Five minutes earlier, those shrimp were hopping around in the chef's bowl and splashing us in the process. :hehe:

Good review.

Yeah I guess you have to go with a "regular" as you illustrated. I, too, prefer the Shinsengumi in Gardena...as I share your sentiment...the yakitori there is something I prefer over Kokekokko and Shinsengumi, Mo' Park.

The white plate/black plate thing at Kokekokko is whatevers...I don't think it's cool, but the food is good.

It's fine if they want to give the "regulars" special dishes or whatnot. It's more incentive to come back and become a regular. but when you have to ask for a glass of water four times in the span of an hour, it's inexcusable.

AGREED. That is just ridiculous. Inexcusable is the perfect word. :shakehead:

I remember one time I ordered something for take out and went to go pick it up. Despite setting aside the time necessary for them to finish my order so that I could pick it up right away and leave. I ended having to wait up another 30 or 40 minutes after I showed up.

Bad service is bad service. Period. :shakehead:

Wow, you're really going to town with this place. :victory:

Yes, I must confess. It's reasonably priced and the quality of the food is exceptional. Moreover, the food is pretty healthy because the broth for most of their ramen is a lighter chicken broth as opposed to a rich, milky tonkotsu broth.

To boot, the wait staff is very warm and attentive.

I must admit that it's probably my favorite ramen joint. I sincerely hope that you go eat there soon, 'racer. I think you will enjoy it. It's open seven days a week :)

EDIT: I am a Ramen Retard.

There are a good handful of delicious ramen shops out there, but this place appeals to me for its consistency and excellence in execution as well the variety of flavors it offers. If I lived closer I would probably end up washing dishes there several times a week in exchange for ramen. :hehe:

I await the day I hear your review :bow:

Maybe you should mention that the next time you're there. :mrgreen:

Maybe I should write it in hiragana? I bet my Japanese language skills would improve...

You should... It'd be a creative twist. :victory: :rofl:

How hilarious would that be...a non-Japanese person showing up at their door with a cardboard sign written in hiragana.... :hehe:
