibble with drinks, but they've got a small but thoughtful menu to go with their full bar.
