This place is really terrible. My boyfriend and I went excited that perhaps finally we would have a great ramen/noodle place to go here in the city... but alas, this is not it. The mod decorations and wall-sized pictures are definitely adequate for what I think they are trying to recreate here: Tokyo... but the food is absolutely sub-par. I got a noodle soup which was so bland and unspectacular, I can't even remember what it had in it. My boyfriend ordered a chicken dish with dancing flakes of some sort which had slightly more flavor than my soup, but did not earn it a better review. The waiter was inattentive and seemed to be far too stressed out for as few tables as he was trying to attend to. Our food took far too long to arrive for as slow as they were at the time of day we went, and my entree arrived at least 10 minutes before my boyfriend's. I think that's one of the first rules of a good place to eat -- your food should arrive as simultaneously as possible when you dine with other people. The tea was ok, but nothing to rave over either, and it had to be served in a different container since they were out of the cool little pots they usually use -- I guess that was one more thing to make us feel like this place was unorganized and unappetizing. I'm not sure why this place has as many stars here on City Search as it does... I can't wait til the real deal comes to town, with delicious food worth the money they charge. I guess I was wishing for a NYC-type Momofuku place, or something. I was sorely disappointed.
Pros: Location?
Cons: Food, service
