We went there on a Monday night as we wanted to try some "upscale" ramen. Firstly, let's get the one big negative out of the way - the ramen here is the most expensive ramen I have ever eaten. $100+ just for the ramen and then add extra for cha siu, egg and seaweed. The bill came out to $350 for two, no drinks other than tea, no salad, no desert. If you think of ramen as comfort food, then this is very expensive comfort food. In comparison ramen at chains like Akisen at like $50-$60 range.
OK, what do you get for the price? A really clean kitchen as everything can be seen from the bar seats. An exceedingly keen eye for detail - the chef wipes off spots of soup in the bowl for the perfect presentation. Very tasty soup - I got the miso which was tastier vs my partner's plum which was clearer and less oily. Two pieces of cha siu which is tenderly sliced from the roast. High quality eating utensils (even the disposable chopsticks are high quality - a Japanese host would never serve a guest with chopsticks that have to be desplintered. Great attentive service. Extremely pleasant seating environment.
Basically what you are getting is the fine dining experience for comfort food, something that is not common in HK. Only the indiviual can comment if this is value for them. But for me, it was nice to get a different ramen experience than the norm that is there.
