Had the opportunity to visit with my family for dinner last night. Food was below average to average based on the cost of the meal. For the price I would have expected full service. Ordered at the table with a QR code on your phone. Suggested tip is 18% on up. You select your tip before even getting your food. You have to get your own drinks and condiments, nobody is checking how the food is or if anything is needed. Basically the wait staff brings out the food and picks up your dishes. Not at all what i was expecting.

Ordered via toast for takeout. When I went to pick up at the time that I was told by toast, I was told by staff that it would be another 10 to 12 minutes. I gave them the courtesy of waiting 20 minutes. Upon my food still not being ready, I went and ask and was told that they were working on it.

I do not know what happened in the two years since I was here last, but whatever happened it was for the worse.

-Atmosphere: It has become a blend of Mexican, American and Japanese cultures that makes a mess. It's like the restaurant doesn't know what it wants to be. It used to be so cool and unique. Now it is modern and bland.

-Service: What service? There is none. You order through the QR code at the table. No one greets you when you enter or when you sit down. You are left completely alone to figure out where forks and water are (hidden by the kitchen. Free to grab for yourself) and how to order. Even when all the tables are full, the restaurant feels empty of those that work there. Lastly, there is no menu at the table, it is all online. Makes ordering in groups a pain as we all have to be on our phones. Instead of face to face interaction while looking at the menu, we are stuck in our phones.

Food: The karage is still great! But... the ramen has seriously downgraded. The broth didn't have the depth it once had, the noodles are subpar and the amount of mushrooms they add into the tonkotsu broth was slightly overpowering. I feel bad for calling what I had ad tonkotsu. It tasted more shoyu-esque.

Delicious creamy vegan ramen (w egg added) and veggie curry! The perfect comfort lunch spot.

Love their ramen! I had the tonkotsu, it was tasty, and fairly authentic! Good noodle texture and toppings. Great when you're wanting hot soup! They should try doing tsukemen ramen in the summer maybe, I bet it'd be good.

We were quite disappointed when went to have Veggie Ramen @ 8:15 PM. The Ramen tasted good but presentation was not good and ingredients were not available the way we had the same veggie ramen three months back (attaching photos). Today’s ramen missed the greens and other veggies, but taste wise it was good. I don’t think we will be visiting again.

Hope, you guys will be generous next time onwards.

Very abusive to their newly hired employees
The moment the owner of the place got a rush he begin yelling at his employees,the cooks dont even wash their hands after cleaning sweat off their face.
The dont use gloves.
The kitchen is super dirty.
Overall a horrible experience

Parking is not always great but the food is wonderful.

Recently moved here from outside of Boston. I started getting worried about finding a good ramen place. It has been a lot of misses. Wish they had a miso-based broth, but I will live. Now I just have to find a decent Thai place. A lot of misses so far.

My second restaurant in the group of 3 on this corner, and I was impressed yet again! The tonkatsu ramen was the creamiest I’ve ever had. It was a pretty decent serving size. I got the small karage bowl, which was a good deal for a smaller dinner, coming with kimchi and rice. The chicken was really juicy and flavorful with the spicy mayo.

It’s set up in a seat yourself and order from a QR code method, which I don’t mind. The servers didn’t say a word to any customers the entire time, including when dropping off food and drinks, which was a little strange to us. Also, the prices were all a dollar more than the prices listed online. Overall the food was worth coming back.
