The good? The fit-out, the service, the fact that they stock Coedo beer (my personal favourite), the gooey egg, along with the delicious 'japas' (Japanese tapas)!
The bad? It was a bit expensive overall, and we were a little underwhelmed by the ramen. To be honest, we don't really see much point in cooking the soy sauce and dashi broth for 48 hours.
Would we go back? Maybe. I'd like to try their other 'japas', and possibly the curry ramen...
