I can’t say enough about this place. Originally, it was initially suggested we go by a colleague at work. We headed down on a weekend, and did have trouble finding parking. After several rounds through the street, we decided to park in the free parking garage one block away. The parking was not full and easy to park in, and at no additional charge.
We walked into the front door and I realized quickly why the place was such a big hit. They had individuals standing and willing to wait for a table as we watch the food and beer be delivered to tables. We got a good idea of what we were gonna order when we sat down. We did get a table within minutes of walking through the door when a large group was getting up to head out. It was around 2pm or so.
We were greeted by our waitress and taking a look at the special bruise on the wall. I went with a tactical melancholy, and my husband went with the coconut. Both were amazing, the tactical melancholy tasted like a watermelon starburst. Not like a beer at all.
We ordered the bow buns to start, they were absolutely phenomenal with the pork belly. There were three of them, and I probably could’ve eaten 50 to be honest. We ordered our food and it came out within 15 minutes.
My husband ordered the Ramen with broth and I ended up with the Ramen minus the broth. The portion sizes are perfect! I lived in Japan for several years and it was just as good as anything that I had ever gotten served at a noodle bar there. It easily could go for twice the amount of money they are asking for it.
The service was amazing, we had a very friendly waitress. The place is clean, I did not use the restroom so I cannot speak to the condition of that. It’s not too loud, it’s not really bright and the music is not intrusive. It is an absolutely amazing place to go, we saw families, other couples and even a few people hanging out at the bar just for a quick brew.
In my overall review, five stars is not enough. It was absolutely amazing, we had a great time. Filled our bellies and paid a reasonable price. I highly recommend going and trying this place. We are headed back down there again today, because they are closed Sunday and Monday, but we’re excited to have our second meal and try something new.

Street parking was not available, and just free only certain times of the day. We ended up parking a block away in a free parking garage, it was not full and it was easy to get in and out of the parking spaces.
