    Bad bad bad, their glass shattered and cut my hand, no apology from staff for shoddy product and nothing offered for my cut hand with shards of glass in it!! Disgusting service. Will never return!!

    Ginger tea formula seems to have changed. Maybe they started using powder. Please don't decrease the quality!

    Great noodle but the worst service ever. The staff are rude need a day at Pret training in customer service. Went to Masala Zone instead where we were greeted warmly.

    I don't get what all the fuss is about. Stupidly long waiting time and seems overpriced. Guess I'm not an appreciator of authentic udon. Give me ramen any day!
