Lire plus Pretty good, pretty good but I think Donburi Dojo in Maryland has spoiled me for ramen forever (the best bowl on the planet). Nevertheless, it was decent. Ambience: small indoor seating with a cute patio that filled up quickly. A lot of communal seatingand it was loud in there. I really liked the music they were playing but it was hard to have a conversation in the middle of theday. Food: we all ordered Tonkotsu ramen with ono chili sauce added on. I feel like the prices were a high, especially for onochili sauce added for $2. Would?ve thought it?d be like 50 cents or maybe $1 but $2? Yikes. This drove our bowls to about$16/$17 a piece which I guess is average? The ramen was pretty good but, as others have mentioned, I didn?t find the broth tobe too rich or flavorful. Even with the ono chili, we had to add A LOT of chili oil and dry seasoning to flavor it up/add it toa spice level we liked. Once it got there, it was good but I think I prefer the taste of the red ramen from Jinya. We alsoordered a beets and green salad app that was good but nothing out of this world. Service: our waiter was friendly but took awhile to check on us. I would?ve asked the people who dropped off our ramen for the chili oil and dry spices but they leftbefore I could ask and didn?t ask if we needed anything so we eventually took those from a newly empty table. Pretty decent foran American ramen place. My friend told me it was average and compared it to ramen that he had in Japan but that?s not fair -it?s Charlotte; not Japan haha. Go in there with a realistic expectation and you?re likely to enjoy it here.
