    Always bring your own spoons. The only complaints on yelp are that you get no spoons. Just bring your own and enjoy.

    Cool lookin' spot however some of the staff was not friendly. They have weird house rules you have to order before you even come inside the bar.

    I walked out of the bathroom and the bartender picked up a floor fan to mess with a co-worker and it blew several chili flakes out of a bowl and right into my eye. Excruciating pain. No apologies. Wtf

    You don't need no spoons people! Savor the soup directly from the bowl.

    Honestly their ramen is average. Their broth isn't as flavorful as ramen should be especially for the price
