Artisan Bento

We had an excellent meal of ramen with the deep flavorful and rich broths. One person in party ordered the vegan ramen while another person ordered the duck ramen. Both had flavorful, rich broths. You order first and then select your table inside or outside and both areas have counters for individual seating. Fast service during dinner hours.

Very clean presentable place. Food came out quick. Duck raman was so good I got a to go for my girlfriend to take home. It was neatly wrapped in a bag in case of slight spills or tilts that you wouldnt get it all over your stuff. Water is self serve but I really like their plates and bowls for the food, as well as their metal cups. Great presentation, will definitely be back again. I loved sitting out on their patio people watching while we ate. Kudos

Ordered the duck ramen. The egg was boiled perfectly, the duck was extremely tender, the chicken broth was refreshing and felt clear, the green onions didn't really compliment the dish as it should. Tasted my friend's Baja Birria's broth, perfect spice and flavorful! The decor and the feel of the restaurant was modern with a bit of Asian fusion to it. Not that I expected for service for water, just don't be surprised if you must get water for yourself, which I didn't mind at all. Would recommend friends to come when they're in town.

Restaurant hopping and ended with Hachi Ramen. When I first walked in I could not help but to gag a little as the smell was pungent. Towards the left there's a stand so order there and you will be given a number then have a seat. I opt to sit outside on the patio. I ordered the Kyushu Tonkotsu Ramen. The broth was delicious and fatty. The pork belly was tender and the noodles were al dente. Perfect! Definitely would return when I'm in SD.
