"Nice Ramen shop to stop by and they actually play J Pop. The food is good, but the service is sub par from grrat in anyway. The atmosphere would be perfect with some smiles at least. My prices are estimates, but it was a total of 50.00 which is fairly good for how much we ate. Serving Huge issue with me, the staff and even cooks needs to learn/train to hold and pull dishes. My server held the plates with his thumb on the center, I had to wipe it clean. Then serving our fries, same server, nearly is touching our fries with his finger becuase how he is holding the plate, absolutely NO! Then I see the cooks grab the Ramen bowls with palm in the inner bowl, it was just not sanitary that way, its basic food training. They need like a SafeServ certificate or something… No high quality restaurant would dare serve food that way.Service Staff need to smile a bit, I don't care how your day is going, but if your going to work, at least put some effort into it, especially if you want tip. It goes a long way, 100% of my tip amount comes from service, if you show me you care, you get tip, if not, you getting less than 10% or nothing. No one chatted or talked, no nice greetings or anything, didn't feel warm.Chicken Broth Ramen with Kara Age Side (15.50) It taste like chicken broth ramen, I liked it a lot as it was good, noodles were good, toppings were just right. The Kara age was good too, but they used more fattier pieces with mine.Akira Ramen (14.50) I partner enjoyed the pork broth ramen, simple and nice ramen, soft and tender. If your a ramen lover, you should be fine here.Salmon Lover Roll (13.50) Very generous portion of salmon, loved it. Lots of salmon and good mixture of fancy ingredients.Fries (6.00) It tasted like french fries, so uts good enough.Everything is good here, just the service needs some work."
