Food was delicious but the wait times were long. To be fair though the fringe was on and the restaurant was near full.

I had the TNT ramen which was good, but my friends had miso which was bland. The food all came at different times about 5 minutes apart. There weren't enough members of staff and the menu was too big for them to be able to deliver on everything. Tables were left uncleared as they struggled to keep up in the kitchen.
