"the Tonkotsu was soo good— the broth was hearty and flavorful (and they sent an insane amount of it), the pork was perfectly cooked, and the noodles were just amazing. definitely a good serving size for the cost. my only complaint is the broth leaked in the bag, but it was easily cleaned up."
"First off, my Moa bowl never made it. The Dasher let me know that the restaurant called him about 2 mins before he got to me that they hadn't given him my complete order. Since the restaurant was 20 mins back in the other direction, I just told him to forget it. That was probably the best call sinus my Spicy Ramen was anything but spicy and the beef had weird texture and taste. The portion was ridiculously small for a $32 bowl of ramen. The taste was awful and just blah. I would recommend this spot nor will I be giving them another try. Hadn't my normal go to been closed, I wouldn't have ended up with this god awful whatever you want to call it? I don't call it ramen. Huge let down!!"
