Worst I've ever been

by FoodFinder

The ramen was not impressed at all, and service was really poor. I strongly recoomend to you guys " Don't Go"

I put small tip on the table, and then clerk chased to me and said " I need more tips, normally 15%" What a beautiful situation, Bitch!! I can't understand why this such a nasty place got high ratings,

  • Cons: ask for too much tips, even though poor service,

good/tasty and cheap eats!!

by guest100

this place is great...and cheap yet tasty. we were coming back from times square and all the restaurants were filled up with tourists. we were hungry and when we were walking back to the hotel we took a peek and there were lots of asians inside enjoying their food. at first i thought it was a sushi place but it wasnt. the menu is full of noodles in soup and ramen and lots of curries... yummmm!! i had the one with pork chop curry and it was delicious and cheap my mother had the cold noodles she liked them and thought it was mighty tasty. and this place was full of locals and regulars and was cheap.

  • Pros: tasty/ cheap/full of locals and regulars. right off of times square
  • Cons: more variety and have some sushi and cash only establishment

Staff likes to embarrass patrons

by djcamara

I felt so bad for a fellow patron at this place that I doubt I'll return any time soon. A young man (twenty something) at the table next to mine paid the check and left a tip amount that evidently did not satisfy the waitress as she felt it necessary to declare in front of all of the patrons in the very small restaurant that it was inadequate. The man was bullied into forking over several dollars more. I know waiting tables is hard work but there's a right way and a wrong way. And I can't think of a worse way than what I witnessed at this classy joint.

  • Cons: attitude
