Let me start with the good things: the soup and the wooden tables.

Now to the bad. My egg was nearly hard-boiled, the pricing is relatively terrible to other noodle places in the Waseda area, the noodles were mediocre, the portions were deceptively tiny, and the number of times I've been told by peers how "great" this place was makes me want to face palm just at the thought.

The chashu was sort of like that of Ichran's, same with the noodles (being thin and stuff).

There are better places than this place, and the differences are even greater if you look at their prices. Some suggestions are "Gakkai" for abura soba and "Budouka" for ramen (& all-you-can-eat rice).
