I can't say if it's always like this. When I went, there was an old lady running the place by herself. Two old men who seemed like regulars were sitting at the counter. There were four of us - me, my parents, and my daughter. We ordered four dishes: salty, soy sauce, spicy, and children's portions x2. My spicy ramen tasted like they just added spicy seasoning to boiled noodle water. The noodles were overcooked and clumped together in parts, maybe because the lady was chatting with the regulars. My dad had the salty ramen, which just tasted like boiled noodles. My mom and daughter had the children's portions, which seemed like they forgot to add soy sauce. None of us could finish even half of our bowls. Hmm, it was a bit too much for us. Although the sign outside said "Yakiniku" (grilled meat), the menu had been crossed out.
