Such a Big Disappointmen I'm MAD!
by Sheauen at Citysearch
It was not AS SEEN ON TV. Super crowded at 9pm on a Saturday night, even though it was an hour before closing there were still crowds of people waiting to get in. So what is the hype all about? Service was slow (this was as expected), they forgot our fried rice order and then wouldn't let us cancel it when it didn't come out before the noodles. CAN I HAVE SOME NOODLES WITH MY VEGGIES...big freaking bowl of soup...A LOT of bean sprouts and bamboo shoots, a small handful of noodles, and a few slivers of char siu/pork. NOT worth the wait, NOT worth the crowd, NOT worth the $$$. I'm sticking with Hakata Ramen.
- Pros: featured on man v food on the travel channel
- Cons: bad parking, long wait, crowded, mediocre food
