We were disappointed by our first lunch experience at Ichitora today. I am not here to complain about the long waiting period (>30+ min) outside with no bench or chairs provided, or the extremely crowded dining space where 7 adults would be confined to 2 small and shaky tables which are usually intended for 4 - of course NO CONTAINERS whatsoever are under the chairs, and an iphone would be all too colossal if you put it beside your ramen bowl. However, compared with the poor service, the a
When we finally got seated, the waitress instantly SNATCHED our order list away without a word checking whether we need anything beyond the ramen checklist (in fact the table was very wet yet UNATTENDED, with fluid trickling along the table feet), while in most of the japenese ramon shops we have dined, courtesy is an irreducible part of the entire dining experience. By contrast, basic SANITARY condition here compose a problem. I wonder if this ramen shop is seriously operated following the authentic japanese tradition.
Our ramen were then served along with that for the other two local female customers sitting at the same table. To our surprise, stark contrast emerges: the waitress coldly put our ramen bowls down on the table without a word, while going on giving detailed Cantonese introduction over the ramen to the two local females (e.g. no. of previous visits, the ramen flavor, first taste of the soup, etc.) - astonishingly, it's all on the SAME TABLE - the discrimination and the unprofessionalism, and it's blatantly taking place in the heart of the city's central business district.
The same waitress unmistakably got our change wrong in the check-out step. Of course, we should not be the ones caring about the dropout's high school algebra. Writing this all down, though, is to share the experience so that readers, especially NON-LOCALS, could avoid getting trapped into such unpleasantness in the future.

poor service, thinly disguised regional discrimination, complete lack of professionality
