    I had the shoyu ramen for lunch (without spinach, seaweed and shoots). The broth was light but tasty, the noodles chewy and slightly el dente. The pork was torched on surface for extra texture, cooked well and not dry. Two slices were just right to be filling. I had the lychee sorbet for dessert and it was such an amazing palate cleanser with a refreshingly sweet taste and almost gelato level creamy texture. Enjoyed my entire meal. Will visit again.

    Came here on Thursday for lunch. First time here. Got the Butaton Ramen and lunch special. The rice, beef, and salad were nice for the price and tasted good. When the ramen came I was surprised by how big the chashu was and how big the bowl was. Both are bigger than this other Ramen place I go to. I loved the chashu. Very tasty. Well done but still tender. Just the way I like it The noodles are softer than I would have expected but not complaining. I actually enjoyed the noodle texture very much. I've had chewier noodles before, but I liked the softer texture very much too. The broth was very hot. And mid spicy. While I enjoy the broth. In my opinion, the flavor and richness of the broth was not as great as this other ramen place I've been to. It did not ruin the meal but was a downer. Maybe I'll try another flavor next time. The service was top tier. My waiter was excellent and attentive when I was ready to order food and drink without disturbing me while I ate. Was not expecting such good service. The waiter exceeded my expectations. I kicked myself because I forgot his name. I like how roomy the dining area is for both single diners and groups. I felt comfortable in my seat. Overall good experience with food, service, and seating. A bit expensive. But I will be back.

    We ordered seven bowls of noodles, two appetizers, and a poke bowl. One of our kids' ramen had a hair in it. We informed the waiter, who replaced it without offering a sincere apology. Additionally, an 18% service charge was applied directly.
