Overall review: stylish place, good cleanliness, excellent menu and portion quality control, fair systemized queueing procedure, fast and friendly service, the Ramens are to die for🔥💯🤌👌 (extremely delicious!!!)

Additional notes: they have frozen Ramens available for takeaway, by ordering (minimum) 2 days prior through the cashier. the queueing system is first come first serve. when the restaurant is busy, customer's whatsapp and/or calls might not be...

Visit this one because of my friend's recommendation, as she said that they serve a good pork ramen.

First, the place is originally a house and they make the ground floor into a tiny cafe with capacity of 8 tables. There's no fancy decor whatsoever, seems pretty messy for me. Don't expect this as one of those aesthetically pleasing cafe. Because of its tiny size, the room feels too crowded and loud.

Second, the staff is not well coordinated. They send the stuff to the wrong table. More than once, that can be fatal. They are understaff too, I wait for a quite bit to have my stuff delievered into my table. Thank God the staff is polite and patient.

Third, for the famous ramen I think its not my style. Please note that I refer to Ikkdo and Ippdo for a good ramen here. the tonkotsu soup is so creammy and mildly tasted. too much for me unfortunately the noodle is too hard, i found they are so much worse than Ikkdo and Ippdo soft noodle the egg is too soft and fragile, they do not even resemble an original ramen style egg. lastly, the pork charsiu is too sweet for my liking. They have a quite much oily part (near the skin) and have charred skin which sometimes tasted bitter. summary : I found the ramen is having too much flavour for my liking. I can't finish one bowl.

Fourth, price wise one bowl of tonkotsu is 58k++ , ice tea 9k++, lemon...

I experienced bad customer service the last time I went here. Since it was sunday and dinner hour, the place is packed. It seems like the staff here were a bit inexperienced handling the packed situation so the whole situation was disorganized. I had asked to move the seat FOUR times by the staffs and it made me lose my appetite instantly due to the inconsistency from them. It was very disappointing since the last two visits here were rather pleasant. They didn't even offer compensation to me, which made my displeasure didn't go away. It was a shame because I was about to be their regular customer because I genuinely enjoyed their Ramen menu, but after the last experience here I don't know if I'm going to come to this place again. I hope they can improve their customer service as soon as possible to avoid this kind of situation happen again...
