I came with my partner for noodles on a cold Saturday for lunch while visiting Baltimore. We were not disappointed! Although the area looks a bit sketchy, the inside of the restaurant is trendy with a slight retro feel. We were seated immediately and told that since it was happy hour the prices were a bit cheaper. While taking our order the server asked for dietary restrictions and allergies, a good sign at any restaurant that they care about your food. I got the mushroom shio vegan ramen and my partner got the truffle chicken shoyu ramen. Despite the description saying the mushroom shio had tofu, there didn’t appear to be any. Despite that, the dish was filling enough with its shiitake mushrooms, various types of seaweed, and surprisingly hearty broth. I was a little apprehensive at kale as a topping but it took up the broth well and was delicious. 10/10. If I had to give a criticism it would be that the broth didn’t come out piping hot; usually I enjoy the first few sips of searing hot liquid and I couldn’t get that here. My partner said he enjoyed his chicken shoyu ramen but would’ve liked it a bit saltier. With tip we ended up paying around $24/person, a little more than I’d like to pay for lunch, but these days restaurant prices tend to be high. I would recommend this place if you’re in the area!
