ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 11/1/2017 | Brian W. | Fremont, CA | 3 star rating | Came here around 7:00pm on a Tuesday evening with my boyfriend. The wait was only 5 minutes. Interior of the restaurant looks nice, clean, and spacious. The servers were welcoming and attentive.
I ordered the Spicy Ajisen Ramen, and he ordered the Ajisen Ramen. The portions that came out were large, which I was pretty happy about. The ramen noodles had the perfect amount of bite to them, which I really enjoyed. In contrast to some other reviews, I liked the flavor and the thickness of the chashu.
There were a few tough and tendon-y pieces in the chashu that came with my ramen though, which I decided not to eat. I was also hoping the egg would be a little more undercooked. The ramen broth itself seemed a little watered-down; it was flavorful, but it didn't have that thick, rich, and yummy consistency you find at places with more expensive ramen. Just a random note - I feel as though the ramen could come with something green (maybe spinach, or a lot more green onions than they actually gave) to make the ramen look more delicious and hearty. Otherwise, it just looks like a big bowl of coffee-colored or orange-colored food (depending on what you order).
For $11 though, I think it was worth it. Would definitely recommend if you want a cheap and quick bite! | ['came', 'around', ':pm', 'tuesday', 'evening', 'boyfriend', 'wait', 'minute', 'interior', 'restaurant', 'look', 'nice', 'clean', 'spacious', 'server', 'welcome', 'attentive', 'order', 'spicy', 'ajisen', 'ramen', 'order', 'ajisen', 'ramen', 'portion', 'come', 'large', 'pretty', 'happy', 'ramen', 'noodle', 'perfect', 'amount', 'bite', 'really', 'enjoy', 'contrast', 'review', 'like', 'flavor', 'thickness', 'chashu', 'tough', 'tendon-y', 'piece', 'chashu', 'come', 'ramen', 'though', 'decide', 'eat', 'also', 'hop', 'egg', 'would', 'little', 'undercooked', 'ramen', 'broth', 'seem', 'little', 'watered-down', 'flavorful', 'thick', 'rich', 'yummy', 'consistency', 'find', 'place', 'expensive', 'ramen', 'random', 'note', 'feel', 'though', 'ramen', 'could', 'come', 'something', 'green', 'maybe', 'spinach', 'lot', 'green', 'onion', 'actually', 'give', 'make', 'ramen', 'look', 'delicious', 'hearty', 'otherwise', 'look', 'like', 'big', 'bowl', 'coffee-colored', 'orange-colored', 'food', 'depend', 'order', 'though', 'think', 'worth', 'would', 'definitely', 'recommend', 'want', 'cheap', 'quick', 'bite'] | came around :pm tuesday evening boyfriend wait minute interior restaurant look nice clean spacious server welcome attentive order spicy ajisen ramen order ajisen ramen portion come large pretty happy ramen noodle perfect amount bite really enjoy contrast review like flavor thickness chashu tough tendon-y piece chashu come ramen though decide eat also hop egg would little undercooked ramen broth seem little watered-down flavorful thick rich yummy consistency find place expensive ramen random note feel though ramen could come something green maybe spinach lot green onion actually give make ramen look delicious hearty otherwise look like big bowl coffee-colored orange-colored food depend order though think worth would definitely recommend want cheap quick bite | 0.2 | 0.01 | 0.8 | 0.99 | positive |

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 7/18/2017 | Janet L. | Midlothian, VA | 5 star rating | We were visiting NY on a vacation and this place was was right across the street from our hotel. My son is into trying new foods and had never been to a ramen place (neither had we). He begged to go so we stepped out for dinner on a Thursday night.
We walked in and were almost immediately greeted with a smile and seated near a window. We were pleasantly surprised at the inside since the outside makes it look so much smaller. It was not terribly busy when we went.
Alice was our waitress and she was very friendly and helpful as we had a few questions before ordering.
We had the chicken teriyaki ramen, pork buns, gyoza and a pork ramen bowl. No complaints at all about the food.
My husband literally has been dreaming about pork buns since he last visited NYC a few years back. Ajisen makes theirs a little different as they use pork belly. He was in love with their recipe! He even ordered more to go to have as a late night snack at the hotel. I love gyoza and theirs was so very tasty! My son tried both and loved them. He almost ate 2 whole orders of the gyoza himself!
As for the ramen.....It arrived piping hot to us and the smell of the food was killing us as we stirred it around to cool it down. It was amazing! Our mouths were watering waiting to get a bite into our mouth!
Everything about the ramen was delicious! The meat was tender and the broth was flavorful. We added some of the "ramen pepper" which is a blend of black pepper, onion powder and something else. It really did add a pop of extra flavor.
We also ordered bubble teas. We tried the passion fruit and the coconut. HOLY BUBBLE TEA! We love bubble tea and order it every chance we get. The passion fruit was good, but the coconut was like a refreshing oasis that we didn't know we needed. We ordered an extra one of these too!
Steven came over to bring our teas. Our son was wearing a Dragon Ball shirt and Steven took the time to talk to our son about Gorky and the likes. He actually gave my son time to talk and he listened. It made his night.
Kiddo asked for extra chop sticks because, well, he's 9 and chopsticks are cool. We were given plenty extra with a smile.
Between the food, bubble teas, Alice and Steven, this was pretty much our favorite dining experience during our 6 days in New York. We plan to go back and may stay in a different area, but Ajisen in Chelsea is already on our go back to list! | ['visit', 'vacation', 'place', 'right', 'across', 'street', 'hotel', 'son', 'try', 'new', 'food', 'never', 'ramen', 'place', 'neither', 'beg', 'step', 'dinner', 'thursday', 'night', 'walk', 'almost', 'immediately', 'greet', 'smile', 'seat', 'near', 'window', 'pleasantly', 'surprise', 'inside', 'since', 'outside', 'make', 'look', 'much', 'small', 'terribly', 'busy', 'alice', 'waitress', 'friendly', 'helpful', 'question', 'order', 'chicken', 'teriyaki', 'ramen', 'pork', 'bun', 'gyoza', 'pork', 'ramen', 'bowl', 'complaint', 'food', 'husband', 'literally', 'dream', 'pork', 'bun', 'since', 'last', 'visit', 'nyc', 'year', 'back', 'ajisen', 'make', 'little', 'different', 'use', 'pork', 'belly', 'love', 'recipe', 'even', 'order', 'late', 'night', 'snack', 'hotel', 'love', 'gyoza', 'tasty', 'son', 'try', 'love', 'almost', 'eat', 'whole', 'order', 'gyoza', 'ramen', '.....', 'arrive', 'pip', 'hot', 'smell', 'food', 'kill', 'stir', 'around', 'cool', 'amaze', 'mouth', 'water', 'wait', 'get', 'bite', 'mouth', 'everything', 'ramen', 'delicious', 'meat', 'tender', 'broth', 'flavorful', 'add', 'ramen', 'pepper', 'blend', 'black', 'pepper', 'onion', 'powder', 'something', 'else', 'really', 'add', 'pop', 'extra', 'flavor', 'also', 'order', 'try', 'passion', 'fruit', 'coconut', 'holy', 'love', 'order', 'every', 'chance', 'get', 'passion', 'fruit', 'good', 'coconut', 'like', 'refreshing', 'oasis', 'know', 'need', 'order', 'extra', 'one', 'steven', 'come', 'bring', 'son', 'wear', 'dragon', 'ball', 'shirt', 'steven', 'take', 'time', 'talk', 'son', 'gorky', 'like', 'actually', 'give', 'son', 'time', 'talk', 'listen', 'make', 'night', 'kiddo', 'ask', 'extra', 'chop', 'stick', 'well', 'chopstick', 'cool', 'give', 'plenty', 'extra', 'smile', 'food', 'alice', 'steven', 'pretty', 'much', 'favorite', 'dining', 'experience', 'day', 'new', 'york', 'plan', 'back', 'may', 'stay', 'different', 'area', 'ajisen', 'chelsea', 'already', 'back', 'list'] | visit vacation place right across street hotel son try new food never ramen place neither beg step dinner thursday night walk almost immediately greet smile seat near window pleasantly surprise inside since outside make look much small terribly busy alice waitress friendly helpful question order chicken teriyaki ramen pork bun gyoza pork ramen bowl complaint food husband literally dream pork bun since last visit nyc year back ajisen make little different use pork belly love recipe even order late night snack hotel love gyoza tasty son try love almost eat whole order gyoza ramen ..... arrive pip hot smell food kill stir around cool amaze mouth water wait get bite mouth everything ramen delicious meat tender broth flavorful add ramen pepper blend black pepper onion powder something else really add pop extra flavor also order try passion fruit coconut holy love order every chance get passion fruit good coconut like refreshing oasis know need order extra one steven come bring son wear dragon ball shirt steven take time talk son gorky like actually give son time talk listen make night kiddo ask extra chop stick well chopstick cool give plenty extra smile food alice steven pretty much favorite dining experience day new york plan back may stay different area ajisen chelsea already back list | 0.14 | 0.01 | 0.85 | 0.99 | positive |

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 5/29/2017 | Tanya L. | San Francisco, CA | 5 star rating | I wandered in, enticed by their happy hour specials and the promise of warm, savory broth on a cold (!) "summer" night.
There are many appealing items on the menu. Allow me to point you to two:
The classic gyoza and the classic ramen. Both are perfectly done.
Those moist and delicious mouthfuls of steamed pork and veggie joy, lightly seared on their bottoms...the broth of that soup which makes you glad you were stuck at an airport due to a Delta delay and missed lunch because you already had the wake up wrap with Turkey sausage at Dunkin Donuts...
Broth so balanced and tasty, it recalls the late night ramen at the Golden Nugget, when the booze and discount buy ins rub off and you are famished so everything is the culinary equivalent of beer goggles
I digress.
The broth is awesome. Tiny feedback? The egg could be less cooked and the seaweed crispy (aka placed not soaked) but perhaps it is tourist central here and they are catering to less finicky crowd.
Either way, I am surprised the reviews aren't higher. I had a great dinner in a relaxed setting and Alice was wonderfully friendly and considerate! | ['wander', 'entice', 'happy', 'hour', 'special', 'promise', 'warm', 'savory', 'broth', 'cold', 'summer', 'night', 'many', 'appeal', 'item', 'menu', 'allow', 'point', 'two', 'classic', 'gyoza', 'classic', 'ramen', 'perfectly', 'moist', 'delicious', 'mouthful', 'steamed', 'pork', 'veggie', 'joy', 'lightly', 'sear', 'bottom', '...', 'broth', 'soup', 'make', 'glad', 'stick', 'airport', 'due', 'delta', 'delay', 'miss', 'lunch', 'already', 'wake', 'wrap', 'turkey', 'sausage', 'dunkin', 'donut', '...', 'broth', 'balance', 'tasty', 'recall', 'late', 'night', 'ramen', 'golden', 'nugget', 'booze', 'discount', 'buy', 'rub', 'famish', 'everything', 'culinary', 'equivalent', 'beer', 'goggles', 'digress', 'broth', 'awesome', 'tiny', 'feedback', 'egg', 'could', 'less', 'cooked', 'seaweed', 'crispy', 'aka', 'place', 'soak', 'perhaps', 'tourist', 'central', 'cater', 'less', 'finicky', 'crowd', 'either', 'way', 'surprise', 'review', 'high', 'great', 'dinner', 'relaxed', 'setting', 'alice', 'wonderfully', 'friendly', 'considerate'] | wander entice happy hour special promise warm savory broth cold summer night many appeal item menu allow point two classic gyoza classic ramen perfectly moist delicious mouthful steamed pork veggie joy lightly sear bottom ... broth soup make glad stick airport due delta delay miss lunch already wake wrap turkey sausage dunkin donut ... broth balance tasty recall late night ramen golden nugget booze discount buy rub famish everything culinary equivalent beer goggles digress broth awesome tiny feedback egg could less cooked seaweed crispy aka place soak perhaps tourist central cater less finicky crowd either way surprise review high great dinner relaxed setting alice wonderfully friendly considerate | 0.18 | 0.04 | 0.78 | 0.98 | positive |

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 5/26/2017 | John S. | Littleton, CO | 2 star rating | The soup and the non fried appetizers were good. The duck buns were great. However, I would NOT return and heres why:
1. The shrimp and vegetable tempura was HORRIBLE: the breading was inedible, hard as a rock, thick and just inedible. I returned it and the waitress said" Its always made this way" I informed her I eat Japanese and chinese food all the time and this was NOT the way tempura should be. NO apology, no manager, and no civility.
2. They were slow to bring you things you ask for. I asked for extra gyoza dipping sauce and she didnt bring it and then waited to check on us. AND forgot I even asked her and acted as if it was an inconvenience.
3. The servers, near the register near the kitchen, were talking nastily about customers IN FRONT OF seated customers like us. I worked as a sever years ago: You NEVER EVER do this. They had horrible manners and didnt understand how to act with customers.
4. I asked for the check since we were in a hurry and they forgot. I had to ask AGAIN.
5. Lastly: I went to call the manager at their number: 646-638-0888 to complain about all of this at 10 AM on a friday: NO answer and NO voicemail set up.

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 5/6/2017 | Dawn L. | West New York, NJ | 1 star rating | This place used to be my favorite ramen place in ny but not anymore. I always order Spicy Ajisen and it's been more than 2 years since my first visit. I could totally see its change, in a bad way, every time I visit here. Meat used to be super soft, egg used to be fantastic, abundance of soup with lots of veggies including bean sprouts. But I began to see overcooked meats, mashed egg, lack of soup and poor amount of veggies since the beginning of last year, and sometimes I couldn't find any bean sprout in the soup like today.

We also got the passion fruit bubble tea and milk bubble tea both of which were good.

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 2/22/2017 | Steve N. | Brooklyn, NY | 4 star rating | I'm a fan of Ajisen Ramen. I've had their ramen/sushi countless times over the past year and have never been disappointed. I usually gravitate towards their Ajisen Deluxe Ramen with a mid spicy broth. You eat that and you're gold. Mix that with a Sapporo and you my friend are flying high.
The wait staff is very accommodating as well. My one friend was struck with feelings of euphoria upon seeing the fair haired server. But, as we have learnt from Larry David, one should try not to shit where they like to eat.
Overall great food and great experience.

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 1/2/2017 | Reena B. | Jersey City, NJ | 2 star rating | This is a review for Pickup.
Was that seriously a box of spaghetti I saw in the kitchen as I went to pick up my order? Yup.
Food: Ordered the spicy pork ramen with an egg on Seamless. The egg was an extra charge (which I think its overpriced and all Ramen should come with an egg). I went in and saw boxes of spaghetti in the back. Not impressed. It did not taste like real ramen. The broth itself is very tasty and they earn a star just for that.
Service: I ordered in advance but they didn't even get to my order until I got there. The staff was friendly enough.
Price: It's fine for NYC lunch.
Decor: Just a takeout order so I didn't eat in. From what I saw, it was a casual place, typically crowded style of NY eateries.
Notable Extras: Nothing to note here. | ['review', 'pickup', 'seriously', 'box', 'spaghetti', 'saw', 'kitchen', 'pick', 'order', 'yup', 'food', 'order', 'spicy', 'pork', 'ramen', 'egg', 'seamless', 'egg', 'extra', 'charge', 'think', 'overprice', 'ramen', 'come', 'egg', 'saw', 'box', 'spaghetti', 'back', 'impressed', 'taste', 'like', 'real', 'ramen', 'broth', 'tasty', 'earn', 'star', 'service', 'order', 'advance', 'even', 'get', 'order', 'get', 'staff', 'friendly', 'enough', 'price', 'fine', 'nyc', 'lunch', 'decor', 'takeout', 'order', 'eat', 'saw', 'casual', 'place', 'typically', 'crowded', 'style', 'eatery', 'notable', 'extra', 'nothing', 'note'] | review pickup seriously box spaghetti saw kitchen pick order yup food order spicy pork ramen egg seamless egg extra charge think overprice ramen come egg saw box spaghetti back impressed taste like real ramen broth tasty earn star service order advance even get order get staff friendly enough price fine nyc lunch decor takeout order eat saw casual place typically crowded style eatery notable extra nothing note | 0.06 | 0.03 | 0.91 | 0.72 | positive |

Some are saying they don't use fresh ramen or what not, but honestly, it's really hard to distinguish for non ramen experts that simply crave a warm, comforting, ramen noodle soup.

The servers are adequate. Not the cleanest place, but it's not terrible. The water cups are plastic, which I hate. The pork buns ($7 for 2) are ok. Nothing to write home about. The ramen ranges from $10-$12, very reasonable. The noodles are slightly overcooked and the broth is very basic. The miso ramen came with three pieces of pork, half an egg, and bean sprouts.

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 3/19/2016 | Sunni D. | New York, NY | 1 star rating | Who knew a quick Ramen stop on 3/18 after the Megabus ride would turn into $700 dollars in debt. A friend and I dined at the restaurant one night. Experienced good service, food was okay but from the look of the establishment it would only be left to assume their food would be pretty average. After requesting a check to be split on two cards the waiter returned apologizing about charging only one card. He then asked if it would need to be corrected as requested. Our obvious response was yes. The cards we correctly charged and voided. Fast-forward to today my friend is missing $700 from his account. Being that this was the first purchase where the card left his possession this caused for a red flag to be thrown up by us and the Credit Card Fraud department.

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 3/4/2016 | Ray L. | Kew Gardens, Queens, NY | 2 star rating | I got FOOD POISONING here.......
OK I've been coming here and there at this place for the ramen and simple sushi since their dishes are simple and quick. Service is good. I come here for a quick bite and leave.
However this one Saturday I ate my usual dumplings and ajisan ramen. And I decided to try out one of their exotic sushi rolls, I don't remember the name but it had fruits and some exotic side.
So I ate it in the afternoon let's say 4pm-ish. Went home and hit the hay at 10pm..... Maybe after 30 mins I felt weird rumbling in me as a way of saying I need to hit the bathroom...... At midnight on the dot I was having WATERY DIARRHEA (imagine someone turing on a faucet and nothing but water coming out) and was VOMITING violently as though someone took a knife and stab upward into my sternum. For the whole entire night every hour or two, I am force to vomit and defecate painfully making me fatigue and unable to get a simple night rest...... I must have lost at least more than 2 gallons of body fluid.... So I went to my doctor the next morning and immediately gave me IV fluids..... Miraculously I recovered within a day.
I am pretty damn sure that the food I ate here has cause my physical distress.
This is my first yelp review.... By writing this, I HOPE THE MANAGER reads this and makes sure that the food supplies he has is in healthy condition....... Perhaps stay away from the sushi is my advice.......
The reason why I'm giving this place two stars is I've been coming here for more than a year, perhaps once every couple months and had good experience.
If this review doesn't deter you...... Well I did warn you..... Hope you have good health insurance and someone to drive you to the ER or doctors. | ['get', 'food', 'poisoning', '.......', 'come', 'place', 'ramen', 'simple', 'sushi', 'since', 'dish', 'simple', 'quick', 'service', 'good', 'come', 'quick', 'bite', 'leave', 'however', 'one', 'saturday', 'eat', 'usual', 'dumpling', 'ajisan', 'ramen', 'decide', 'try', 'one', 'exotic', 'sushi', 'roll', 'remember', 'name', 'fruit', 'exotic', 'side', 'eat', 'afternoon', 'let', 'say', 'pm-ish', 'went', 'home', 'hit', 'hay', '.....', 'maybe', 'min', 'felt', 'weird', 'rumbling', 'way', 'say', 'need', 'hit', 'bathroom', '......', 'midnight', 'dot', 'watery', 'diarrhea', 'imagine', 'someone', 'turing', 'faucet', 'nothing', 'water', 'come', 'vomiting', 'violently', 'though', 'someone', 'take', 'knife', 'stab', 'upward', 'sternum', 'whole', 'entire', 'night', 'every', 'hour', 'two', 'force', 'vomit', 'defecate', 'painfully', 'make', 'fatigue', 'unable', 'get', 'simple', 'night', 'rest', '......', 'must', 'lose', 'least', 'gallon', 'body', 'fluid', '....', 'doctor', 'next', 'morning', 'immediately', 'give', 'fluid', '.....', 'miraculously', 'recover', 'within', 'day', 'pretty', 'damn', 'sure', 'food', 'eat', 'physical', 'distress', 'first', 'yelp', 'review', '....', 'write', 'hope', 'manager', 'read', 'make', 'sure', 'food', 'supply', 'healthy', 'condition', '.......', 'perhaps', 'stay', 'away', 'sushi', 'advice', '.......', 'reason', 'give', 'place', 'two', 'star', 'come', 'year', 'perhaps', 'every', 'couple', 'month', 'good', 'experience', 'review', 'deter', '......', 'well', 'warn', '.....', 'hope', 'good', 'health', 'insurance', 'someone', 'drive', 'doctor'] | get food poisoning ....... come place ramen simple sushi since dish simple quick service good come quick bite leave however one saturday eat usual dumpling ajisan ramen decide try one exotic sushi roll remember name fruit exotic side eat afternoon let say pm-ish went home hit hay ..... maybe min felt weird rumbling way say need hit bathroom ...... midnight dot watery diarrhea imagine someone turing faucet nothing water come vomiting violently though someone take knife stab upward sternum whole entire night every hour two force vomit defecate painfully make fatigue unable get simple night rest ...... must lose least gallon body fluid .... doctor next morning immediately give fluid ..... miraculously recover within day pretty damn sure food eat physical distress first yelp review .... write hope manager read make sure food supply healthy condition ....... perhaps stay away sushi advice ....... reason give place two star come year perhaps every couple month good experience review deter ...... well warn ..... hope good health insurance someone drive doctor | 0.11 | 0.11 | 0.78 | 0.19 | positive |

ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 2/27/2016 | T N. | Dunn Loring, VA | 3 star rating | My overall impression of this place was that it was very average. If you don't want a crowd and are looking to eat in a laid back place, you can be seated immediately here. The staff were very polite as well.
The pork bun appetizer was good, although overpriced at $7 for two buns that had one piece of meat and slice of cucumber each.
The spicy ajisen ramen was good, but i wouldn't say the best. What's nice about this place is that it is cheaper (only $10) for a bowl with the basics: pork, noodles, sprouts, various garnish & seasonings, minced meat, egg... No frills like enoki mushrooms or meat on a bone, etc, but the broth is good and not greasy.
The best part of the chicken teriyaki & rice entree was the rice. The chicken looked like it was cuts of dark meat which I prefer but the meat was chewy. It did not seem like it was made fresh from scratch, but more like it was pre-cooked, then sat in marinade and then warmed up again resulting in over cooked, over glazed meat. The rice was cooked just right. And it came with steamed broccoli and carrots that were ok. Would not recommend that dish, as it was same price as ramen.
Mango bubble tea was tasty.

The waitresses were really friendly and we got our orders right away. We ordered gyoza as an appetizer and they were okay. I ordered the Spicy Ajisen Ramen and it was delicious. The pork slices weren't fatty and the broth was super spicy, just how I like it. My mom ordered the seafood ramen and she enjoyed it. The bubble tea was good too.
The best part about this place though is that it's cheaper compared to other ramen places in the city. | ['know', 'place', 'star', 'pretty', 'good', 'experience', 'waitress', 'really', 'friendly', 'get', 'order', 'right', 'away', 'order', 'gyoza', 'appetizer', 'okay', 'order', 'spicy', 'ajisen', 'ramen', 'delicious', 'pork', 'slice', 'fatty', 'broth', 'super', 'spicy', 'like', 'mom', 'order', 'seafood', 'ramen', 'enjoy', 'good', 'best', 'part', 'place', 'though', 'cheap', 'compare', 'ramen', 'place', 'city'] | know place star pretty good experience waitress really friendly get order right away order gyoza appetizer okay order spicy ajisen ramen delicious pork slice fatty broth super spicy like mom order seafood ramen enjoy good best part place though cheap compare ramen place city | 0.28 | 0 | 0.72 | 0.98 | positive |
ajisen-ramen-new-york-2 | 1/26/2016 | Onyekachi A. | Beverly Hills, CA | 4 star rating | Location:
Located on the one way 28th street on the right hand side.
Parking:
I was a tourist...I used Uber for everything so I have no idea! There is a parking lot next to the restaurant that is $15 max parking. Honestly the whole time I stayed in NYC I never saw a parking attendant then again it's cold as hell outside so where would he be??
Ajisen Ramen
A lovely restaurant with amazing Japanese food! First of all I implore everyone to have plum wine if possible. Yes it is one of the painstakingly sweetest alcoholic drinks you will ever put in your mouth but it is AMAZING. Anyways I got a nice glass of plum wine and a dinner special of tempura shrimp & vegetables. It comes with rice, miso soup and salad.
It was absolutely delicious!
The service was phenomenal and the waitresses were all so friendly. They even gave me so pointers about the bars and clubs in the area that I would enjoy!
Would I recommend this place?

Nothing horrible if youre super hungry, the gyoza were descent.

Let me start off by saying I love their Ramen. I always get the Mango Bubble Tea with the jelly. The broth is amazing it's perfect for a cold day. My last experience there was consistent when it came to the food but the service was another story. Usually the waitresses are friendly ,efficient and do their job, however our waitress (as indicated on the receipt when we got the check) Jing wasn't.
Our food came before our drinks and when we needed more water we had to wait for her to look up from her phone while she was sitting in the back. When it came time for us to pay she was again sitting in plain view of the dining area on her phone. Not once did she look up. We were waiting about 10 minutes to pay and if it weren't for another customer who got up, walked over to her, and asked her for something we would have been waiting a lot longer. I was even debating getting up and giving her the money before the gentleman did.
