Much better the second time
The first and previous time I visited this place I had the terrible experience of finding a long wire in my ramen soup from possibly a cleaning brush I think or can. The chef was very apologetic and cooked me another one straight away although ever since I've been very reluctant to revisit. But I'm glad I have because today's catchup lunch with friends is a much better experience and everyone was very happy with their meals. It's a highly popular lunch spot so timing and luck is everything in grabbing a table. The Menya Ramen tonkotsu is much more to my liking than the Gumshara version which I found way to heavy in collagen but I know it has it's fans. Service is friendly and efficient and the Menya box deals seem to be pretty good value which I might try next time.
