BF highly recommended this place. We're here the day after their holiday vacation, 1/4. We got here around 6:30pm, and boy ... yup, as expected, there was a crowd waiting outside. We put our name on the list, there was about 15 names ahead of us. We even went to the grocery next door to browse around ...
It was well over 1 hour wait, we finally got our table. Place is small, and tables are tightly packed. They have a big jar of ice water on each table, also minced garlic and pepper flakes condiments.

We ordered:
Tako Wasabi (Octopus Wasabi): finely chopped and served in wasabi sauce, a bit chewy, but it was good.

Karaage (Fried Chicken): it was a little greasy. chicken was juicy and crispy. remember to squeeze the lemon juice, it makes a big difference.

Orenchi Ramen (Tonkotsu base) - it was soooooo good. Soup base was rich and flavorful! Noodle was perfect al dente! Ok, maybe its just me ... the soup was a little salty to me (glad there was a jar of water on our table). They could use more than 1 of pork belly though. My runny egg wasn't too runny .... oh, you can add additional toppings for extra charge.
