Ordered: 
- ramen special (seafood and yuzu broth): $15
- yuzu margherita: $22
- yuzu umeshu: $18

I came here with a friend on a night out bar hopping. We came here more for the cocktails. The food was sort of just whatever was cheapest on the menu. The other things on the menu average $30 a dish... 

I quite liked my yuzu margherita. It was definitely alcoholic and definitely yuzu flavoured but not overwhelmingly so. My friend's yuzu umeshu, I'm told, tasted almost just purely of yuzu. 

The ramen was good. There was a decent amount of toppings. The broth was really nice and the egg cooked to perfection. You could taste the smokiness in the pork. The noodles were your classic ramen standard noodles. It was good and worth it for $15 but I'm not convinced the other things on the menu would be worth it for their ~$30 price tag. 

I can't really fault this place. But it didn't blow me away either. Card surcharge here.
