That being said sadly the food prep and quality is inconsistent. If you come on a day where they are ON it’s a 10/10 , on other days far less and sometimes almost cold on arrival. That brings me to the service, there’s no other way to say it but it’s really bad. All the employees gather in the corner farthest from the entrance and sit on their phones and completely ignore anyone coming in until they order. Not only are you serving ramen in the middle of NWA it’s unique in its flavor profiles so you should assume PEOPLE WILL HAVE QUESTIONS. When you get their attention they are kind enough but you can’t seem to get past this look that screams “I just wanna get back to whatever I was doing on my phone!” The option for a tip comes up and your first thought is “In what world would I tip and encourage this behavior”
Solution: End the casual chipotle atmosphere and switch to a regular Dine-In Restaurant atmosphere. The interior Design is incredible and it’s undercut by this middle school cafeteria style of service. Switching to a regular Restaurant atmosphere will solve all Issues. Customers will be more inclined to return as their waiters help guide them in the menu so they don’t try something that’s not for them on their first visit. Servers will be more encouraged to perform as their tips will undoubtedly Increase as they begin to actually “Work”. Then if you cut the kitchen staff in on that increase, you will most likely see an increase in the consistency of quality food the kitchen prepares.
I only write all this because this place has crazy potential, however I have sent multiple people here and they had horrible experiences and mine have been so hit or miss that I completely understand them never coming back. If your coming for the first time I still highly recommend trying them and just cross your fingers and know it’s worth another shot if your not happy the first time
Food wise there is a number of things that just hit so different. The pork chashu is literally melt in your mouth. If you get it in a bao, the pickled onion brings it to another level. The edamame is salt well and hit with good citrus tang. The crispy brussel sprout are awesome, almost addictive. Our mainstay is the Spicy Tori Paitan Ramen. Crispy seasoned chicken, earthy bean sprouts, and a broth that really brings it all together.
