She gave it a poor review, though. She told us it was super busy and not worth it because you just get overpriced ramen noodles. LOL. <\/p>\n<p>I just happen to love ramen noodles and I prefer to form my own own opinion about a place so, naturally, I talked Brian into to checking it out with me. Although, I was a little bit worried at first. Brian isn&#8217;t really a ramen guy. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope they have other stuff on the menu besides ramen,&#8221; I thought to myself as we walked to the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/27025691942\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/c7.staticflickr.com\/8\/7257\/27025691942_9b069b0efe_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The place is really tiny, as you&#8217;ll see from the photos that follow. That&#8217;s the main reason why they&#8217;re always busy and there&#8217;s lines out the door. There isn&#8217;t enough room inside for everyone. When we walked up, we noticed people standing outside, in front of the restaurant. We wondered what that was about and quickly realized that it&#8217;s the line to be seated. It&#8217;s so small inside that there&#8217;s not enough room for people to wait. <\/p>\n<p>You have to stand outside while you wait for a table. When a table becomes available, they come out and tell you that you may come inside. It&#8217;s definitely an interesting setup. Lucky for us, there wasn&#8217;t much of a line when we went.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/27052290961\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/8\/7517\/27052290961_1837707e2a.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Here are a couple of pictures of the restaurant&#8217;s compact interior.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/27087074866\/in\/dateposted-public\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"   title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/c3.staticflickr.com\/8\/7635\/27087074866_0c9095697a_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" class=\"pic\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a picture of the menu.

Then again, I am a ramen lover. I could eat ramen everyday of my life and not complain. <\/p>\n<p>Brian thought the restaurant was just okay. I will definitely be back though.
