Raj SarmaAugust 7, 2014This is a minimalist but good ramen experience. There aren't a plethora of choices, instead you're greeted with some basic types of broth which are complemented with minor variations in toppings.

cupkeykNovember 22, 2014Ramen tastes good. Lunch special is good. You get a bowl of ramen of your choice, salad and a choice of appetizer (edamame, gyoza or karaage chicken).

Linh LamSeptember 20, 2013It's not your college ramen noodles. This place is legit. The sign is in Japanese so it's hard to find so just look for the Milkboy bar and it's right next to it.

Pete WongDecember 15, 2013As if the name itself isn't intimidating enough, proceed to the Gates of Hell with caution. Not for the faint of heart (but perfect for cold days and chili powder lovers)!!Upvote2Downvote
Chris ChouJanuary 24, 2014Tako-yaki is delicate while El Portifilio is in your face with lemon and heat. Great service - server docked our bill to make up for a reservation mishap. Playlist is perfection.UpvoteDownvote
