It's ok it's mid at best.
Ramen is just not as good as other places for the same price point.
And you have to pay extra to have an egg dropped in your Ramen and that egg is COLD! What the white people running a ramen place is that? Look it should just be cheaper for this quality that's all.
The triple garlic was pretty good but the charred corn overpowers the broth with that earthy char taste and the garlic is missing till you clear that out.
The other selections are a bit watery like the broth has not had long enough to steep and come together.
Service is non existent which again at this price point is unacceptable.
I can go to two ten or black dynasty pay the same price for food and have a wonderful server.
I can also find a massive sake selection liquor and cocktails which is non-existent here.
Here it's ordering at a counter and getting flat coke from a fountain.
If you do want drinks it's beer or sake in a cup or soju and you gotta go back and hope someone is at the counter and you can cut in line.
The prices there are higher to. I could like this spot the interior is nice, the seating is great for groups but this is $10 ramen served at $17 or 18 dollars if you want an egg.
Get reservations at two ten or get the ramen at any good sushi joint like Maru sapparro or bite a bit and you'll be better served.
If you are a larger group this is a much better place to consider. Still like their takeout window.

We have never had a poor experience at Otaku! The newer East Nashville location did not disappoint! After several orders from the "to go" window with excellent success we decided to bring a friend in for lunch.
The ramen was as expected for Otaku, fresh, delicious, exceptionally proportioned! I'm soooo glad this location is minutes away from home!

i should have looked at the reviews before ordering.
i even ordered three times being optimistic.
the first order was perfect second and third horribe...who wants oily bread? my sandwich was SOAKED with oil with the exception of my first order...
