I've been here twice and had excellent experience both times. The first time I got a beef dish, I'll have to look up the name. I was asked if I wanted the beef cut into smaller pieces or larger. I said smaller and I swear the pieces were 2-3" square chunks. Every piece was deliciously tender, obviously top quality meat. The salad was crisp and fresh and the miso soup had good flavor. It might have been just a grand opening special or something but the soup and salad were both all you could eat. I had two cups of the Miso + 2 bowls of the salad. I loved the rice vinegar dressing on the salad. I agree that the main course was a little bit on the bland side but still delicious. The server did ask if I wanted any soy sauce but I'm trying to avoid things like that because of the sodium so I declined. I would have loved a glass of sake on the side but they don't have their liquor license yet. They are working on it. In the meantime you are welcome to BYOB.
My server was a young man who did an excellent job. There were quite a few people in the place and he obviously had his hands full trying to take care of everyone but he checked back with me to see if I needed anything several times. Two different men, owners I think, stopped by to check in with me and see if everything was satisfactory, which it was.
The second time I stopped by for lunch just now, 1.6.20. It was cold out and I was in a soup mood. I was actually on my way to another place when I drove past this one and remembered I had wanted to come back here so I decided to stop by and see if they had a lunch menu or any specials. They didn't have either but they did have the ramen soup which they had just started offering. I decided to order it. It turned out to be a gigantic bowl of ramen noodles in the most delicious broth ever, rich and full flavored. In it were plenty of top quality onions that tasted delicious and various other vegetables including cabbage, carrots, mushrooms + pieces of juicy tender pork throughout. There was a little bit of something red on the top that I think was a variety of kimchi and it was delicious. I was wishing there was more of it. About the only thing I would change would be maybe to add a chunk of lime on the side for those that might enjoy that flavor. Again the Miso and the salad were delicious. The Ramen soup was so wonderful. I ate the whole bowl. Usually I eat half my meal and save half for lunch the next day but there were no leftovers from this meal it was just too good to stop eating it. There were plenty of noodles which I was glad of because if I'm in the mood for noodles I want lots of them. This was not lacking. I got some green tea to have on the side and my only objection to the whole meal was that when I peeked in the teapot I was surprised to see tea bags rather than loose leaf tea. If they want to go to the next level I suggest using real green tea not tea bags. Otherwise it was pretty much a perfect meal. They bring ramen to a new level. Highly recommended. read more
