The Taisho or kitchen boss is a colorful character who looks like Charles Bronson, but sings out greetings and ready orders in both Spanish and Japanese, which is one of the entertaining features of the restaurant if youre sitting at the bar.

My favorite ramen place of all time. Though they dont have that many vegetables ramen options, I am glad they at least have one dish I like. The spicy miso udon. I make sure to remind them strictly no meatpork. It is my favorite. Whenever I go there, I always ask for that dish.
