    Need to take it off open table. The restaurant is closed. We showed up and it was empty and closed for good. Ruined our evening because it was impossible to get a reservation elsewhere.

    I was a bit disappointed because I booked a table for the main room. This made me wait until 8:30p. However, we were sat in a back corner of the restaurant away from the main room. If we wanted the back room, we would've taken a far earlier reservation instead of waiting all day. My ramen was pretty good, but the rest of the experience makes me hesitant to return. Finally, the wait staff made us feel like a burden as well. All our interactions were pretty awkward.
