I experienced concerns regarding hygiene and service during my visit. The spoon provided had a strong bleach odor, as did the clams in the soup, albeit to a lesser degree. Unfortunately, I encountered a stomachache less than half an hour after consuming the meal. Additionally, the wait time was excessively long, and it was noticeable that the server did not call on customers waiting in front of the shop despite several empty tables being available inside. It might be beneficial for the establishment to review both their cleaning practices, to ensure all dishes are thoroughly rinsed, and their seating protocol to improve customer experience.
this is an absolutely fantastic ramen restaurant! it gets a wholehearted recommendation from me, the food is delicious and the service was fast and excellent! probably the best ramen I've had in southern California!
