Was a regular patron during the late 80's & 90's but then business took me away from the core. Had they been open in the evenings I'm sure I would have kept in touch but, like most places in the CBD, it's tough to keep...busy when the chains have the market locked down. But enough of that. This place is the epitome of consistency. In addict terms, was a regular user or their Chicken teriyaki, Spicy Ramen, Yakisoba and Gyoza. Probably a few other items, too but those are the ones that I had most often. Service is great but check your timing as noon-1 PM will most often have you waiting in line, stomachs grumbling as you see and smell everyone else's food arriving. And if you're thinking take out, I'd advise courtesy by ordering early 11:30 or earlier, or wait until after the rush. BTW, after 2 is generally nice and quiet (they close at 4 & not open on weekends). My meal today was again the spicy ramen and Gyoza. Same great taste, excellent soup broth & noodles. Gyoza, served with a sauce that I thought was chilli oil was again, reminiscent of years ago. It's like walking down the street and smelling an old girlfriends' perfume - takes you back and makes you smile. There is quite a variety in the menu including curries, other rice & noodle dishes, tempura and even sushi. I have my favourites as mentioned above but I'm a creature of habit. Bottom line is that I think you'd have a hard time going wrong here. Found myself a new late(or early) lunch stop. Now about that old girlfriend...
