Occasion: Lunch date on a hump day! I'm so happy I work close to restaurant with ramen, but so sad that I don't get to go to it often.

Potatoe Croquet
I thought it was pretty good. Nice a crispy skin with creamy insides. I don't think I could eat the whole dish myself because it is on the richer side, but sharing with people would be perfect.

Ja Ja Men

Cold Ramen Noodles with either pork or beef, veggies and half of a boiled egg. It's good to have this on a hot day.

Ankake Ramen

I love how they put kind of a lot of things in the ramen, but the noodles just do not compare to the ones at Katana-ya. It was still good though, but not as crispy fresh as I was expecting it to be. Compared to Katana-ya they do put a lot more ingredients into their ramens. I was actually quite dissappointed by this experience because I found chunks of fat in my soup. You know when fat cools down, it get's kind of jelly. Yes, I guess my soup base wasn't heated all the way and I found those chunks in my bowl. That itself totally ruined my experience, lowering the notch of the food quality here. Sorry, unless I get a better experience next time.
