About the restaurant:
Located in the heart of downtown East Lansing and across from Michigan State University campus. This newly opened ramen joint is becoming the hottest joint in town.
I recently had the privilege of dining at this new ramen restaurant with a few of my friends. All of us are fans of Japanese ramen and we've been to Japan, Chicago, and New York City eating ramen so expectation was high.
Atmosphere and Service:
Space was small and cozy. The decor was appealing to the eyes and feels homey. I felt "at home". The service was great - we were served quickly and the guys on the other side of the bar were fun to watch! I love that the kitchen area is open for the customers to see behind the scene of how their food is being prepare.
Review:
Compared to several places I've had in Chicago and New York, each broths was great in flavor The presentations of the bowls were beautiful. I love to eat with my eyes first, so I appreciate the effort in that. The noodles was cooked well. Pork was delicious, I'd would come back just to eat a bowl of the pork only. Overall, I recommend eating at the restaurant for some good ramen. I can tell the chefs did their research and try to make it authentic as possible. Of course, there are room for improvement, but I believe they will continue to improve on their skills.
