If you’re tired of scrolling through enormous menus full of sides, mains, and varying heat levels and whatnot, this place might be for you. This anime-themed hole-in-the-wall serves vegetarian-friendly gyozas, boiled soybeans, and ramen— and that’s about it. As one of the first ramen spots in the area, it has already gained a relatively dedicated noodle-hungry clientele as evidenced by its consistent turnover. Everything about this place is straightforward: simple decor, simple menu, and simple flavors, so sticking around and taking up space isn’t really an option.
The service is friendly, the beers are cold, and the limited cocktails offered are decent. As a solution for dinner on a chilly evening, it’s a good bet, but don’t expect your mind to be blown. You’ll leave satisfied enough and you might return if the craving strikes and you’re not keen to travel to other parts of town where the ramen selection and quality are a bit better.
