Not recommended for a first ramen experience. We ordered the "classique" and the dumplings. By the strictest definition, I am not even sure that this should even be called "ramen". But it is a savoury broth with stuff in it, so maybe it's just "soup". The noodles were rubbery ... or spongey ... like undercooked or boiled dough, and based on that alone I would not have this again. But the broth was really good -- savoury, but with an elusive sweetness to it. The other components were good, fresh, and tastey -- but not strictly "classique" or traditional. Spinach and corn? The egg was rich and tasty and of a very good consistency. The pork was shaved very thinly, but also very tasty. The dumplings, on the other hand, were very, very good although the dipping sauce was not. The sauce had a bitter taste, but not good bitter ... bad bitter. So, if someone is looking for a ramen experience ... this is definitely one. It's okay, but not great. The dumplings were excellent. If you are looking for a first ramen experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere just so that this does not turn you off of ever trying ramen again.
