Updating since I can’t post another review. Had another great lunch from here! I try to bring as many friends and family members as I can to introduce them to some actual good ramen. Ignore the food snobs that are complaining, they obviously don’t know good food when they have it… aka they prefer corporate restaurants over small businesses. I absolutely love coming here for lunch or dinner when I’ve been at PIR all day. I have yet to find a ramen place with better food than these guys. Can’t wait to see their second location also. I really do miss eating inside though by the windows on a cold rainy day. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. If i could afford it I’d eat here every day

I lived in Japan a long time and I’ll tell you most Japanese restaurants in the states are not an authentic experience, they might be good, but they don’t have that homey neighborhood feel that is the backbone of Japanese cuisine. First off, most American Japanese restaurants are expensive and seem to be striving for some trendy zen concept. Menjiro felt like I was back in the Kobe neighborhood, getting a bowl of Ramen on the way to the train station. Unpretentious, friendly, reasonably priced. That’s pretty straight forward, isn’t it? Honest good food in a welcoming environment. It’s tiny and the prime table has a wonderful view of the boat docks, with plenty of room for outdoor seating. The cook/server was the perfect addition, cheerful and friendly, exactly like so many Ramen shops in Japan. To be honest, I have had better Ramen, but I haven’t had more authentic ramen. It’s not the place for your wedding party or a corporate merger. It’s a place you eat at regularly… with friends, or by yourself. You don’t have to dress up, or put your makeup on, you just have to relax and imagine you’re in a little harbor town in Japan and you’re dropping into your little neighborhood joint. And that, is amazing.

I just ate at this location. I can say everything about it was fantastic. A lot of parking space, convenient location, great view over the bay, and fantastic high-quality food. The waitress was extremely polite and friendly. The service was quick and top quality. Free water was provided and the service was just great.

A great spot for some great food. I came for lunch and ordered the ramen. The food took quite awhile to come out, but I assumed that good work takes time - I was right! My food was delicious and plentiful, which is also great since it was also fairly priced. I definitely plan to eat here again, especially since it's surrounded by a lot of chain restaurants that cost the same for much worse food.
