My thoughts:
Came here with my family. We ordered a rice dish topped with chicken and egg, a ramen, gyoza and takonomiyaki (octopus balls). In a nutshell, things were a tad on the pricey side, everything was quite salty and service was *horrible*! The service was really, really slow (with the exception of bringing our bill and taking our money) and not only were there no smiles, but it really showed that the waitress hated her job.
Anyway, onto the food. The noodles and rice dish were both $9.99 each - pricey in my opinion. But in all fairness, for the noodles only anyway, the serving size was quite generous, but not so much for the rice. The fam was really impressed with the noodles. I thought it was mediocre. I do have to give points for all the toppings that came with the noodle, though. It was chockful of seafood and veggies. I personally prefer my noodles plainer, with more noodles and less toppings.
The gyoza was really crispy, not very greasy and just plain delicious. I really enjoyed this. Price was $6.99 for 6. I recommend this.
Takonomiyaki was pretty good. If I had not tried Guu's version, I think I would have been very satisfied with this. But that not being the case, I was somewhat disappointed. This wasn't as fluffy as Guu's. Price was $8.99 for 6. Again, pricey considering the serving size.
In total, with tax and tip, the bill came to almost $45 for 4 people, which, in my opinion, is expensive for a simple noodle joint with a very limited menu. Would I come again? Perhaps, if I'm in the area, or if I have a really bad takonomiyaki craving (since I have yet to find a place uptown with takonomiyakis as good as Guu's). But otherwise, wouldn't make the drive out to this place.
