What people say
"We went here one night but the line was too long so we came again. There’s a sign up sheet that we can join the line and walk around. Because of how long the line was and the online reviews, we had high expectations of this place. After a long wait we finally got in and we got seated near a corner area. The area was very small which was not a problem. The issue was there were a bunch of flies flying on the wall right next to us and we were extremely uncomfortable eating there. We asked to switch places but then they were like there’s no other seats. We had to keep asking different waiters until we could change our seat. We had their classic, their specialty and the creamy and light base. Honestly we expected more. There’s no problem with the food itself and it taste like average ramen with the regular soup bases we can get anywhere else. They taste good. But it was not worth the wait and it’s overhyped."
