After falling in love with good Ramen in LA we really wanted to find somewhere in STL for us to find something similar. Nami isn't it. The restaurant is clean and the service is good but it gives you that fast - food vibe. The ramen is just ok in flavor; the ingredients are fresh and we'll prepared they just lack flavor. The dumplings were crisp but bland and even the dipping sauce was bland. The search continues read more

Ramen was ok, place filled up pretty quickly, the chicken wings were everyone's favorite.

When you walk in, you're surrounded by a super cute atmosphere. The decorations and paintings on the walls offer a very warm and comfortable vibe. The food took a moment to get to us, but I will also take into consideration that they were a little busy and had many pickup orders. The food is great! I ordered the Nami Signature Tonkotsu and it was awesome. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, and I plan on returning sometime in the future! (Pictured: my food) read more

Nami Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I might be going in a couple of different directions here so bare with me. One of my friends Li Pan wrote a 1 star review on this place and I was like, "What! she has to be out of her mind for slamming this place," it is only the second legit Ramen place to open up in the 314/636 in forever and whoever is making a play for legit Ramen has to be getting it right, right? She wasn't though and after my experience I can see why this place is getting 2 or less stars if not none. I will be focusing on the food because service was good and the ambiance was legit. I like the family style seating and the stools to tall tables, it gives a very modern feel to the restaurant. I also want to say to you other yelpers, stop comparing this place to Japan or NY style ramen, yes we know Nippon is legit in New York but this is St. Louis. Factor in the culture and diversity before putting any ramen joint in St. Louis on a pedestal. I know Robata opened and by far their broth is so much better, not the best ramen in the world, but not the worst. And yes I will be updating my review because I will come back to try other ramens to see if they are better than the one I had. First the ramen is overpriced. People say it because it is located in the heart of a Clayton, but Chipotle has the same price in Clayton as it does in the county. I can get past the overpriced ramen. We don't have ramen spot in St Louis so I am willing to pay a little extra for something I can't get unless I travel to Chicago. Second, to whoever owns this place, read your reviews! The biggest thing that is hurting you is your broth. It sucks, it is bland and has no flavor. Granted the pork or eggs or vegetables might have given it a extra hint of something, the broth is what makes your ramen, RAMEN! Almost every other review on Nami is about your broth lacking flavor. I shouldn't need to add siracha or more pepper or salt to any ramen dish. A perfect ramen comes out flavorful. I got the ROASTED BLACK GARLIC TONKOTSU and I barely tasted any garlic. Garlic is suppose to be the main theme of the dish but honestly the eggs were. The pork was excellently cooked but it lack balance with the bland broth. Fix the broth. You had like 7 people on the line. Even Munsok, the owner of Drunken Fish was there with one of his executive cooks while I was eating, hopefully giving you tips on how to spice up your broth! Third, I tried the BAO, braised pork belly and braised pulled pork. The buns were not fluffy and the braised pork was horrible. It is like you were trying to upset me on purpose by giving me that can pieced of meat. Nothing braised of flavorful about the pork. The pork belly, decent but not executed to perfection due to the lack of fluff in the bun. Damn, I felt like I wrote a story but I am willing to change this review on my second of third times around at Nami. Also don't take this as an attack to whoever owns this place. I want you to succeed and be the best spot in town to go get ramen. I want to tell all my people that we have an official ramen spot in town for them to go to, I know you are a new spot and because of that you will get business but as the months go by people will realize how crappy your broth and bao are and you can't have legit ramen without the broth. dp read more

Nami Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Went there last night to check it out, and was underwhelmed. Granted, they've only been open for 6 days, but I expected a little more for the price. I met up with a friend at 4:30 and we basically had the place to ourselves - yet it took almost 30 minutes for our food to arrive (including our pork bun appetizers). The pork buns were cold - not sure if they were supposed to be that way or just got cold because they were waiting for the ramen to be done. I ordered the traditional Ramen, and it was just ok. The pork belly seemed fattier than usual, and the broth was pretty bland. I've had ramen in Los Angeles and New York that had more flavor and cost less. This place wasn't even table service (walk up to order and pay) and I still paid $18 for 1 pork bun, ramen and a glass of ice water. The decor was nice, the staff was friendly, but I don't see myself going back. Between the meter parking, the cramped community tables, the overall tininess of the restaurant, the price, and the lackluster flavor, I'm not in love. There are a few other ramen spots popping up, and I'll likely be checking those out. read more

3.5 stars, really. I wanted to wait till Nami worked out its kinks but my friends are so crazy about ramen that they dragged me here within a week of it opening. The reviews seem incredibly unfair--bbq restaurants run out of meat all the time, it totally makes sense that this place would run out of noodles, especially given the lack of ramen shops in the city and the anticipation over its opening. Also, the crew seems to still be figuring out how to work together, which makes sense, it's so early! We picked Sunday because it was 19 degrees out and who doesn't love a hot bowl of rich, creamy broth in freezing weather?! The black garlic ramen was amazing. Our entire table got either black garlic or the signature and we were all satisfied with all of it. The noodles are perfectly made with the right, chewy consistency. The broth is divine, and the two giant slices of pork in each bowl is great for the price. I also like the extra seasoning options at the table. The downside? The consistency is way off. One of my friends got no bean sprouts, and I don't like that the eggs arrived cold, on the side. Not sure if that's supposed to be authentic but I'd prefer them warm and IN my soup. My friend got a beer but unfortunately, it was warm. And the pork belly buns were definitely not worth the price. For $3 we were expecting a decent amount of pork and for it to be juicy and tasty. My husband and I each got a bun with ONE slice of pork belly in it, and NO sauce. I asked for hoisin sauce and they didn't have any. I could barely eat it, it was so dry. What was even worse was when our friends got their buns, they had a whopping FOUR pieces of pork belly in each bun. That is way off! We did tell the manager and hopefully they will make sure they are consistent every time. Everyone should be getting a sizable amount for $3 on such a small little bun, them's New York prices. It's just so exciting to see a place in St Louis that has nothing but ramen on their menu, I don't mind paying as long as it's delicious, which it was. This place will be doing real well until the rest of the three slated ramen shops open up this year! Hopefully they can handle the rush and work out their little issues, because I definitely want to come back. read more

Really too expensive. We got the breakfast ramen and the spicy, jigoku. The spicy was pretty good, but the breakfast ramen was terrible. It is disgusting to say the least; the bacon clashes horribly with the broth. It's overpriced maruchan (40¢ cup ramen). Go somewhere else or experiment with your own ramen creations unless you're into paying 35x what your food is worth. That said, the jigoku was okay. Spice was nothing special, but it wasn't *bad* like the breakfast ramen. read more

Nami ramen is a restaurant that was hyped to epic proportions. The one ramen joint to rule them all (at least until the one on Cherokee St. opens). Unfortunately, despite the insanely trendy decor, friendly service, and hip location, Nami Ramen fails to impress and is a seriously poor value for the money. Founder Jason Jan (of the Froyo franchise fortune) wowed everyone with his popup last year in Clayton and I think a lot of people who bought into the hype then are now pissed and disappointed at the final product. I ordered the black garlic tonkotsu (their "signature" tonkotsu is almost inedible, but more on that later) and it was serviceable, with a generous dollop of black garlic oil to lend a sweet garlicky undertone to the heavy broth. I really liked Nami's approach to toppings- the hard boiled egg was of perfect consistency and their chashu topping was rich and meaty, unlike the paltry shavings you'd get at Robata in Maplewood. The noodles are good, but that is about it in terms of positives of their product. What makes or breaks the ramen is the broth, and good god is it bad at Nami. My dining companion's tonkotsu was sour- and not in a good way. She could not finish her portion and left somewhat rageful given the high cost of the product. While I enjoyed the black garlic tonkotsu, I also wondered how much of my enjoyment came from the fact that black garlic oil is pretty potent and can mask any weird tastes that might lurk in the broth. If this was a $8 bowl in a LA strip mall I would be more understanding, but since this is not momofuku noodle bar in NYC it's almost extortionate to charge momofuku prices. I really wanted to like Nami. It's clear that a few weeks in they still have some issues that need to be sorted out. St. Louis deserves better, and while i believe that establishments like ramen tei and robata are just there to cash in on a fad, Nami has potential that it isn't living up towards. This is one restaurant that I hope can step their game up in the future. read more

Food: 1 Star Service: 4 Stars Incredibly disappointed. My husband and I checked out Nami Ramen this weekend. I was so excited to see a ramen restaurant open up in the Clayton area. Looking at all the photos, the restaurant looked clean and upbeat while the food looked amazing! Let me just say... Never judge a book by it's cover! (Or in this case, it's photos!) We walked into a very clean, modern, minimalistic space and were immediately greeted by super friendly staff. The menu was simple and easy to read. I was a little taken away by the prices, but a.) we were in Clayton b.) glancing into the restaurant I could see customers hovering over their massive bowls of broth and noodles. I figured you were getting your money's worth. We ordered the following: 1.) Tempura Shrimp Bao: This was probably the only item we thoroughly enjoyed. The steamed bun of soft and warm, filled with cucumber, shredded green onions, 1 tempura shrimp, and drizzled with a chipotle mayo. I could appreciate the fresh ingredients and crisp veggies, but $3 for 1 steamed bun was ridiculous. Bring it down to $2.50 and I may consider coming back for more. 2.) Seafood Ramen: Just no. The presentation was lovely, a bowl of noodles and fragrant broth, topped with a small bed of crab meat, a soft boiled egg and a side of tempura shrimp. But wait... my bowl of noodles was luke warm. My noodles were JUST cooked enough to eat. Luke warm broth and noodles? No bueno. Even worse, the broth was way too greasy! I ate about a quarter of my meal before I couldn't eat any more. I decided to pack up the left overs and see what the broth looked like after it was chilled. That night, I took the left overs out from the fridge.... The broth had completely congealed. Gross. Good broth does NOT look like this. 3.)Jigoku Ramen: While I preferred the taste of this broth over the broth in my Seafood Ramen, it was still way too oily. I could appreciate the fresh ingredients in this dish, however I couldn't get over the fact that the noodles were sub par and luke warm. Going to open up a ramen shop? Invest in better noodles and learn how to cook them, please. 4.) Beer: Overpriced imported beer in pretty bottles. Total: $40... FOR LUNCH!!! wtf?! The punch: If you're going to open up a ramen restaurant, you better know how to make an amazing broth and more importantly- how to cook ramen noodles. I'd rather eat pre-packaged ramen noodles for a month then walk into this place again. Seriously guys, don't waste your money here. read more

I would give Nami Ramen 3.5 stars in all honesty, but I'll bump it up to 4 because I know I have unrealistically high expectations for ramen. After eating at Daikokuya in L.A., I can never look at ramen the same again! I'm really excited that St. Louis is jumping on the ramen bandwagon, so I was looking forward to checking this place out with my friend and husband. We got there around 3 on a Saturday, so there were only a few other people in the restaurant. There was no wait to order and the food came out fairly quickly. I got the Nami Signature Tonkotsu ramen bowl (I'm not messing around with vegetarian or butter ramen or any of that stuff!). Verdict: it was good; not amazing, but good. There was nothing special about the noodles and the few slices of pork belly were sliced pretty thinly and tasted okay. However, the broth was very flavorful and rich; it was my favorite part of the ramen. I've also had the ramen at Ramen Tei and I would say that I enjoy Nami's broth more. The atmosphere is trendy, of course (how would it not be in the middle of Clayton?). It's a little on the pricey side, but I would come back again, depending on how St. Louis's other ramen spots measure up. Go and check it out for yourself! read more

I'm all for new cuisine in STL, but I can't say I'm impress. Price: they must pay crazy rent to be in Clayton... Or why else would they charge 2x more than ramen house in LA? Atomsphere: cool hip decore, but its really loud with the high ceilings. Large tables, so if you don't want to sit shoulder to shoulder with strangers, this is not the place for you. As for the parents who brought their children under age of 5....might want to consider take out next time. The society is just not ready for your adorable ones. Just think of the poor waitress who will have to hose down the area around the table after your child throw pieces of noodles every where. No amount of tip is going to make up for THAT mess. Food: once you get pass the highway robbery prices and the wait, the food is decent. Good flavor broth. Then again, I might just be really hungry at this point..... I was a bit bitter about the tiny piece of pork shoulder I got with my ramen until i saw the couple pieces of bacon the guy across the table from me got. Upside? The soft boil egg was delicious. Service: the wait staff probably are nicest people ever.... Having to handle the crazy crowd, squeezing between the tables to get the good to you. So unless I win the 1.5 billion powerball jackpot, I'm going to stick to dressing up my $0.60 ramen. Side note: both my fiancee and I ended up having diarrhea. Mine was mild. Him... Not so much. Who knows if it was something else he ate. read more

Came for lunch with coworkers- not terribly crowded at 11:30, but really blew up after that. I got the black garlic ramen and its was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it! I do wish there were a few more ingredients, like mushrooms or something in it, but the portion was definitely big for lunch. The food came pretty quickly, and we were able to get in and out in less than an hour. I appreciated that. The price was a little high for lunch in Clayton - over $15 for soup is a little high. read more

The best I can say is meh. The food was meh. The service was meh. The prices were high. I LOVE authentic ramen but I won't be back. read more

So when this place first opened it had a lot of negative reviews because bottom line they just didn't have things together. We gave them some time for them to figure out their supply, service, etc and checked them out this week, after they've been open for a couple months. Meh about describes it. I really wanted to like Nami ramen. The restaurant itself is a nice space and very modern. It could totally have potential but the bottom line is that you can't just look pretty and serve subpar food. I had the roasted black garlic tonkatsu ramen, my husband had the tsukemen. Noodles are fine the problem and it's a serious one is that the broth just doesn't cut it. I found it to just be incredibly bland, the black garlic oil didn't do really anything to save it. There just was no substance to it. I don't even think a lack of good ramen places in St. Louis is going to be enough for me to want to go back here. read more

Ramen is just Ok. Very mediocre. Very pricey compared to Nudo. Still a reasonable place to visit. But far from authentic Japanese ramen

Yes, it's a little expensive for ramen but the flavors are well worth it. Our table got roasted black garlic Tonkotsu, seafood Ramen and Jigoku Ramen. Everyone said they enjoyed their meal. I got the seafood ramen and it was scrumptious.. I have to come back to try the other flavors soon. The interiors are trendy, their beer/sake/wine selection is decent, the service is good, I got no complaints :) read more

We enjoyed our trip to Nami Ramen. This was our first time ordering Ramen out. Of course I have had some Ramen at home. I wanted to order a few different items to sample the variety of things offered. But since I didn't know the portion size I kept it simple. I got the chicken nugget appetizer. It was spicy and good. The dipping sauce was good. I'm not sure if the nuggets or the sauce is what was spicy. I had the grill chicken ramen. It was good. When I return I plan to get try a rice bowl. I might try the teriyaki beef. I recommend this place. The prices are more than I expect for ramen considering it's a cheap food at the grocery stare But the prices weren't too high either. read more

I really wanted to like this place more. I liked the atmosphere, the long tables and the presentation. We met and chatted with some new people sharing our table. But there were a lot of cons. I can get Ramen, salad and a little side for 10 dollars in Chicago. And in other places a decent bowl of good Ramen is under 10, especially given the meat portion. Here the one bowl was 13. Broth was okay on the signature, a little too much oil, which left a film on your tongue. If I were to go back, I'd try the garlic. They also need to shake out some operational kinks. No carbonation in the soda and no toilet paper were a little inconvientant. Overall, we'll likely keep searching for good Ramen. read more

I'm very upset at everyone writing all of these awful reviews! Have a heart people, think about someone reviewing your work, how would it look? If you go, probably no matter when, you'll have a wait so just prepare! Yes there are some hiccups, but have you ever seen any new restaurant open up and not be shaky on the first few days??? We went on their 3rd day and they are really getting it together. The wait staff works HARD and always checking to make sure you got your food and if it was right. If not they are placing things on the fly and the speed of the kitchen is great to do this and keep the line of orders coming. Space is amazing and I think they are in the works of getting a good system down. Now what matters, the FOOD! It was Great ramen and we will be back to sample all of them. I've had New York ramen and it definitely compares, portions are a tad smaller BUT I love that because neither of us finished our bowls anyway. Roasted Black Garlic TONKOTSU- is extremely good and exactly what we were looking for; great flavor, good broth consistency and meat cooked well. JIGOKU- this is the spicy one and yes they say it is super spicy BUT that's just if you are eating the broth alone. If you are taking a bite of the amazing ground pork, noodles, corn, etc it is perfect!! All in all both bowls are great but I would order the roasted garlic again! Shout out to a successful first weekend opening!!!! read more

This used to be the best ramen place in St Louis but they've changed their noodles from ramen to either vermicelli or angel hair and I have no idea why. read more

What a nice establishment.... We visited Nami for lunch. It's exciting to put Ramen on the map in St. Louis. It's about time! Service, 5 stars! There was an issue with my Ramen, and they made me a new one right away, fixing the issue. For appetizers, we had braised pork belly, and braised pulled pork bao. They were very, very good. I had ROASTED BLACK GARLIC TONKOTSU $14.10, and BUTTER MISO RAMEN $13.80. Granted that I grew up eating and LOVING Ramen in Japan, my assessment of any Ramen shops out side of Japan would not be fair, but I really could tell that this business was putting lots of efforts to this bawl of goodness. I appreciate what they are trying to do. Here is my break down: Men (Noodle) - Totally authentic Japanese Ramen noodle! Perfect texture, has perfect curls, and color (yes, I am still talking about noodle:). Tare (Sauce base) - Solid "Tare" for both Roasted Black Garlic and Miso. I appreciated that Roasted Black Garlic was really roasted. So Good! I'd like to know if they put tare in the bawl and pour Dashi over it, or the other way around.... that would make a huge difference. Dashi - (Soup base) - They use pork base (tonkotsu). This is where I think they can improve in flavor. I accidentally got to try it as is (without sauce base) and it was a very clean taste but there was something missing... I wish if I can pin point, but sorry... Gu (Topping) - braised pork, perfectly cooked eggs, and onion, and corn. Ours were missing Menma. Again, I could tell the care that went into making this braised pork. It can up a flavor just a bit more. When you put together all components above, the end product was, well lets say, very elegant Ramen. We liked it. Didn't love it, but liked it very much. To me, Ramen is something you crave after a night of heavy drinking. You need that "one, two and punch", in order to bring your customer back to the door again and again. Nami's Ramen was nice. They had good components. I wish that they can find that "punch", then I would love it! I have faith that this business will continue to strive to create Ramen that would bring people to their restaurant again and again. I would love to give it a try in few month. Thank you for your great service! Good luck Nami Ramen! read more

Well, we tried to eat dinner here tonight but despite the posted hours online AND on the door they aren't open until 7. Not impressed at all and will probably not even try the place despite it being around the corner from our house. read more

New to the area so we decided to try the local Ramen spot considering we loved Ramen in NYC. I got the seafood Ramen and it lacked flavor. It was just boring and the crab was too mushy for Ramen. The wife ordered the vegetable Ramen with a hard boiled egg and they sent her a soft boiled egg instead. She wasn't thrilled with her Ramen either. Not a bad place but we will look elsewhere for Ramen from now on. read more

I'm being honest and sincere when I say that after the massive influx of customers trying out Nami Ramen for the first time finally dies down (2-3 months perhaps), you'll notice a marked decline in volume and an eventual closure of Nami Ramen. This place just doesn't have "it" and there are far too many negatives to offset the mediocre ramen they're dishing up. 1) The "order-at-the-counter" concept (which is reserved for FAST/EFFICIENT restaurants, not a place that takes 20 minutes to serve one order), should be switched to table ordering. 2) To put it mildly, the pricing structure is a bit overzealous. If you've ever been to LA, NYC, or even Boston, the ramen places there are significantly better and HALF the price. Sure, Clayton real estate costs more than other municipalities, but you guys missed the mark here, big time. 3) Serious question: Why the nauseating prison-style seating? Most of us don't love sitting next to sneezers/coughers and loud children, or shoulder-to-shoulder with complete strangers shoveling sloppy wet food into their mouths. 4) Food wise, this place wouldn't even appear on the bottom of my list of Top-10 ramen restaurants. 5) When I see these "Jeez guys give them a break" or "cut them some slack" reviews, I want to laugh. This isn't a middle school science fair. New restaurants HAVE to compete for customers' dollars like every other business. Accepting shoddy service/quality doesn't do a new business any favors. They either have to adapt and improve their faults, or default on their business loan. It's not our responsibility as customers to coddle them. TL;DR: This outfit seems doomed from the start. They tried... I'll give them that, and I'll thank them for their (albeit sloppy) attempt to bring another ramen restaurant to the community. But this is a bush league operation. 1-2 stars overall. read more

The service is horrible. The guy taking my order barely spoke, much less smiled. I waited awhile considering there were 5 other people in the restaurant at 8:00 pm. I had ordered my food to go. Of course, it came out in a bowll on a tray. I asked for it to be "to go" as I had ordered it. So I saw my food sit for 5 minutes on the counter. It was finally packed up for me and handed to me without a word. No "I'm sorry for your wait." That goes a long way. I'm sorry, but there is no way that this place will last with the reviews I've seen. The food may be good, but its overpriced and not worth it. read more

A friend and I came here for dinner on a Wednesday night, so the restaurant wasn't super busy or crazy packed. We ordered our ramen at the counter and found seats right away (we sat next to another group of 2 at a 4 person table). I ordered the shredded curry chicken bao and the Jigoku Ramen. I really liked the curry chicken bao and my friend enjoyed the pork belly bao. I agree with some of the other reviewers who think the ramen broth is a bit bland. The broth could definitely use more seasoning/spice. If Ippudo NY was a 5/5, I would give this place 3/5 stars right now. However, I believe Nami Ramen has the potential to become a really good ramen place in Saint Louis. read more

So my wife and I have been craving Ramen for some time now. Nothing in STL that has even made use give a 1 out of 5 rating. The Italian Ramen at Pasteria has been the best we could find so far and that is "Italian" Ramen. We saw Nami in a STL food magazine. We read the reviews on yelp...which have not been good. But we said, they have only been open for 2 weeks. So let me start with my ratings: Starter: Boa - pork shoulder --VERY DRY Boa - Tempura shrimp --really good **The Boa bun is spot on. Ramen: Roasted Black Garlic Tonkotsu - Here is thing, i love garlic, but this was strong. Not to say i didn't like it. They did miss putting ingredients in the Ramen, for this bowl it was sprouts. The meet that is put in ramen was almost uneatable as it was 97% fat. With all the goods and bads, I thought it was overall 3.5 out 5. Sho Me, Shoyou Ramen - Now this broth was on point for sure. I have been to many great ramen shops in Tokyo and this hit it. Unfortunately the ramen was in a square like it came out of a 15 cent top ramen pack. That said, I still liked the noodles. Again the meet was uneatable. And lastly they forgot to put ingredients in the ramen again ( corn and sprouts). The complete unfortunate part about this review is that when the very nice server asked me how everything was and I told him of the missing ingredients....not that I want anything because I was satisfied....He went and told Jason the owner and nothing...not even a look up...In so many ways it showed me how treats his clientele and that is unfortunate. So to Jason....I give you a 1.... To your soup....overall I give you a 3.5 read more

I would say that for a launch day my experience wasn't bad. The wait staff was a little less than sure. The vibe felt frantic but that was likely because of the late orders or missed order for some table. I did like the decor as it felt well setup. That being said we didn't have much of a delay on our order. I ordered the kaarage chicken bites and a pork belly bao as apps. For entree I had the signature tonkotsu and my wife had the seafood ramen. All in all not bad. The chicken bites were tasty but perhaps could have been larger and hotter. They also could have used something like lemon to brighten them up from their already slightly oily nature. The bao was just so so. I would think that the pork belly would be more moist. It seemed to me that it was over cooked or dry somehow. The ramen was ok. I felt that the noodle was not adequate in portion. It was also slightly firmer than I would have like it but had a good taste. My tonkotsu soup was decent but I feel it could have been creamier in a pork way. Also I thought that the amount of meat was slightly inadequate; tiny little slivers of meat don't hold up very well against all that soup. My wife's seafood ramen was tomato based. That soup was not rich enough. It just seemed flat. The shrimp were nicely fried. I would like to have given this more stars but I just didn't feel it after waiting so long. I will review it again in a bit and hopefully it can be that go-to noodle fix I so want in St. Louis. read more

My second time here. Pro: - Flavorful and hits the spot - clean - the bao was fluffy and had a nice portion of filing -quick service Con: - pretty salty (by the end i already had about three cups of water) - not enough ramen!! Especially for $14.99 (including tax) bowl of their house special, which is one of the lowest priced bowls read more

It's great. The vibe is good and the food is fast but that's not what's important. I love the ramen. I've had it a lot and everything is great. The eggs are perfectly cooked. the pork belly is great and it has great spicy options. I would easily recommend this. read more
