The last time I was here to eat, it re-defined my standards for ramen forever. For starters, ramen from A***** became blacklisted in my mind, because I can pay a little more to eat the best. This place also beats other ramen restaurants with its very Japanese feel interior. This time, the food was just as good. But the staff lacked energy. Don't get me wrong.

This time, the food was just as good. But the staff lacked energy. Don't get me wrong. I was pleased with the service, and the speed of the food coming out from the kitchen. But when I was here the last time, all the staff spoke, and behaved like Japanese. They were probably Japanese. Recent labour crunch probably forced them to hire other nationalities, so the Japanese feel was kinda missing.
Food
I had a small set of their Kurobuta Toroniku (pork cheeks from black pigs) set. It didn't disappoint. The pork cheeks was cooked just right, soft, tender, and very moist inside, with a sweet aroma. The most important part of ramen is the soup for sure. I had Shoyu Ramen to go with it. Just the right level of saltiness, with a good flavour. I guess they used some meat/chicken stock to make the soup, with allows it to go well with the pork cheeks.
One of my friend had Char Siu Kara Miso Ramen. The Char Siu simply melts in your mouth, thanks to the pork belly fats.
Pork Gyoza was shioks to the max. Crispy bottom. Juicy centre. Hot. Fresh. As you can see, I didn't have enough will power to stop and take a photo before we all eat.
We decided to be adventurous and tried sake. I had sake for the first time. Tastes like vodka with some sugar.
