I visited on Monday after the snowstorm and the walk through the dirty flush was worth it! I came with a friend and though we were a little confused at first on the dining experience, we both left very happy.
We split the crispy fried brussel sprouts and out of curiosity, the shrimp and crab corndog. Brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious, corndog we both had mixed feelings on at first but after having it as leftovers it was surprising how much I ended up liking it. Perhaps it had something to do with the oil cooling down?
My friend ordered their chicken ramen, I opted for building my own as a picky pescatarian--the wait time wasn't too long and it was pleasant on cold day.
We both thought the quality of the ramen is one of the best we've had, springy chewy noodles, delicious broth, great flavorful toppings (I'd recommend the shiitake mushrooms, they're worth the extra dollar for the sweetness they bring.)
Their dragonfruit lemonade was refreshing, though if you're a sugar fiend like me, you'll find it's nothing tooth rotting but nothing too tart or sour.
Casual environment (pay before you eat,) fun painted walls, super kind staff.

Read moreHad the spicy tonkotsu ramen with the black sauce + gyoza.
Ramen: Noodle overcooked, sesame oil overwhelming, egg tasted so off almost like korean rice wine.
Gyoza: you can teach a 5 year old how to deep fry frozen gyoza, so no comment here.
Cleanliness: sticky table, dirty spoons, disgusting looking tray.
Vibe: multiple alarms and timers constantly going off. Narrow aisle.
Worst dinning experience I've had in a long time. My $1 Korean instant noodles taste better. The name Lifting Noodles is fitting. I was lifted out of my seat right after...
