That was really great 👍. I eat a lot of ramen at home in Germany 🍜, and this restaurant is definitely one of my favorites ☺. The gentleman behind the counter was super nice, and a real one man show (waiter & cook 👨🍳). After 3 weeks of American food I feel really good after a position there 😌 and revived ❤
Went on a Tuesday night. No one else in the restaurant, one person cooking and serving and hosting. Fantastic experience. Food was 10/10, our server was attentive without being overbearing, and we had our meals within 15 minutes of being there.
