text: The concept of Ramen is very simple and quite delightful. You get \"there\", order your Ramen, and eat your Ramen. In Japan, the concept is cool because usually you order and pay through a machine (like an ATM) and everything is done rapidly and orderly. \n\nThus, my surprise at the complete lack of service of Ramen-Ya. Ordering a Ramen soup took nearly 20 minutes. \n\nThe Noodle is the key to a good Ramen soup, Broth being the second ingredient. I would've expected something quite good coming out of Ramen-Ya but unfortunately the noodles were plain and tasteless. Poor texture, no spring to them and difficult to noisily suck \"in\". \n\nThe Broth was good however, a mix of miso and chicken fond. Enough taste to finish and not too salty to require additional water. \n\nThe fillings (porc slabs and vegies) were poor in taste and quantity, making the overall Ramen experience a  big mEh. At least the egg wasn't overcooked. \n\nTook the better part of an hour to eat a simple Ramen. After which, being still hungry, we asked for the menu, but were unable to re-order ( we got forgotten i suppose...). So we forgot to tip in return. \n\nSad to see this place so busy with the hispter vibe of the plateau, but fail at the simpliest of task. They seemed very busy with their takeout orders tho...
