    Food was delicious including the starters and the pork ramen, however my vegetarian ramen was cold and that did disappoint me a lot as i’m paying a lot of money for a cold ramen.

    We were seated the minute we came and service was amazing, we were tucked away at our table but weren't forgotten about. Our order came extremely fast, 2 bowls and 2 smalls and it was hot and taste. Will be back!

    The food was great, but the waitress seated us at a sharing table while on a date, while people who arrived after us, recieved a two-seater table upon arrival which was frustrating. When we asked for a new table, they looked at us in confusion as to why we're unhappy with sharing a table with others. We had no choice in the matter so why were we not offered a two-seater like other couples.
