Delicious but for some reason not as good as the Shibuya Maruyamacho location. I ordered the Oreryu Lunch special. The server seemed extremely annoyed when I asked for my soup to be spicy. Seems like I ruined her attempt at omotenashi since I didn't wait for her to ask me the questions in her script (chicken or pork broth? Gyoza or karaage? Firmness of noodles? Rice or extra topping?). She also seemed to have assumed I couldn't converse in Japanese as she went ahead and asked in broken English if I wanted chicken or pork (while her body language screamed of 'I'm extremely annoyed by the presence of this non-Japanese customer').

Even chili oil on counter was bland. Weird condiments on counter also, think one was garlic but it was green.
Don't trust reviews, hey go to Hakata Tenjin just before this shop instead.
Should have known better as it was empty on a Monday at 9 pm.
