- beef ramenThe food was bland, tasteless, and honestly pretty gross. We took one bite of the beef ramen, were immediately turned off, and asked to have it taken off the bill. They refused and said they could only replace it… but why would we want more food that tastes just as bad?

Frustrating Google Reservation Issue
My experience at this restaurant was marred by a significant issue with their reservation system. While they accept reservations on Google, upon arrival, we were not acknowledged at the counter. After a 15-minute wait, we were informed that Google reservations are not actually honored, with no prior notice.
This meant we hadn't joined the actual waitlist and had completely wasted our time. It's very frustrating, and customers should be clearly informed that Google reservations are not accepted. The food itself was decent.
