I ordered the spicy ramen for lunch (14.70$). The ramen was filled with noodles (which i am not sure is ideal). It had cold eggs cut up and the pork pieces were also relatively cold. The soup was hot but was not flavorful. If I am counting the ingredients - broth, noodles, bean sprouts, mushrooms (negligible), pork, egg. You can find a better ramen shop which does a good broth, and has a few more ingredients. The prices in the menu have changed and if you go by online prices, that isnt great. The only positive thing for this place was that they had this dining space at the back. I am not coming back for ramen here.

Taste: 2/5, gyudon insanely salty, katsu curry didnt have much substance was mainly rice with 2 slices of potato, the crumbs for the katsu chicken was a bit too hard (hurt teeth to bite), curry sauce dissapeared early on So i was just eating plain rice, its very Chinese taste which is not ideal since I can just have that at home instead of Japanese restaurant Flexibility: 0/5, staff was not that polite about it either, asked if its possible to change the katsu chicken to teriyaki chicken in curry sauce, straight no, sounded as if they were angry at me, I dont know if its asking Too much now days to have some manners but ruined the mood a little bit Speed: 0/5, took 45 minutes, they kept promising 5 minutes more to the girl waiting for her take away who ordered at the same time as us but she ended up waiting for probably 60 ish minutes, she was still waiting when we finished eating Staff: 1/5, did not even talk to us when we walked in, just stared at us blankly and waited for us to walk over, then kept staring and talking amungst themselves until one of them started clearing a table for us, still in the end no words were spoken to us, they just handled us a menu, So we sat ourselves down based on the assumption that the table they cleared was for us Overall i wouldnt recommend this, honestly would recommend the chinese or Taiwan (?) cafe (Restore Cafe) 2 buildings down (1-2min walk) with pretty much the exact same menu, but much friendlier and they Do it much better. This is only if you just HAD to eat at Caulfield station area, honestly all the restaurants in this area are very, VERY bad/mid-low tier, even the Lanzhou, they use instant noodles last time I went, either that or the noodles were left So long it dried up into the wavy shape and So when we were served it looked and tasted like slightly thicker 2 minute noodles
