Suddenly craving for authentic Japanese ramen so decided to come here to try my luck. As it was already past 1.30pm the wait was not too long.

While waiting outside I already decided to have the Akamaru (was attracted by the black seasame oil) so when the waitress took my order as soon as I got a seat. Was asked to choose between think or thin noodles (chose thin), and soft/normal/hard (chose normal). The noodles arrived not long after and it looked and smelled good! Quickly tried the first scoop of soup - rich and tasty as expected . Then experimented with the self serve additional ingredients (added red ginger, garlic and preserved vegetables). It was only afterwards that I found the garlic press - so had to take out the garlic again to grate it . Finally it was time to dive into the noodles, which were soft but still chewy and balanced well with the soup and toppings. The meat was ok - definitely not the main attraction.
The size was just right for a light lunch. I was getting quite thristy after finishing the whole bowl of soup, so the free iced water definitely helped!
