The
ramen
was
okay,
but
I
expected
better
from
a
Michelin
Guide
restaurant.
My
friends
and
I
came
here
for
lunch
and
were
excited
to
get
something
warm
because
it
was
a
cold
day!
Since
they
don't
take
(call
in
advance)
lunch
reservations,
we
had
to
go
to
Tonchin
to
put
our
name
down,
and
they
wait
45
minutes
to
be
seated.
This
wasn't
too
bad,
though,
as
we
just
shopped
in
the
area
until
our
table
was
ready.
The
place
was
more
spacious
than
we
expected,
so
we
could
comfortably
sit
and
hear
each
other.
I
ordered
the
Tsukune
buns
because
my
friend
said
they
were
really
good,
and
they
definitely
lived
up
to
the
high
price
and
expectations!
Those
were
easily
the
best
buns
I
have
ever
had
because
the
meat
was
so
juicy
and
well-seasoned,
and
the
bun
part
was
so
fluffy
that
it
just
melted
in
my
mouth!
The
buns
were
easily
the
highlight
of
the
day!
It
is
just
unfortunate
that
the
ramen
was
no
way
near
as
good...
I
got
the
dipping
spicy
goma
tsukemen,
and
it
was
just
not
spicy
(and,
in
fact,
more
bland
than
anything).
It
was
not
worth
the
extra
price
to
get
these
as
dipping
ramen
because
the
broth
was
not
concentrated
(which
I
heard
is
pivotal
for
dipping
ramen).
My
friends
got
the
classic
Tokyo
and
Spicy
Tan
Tan,
respectively,
and
also
said
their
dishes
were
just
okay.
My
friend
who
came
here
before
and
recommended
the
spicy
buns
said
she
remembers
the
ramen
being
better,
and
this
time,
it
was
pretty
mediocre.
I
did
try
a
bit
of
hers
(classic
Tokyo),
and
it
was
at
least
more
flavorful
than
mine.
Lastly,
maybe
this
is
how
dipping
ramen
is
supposed
to
be
(this
was
my
first
time
ever
having
it),
but
the
broth
was
lukewarm
when
I
would've
liked
it
hotter....
overall,
I'm
leaving
a
bit
disappointed
and
would
only
come
back
for
the
buns
because
they
were
SO
good.
I
hate
to
give
this
place
3
stars
because
I
feel
like
it's
more
of
a
3.5
because
of
the
buns
but
I
feel
like
the
ramen
just
does
not
compete
with
some
of
the
other
ramen
places
I
have
given
4
stars
too.
Also,
this
ramen
is
pricier
than
some
of
the
better
spots
that
I
have
been
to
when
it
definitely
did
not
deserve
to
be...
