Me & the wifey wanted to randomly select a ramen spot we had both not checked out to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. A pretty good choice for the tastes were on point and quite delicious for our Ramen cravings.
Wifey got their Signature Tonkatsu Ramen with wood ear mushroom, corn and a side of garlic butter for the both of us to share. I got the same thing without the fungus among us and corn. However I got it spicy and boy let me tell you it was quite spicy, Got me perspiring and gasping. Don't get me wrong it was well worth it for the flavor taste buds kicked in overdrive and lead me into pure Ramen ? joy. I had to eat the Ramen at a slow pace which gave me time to enjoy every slurp and chew.
If you love spicy like I do, go ahead and get it spicy. If this level of spicy was hot, I don't wanna know what the 'Super spicy' level is all about.
Oh yeah we did get an order of their 'Lolipop' chicken which was really crispy and delightful. Not quite the Karaage as it may seem. Traditional Karaage has more ginger kick than this one, however it's still a great appetizer which comes with a nice spicy plum sauce for dipping and a small mini spring salad.
Service was decent, the restaurant was clean and organized. I'm not quite sure if I'd come back to this one, however it was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed being out with my wife.

Gu Ramen is a hole in the wall and really knows how to make the ramen shine. The ramen is so good it’s worth the wait and the non attentive staff. Not sure why this is, it’s not family owned, and we only ever saw 2 people doing everything.

I go to this Ramen spot for the poke bowl. Had the poke rice bowl this time around, but they also have it available with salad. The teriyaki and mayo sauce can be heavy, so if this isn't your jam, have it with the salad.
Honorable mentions are the lollipop chicken and calamari. The lollipop chicken are cute, fun, and delicious deep fried little drumettes. Calamari can also be heavy and leave your mouth with a greasy feel, but the batter is light and crispy.
Parking here is def a b*tch. I walk here from work, but if driving, park at the City Place parking structure and walk over. Complementary parking for at least two hours. No validation needed.

Unlike what I perceive to be more traditional ramen places either better quality food. This spot left me wanting more and very disappointed. After being told it wasn’t good I wanted to give it a try cause I really wanted Ramen. How bad could it be? No condiments, No Flavored marinated Egg, and lack luster Chashu Pork. Their service seemed rushed. The Extras were at an expensive premium. And didn’t even taste good. Just don’t recommend this spot. Go to Donburi instead, it’s around the corner.
The food was excellent.
Service was great.
