3 /5 Charles N: If my wife and I were on a date, this would be a beautiful place to take her for some decent ramen and great ambiance. Michelin rated ramen spot in Orlando had our interest peaked. It was unusually cold that night, about 40 degrees. There was over an hour queue on a Tuesday night and they dont do reservations, so I told the hostess we would be willing to sit outside if that would get us a table faster. After a 70 minute wait, we were sat outside. We were fine with it since the ramen would be warming.
Waitress greets us to take our drink order. I give her our full order and let her know to bring it all out (wife was cold and tired from a long day). They still spaced everything out as if we wanted a long dining experience sitting outside in the cold. My drink comes out, then 10 minutes later a crab roll, then 10 minutes later the lobster roll, then another 10 for the chicken wings. Finally one bowl of ramen comes out, but my wifes bowl is missing. It takes them a few minutes to come by after dropping off my bowl to ask if we needed anything else. Yes, the other bowl of ramen. They say they will go check on it. It takes over 10 minutes for wifes bowl to arrive. They said they ran out of bowls?
The Tonkotsu broth itself was a bit light (vs creamy/fatty thick) broth we are used to. Flavor was decent. Good amount of pork. Half an egg. Chicken wings were crispy and tangy, good balance of flavor. Nothing special about the crab or lobster roll, but they were good. Fun mixed drinks.
They were apologetic at the end and gave a discount which equalled to about half price on her bowl, which she only ate half because she was over the experience by then.
