Richard Garcia: The Tori Paitan ramen served here is one of the best ramen I've ever had. So good. It's definitely worth the wait. Get the double chashu pork!

Renganathan Ramamoorthy: My wife thought the spicy miso ramen was amazing. Being vegetarian, the vegetarian version was meh.
TK-421: Love the garlic noodles and miso ramen. Tried the homemade tofu, it's good with the wasabi salt, but too soft for me. Green curry is also great. No tips about droids though.
