Gatsu Gatsu ガツガツ — Restaurant in Launceston

So excited to have ramen after a long drive from Hobart with my partner today. We both ordered ramen dish and it's turned out pretty good.

But the girl that work on the front was not nice at all since we walked through the door. Didn't bother to greet us, then told us that we could have a seat first and she will clean a table for us, she didn't even bother to clean it until we finished our dinner.

After we ordered and paid on the counter, she put the cutlery on our table pretty hard so the all of the chopstick and spoon spill out from the napkin on the table. Didnt even bother to say sorry.

And when we walked out and said thank you, she just replied back with arm crossed, lean against the bench / counter on her back while playing phone with one hand.

I had the Kuroi Ramen, which was nice and garlicky, however I feel like the broth is lacking depth of flavour. The serving of pork was also quite small, especially for the price. But serving size is spot on, one more bit of pork would've satisfied me.

I also had the Pork Gyoza which were good, but no wow factor about the flavour. Nice and fresh, crispy and soft with a little crispy skirt - Best I've found locally.
