i have never had a good meal there (food and service). the tribeca location is definitely a bit better but still wildly inconsistent.

Minca and Rairaiken are probably better than the downtown Menkuitei, but the midtown menkuitei and menchanktei are probably better than those 3 downtown. Saburi's ramen's are also very good and should be tried.
But you should really take a trip to the Mitsuwa, if not to stock up on Japanese groceries, to try the Santouka that is there, and then compare them with Setagaya. Honestly I was I was a shioramen fan, I would be a lot more excited about Setagaya...
Ramen is really Japan's national dish... if Gah Mee Ohk can stay open 24 hours a day serving soluntang, it's still a bit of a mystery to me why there can't be a 24 hour ramen shop in the right location, i guess we're just missing someone with the balls to do it...
ippudo will be opening on 4th ave later this fall. i remember in tokyo they were open till at least 4 am. hopefully the manhattan outpost will be the same.

it has the only public bathroom in the area so I've set foot in there a few times. can't say that I've eaten there!
me too!!! i would say that is probably the case for a lot of people visiting rome!

Thanks. I tried being nice on the phone, but was nicely informed, No room. They suggested I try 48 hours in advance because that's when cancellations kick in.
Bummer. I wish I could plan things more in advance.
I don't want to clutter this thread with anything off-topic, but if you have any strong feelings about other places in Chicago I should try, please shoot me a PM. I've dined at Trotters and Topolobompo and want to try something new this time. Maybe Tru? Moto? Anyway, thanks. (Oh, and I should say that I am there Sunday night to Wednesday night, so two of the nights (Sunday and Monday)probably have few options. Thx)
wow that is surprising...i went 2 fridays ago and made the reservation less than 2 weeks before that. maybe b/c it was a 4-top rather than 2.

i believe you are right...i know that the l'atelier in tokyo (roppongi) had it and i had a long conversation with my server about how I couldn't get it in the US. in the end, my server insisted that they had it at the NYC l'atelier.
