" I visited Bad Luck Ramen during a busy evening and was pleasantly surprised with how quickly we were seated. Our server was quick with our orders, but I was left disappointed with my bowl of ramen. The flavors were unbalanced; I expected more depth from the broth. However, I love the atmosphere and will give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Coming from a ramen enthusiast, the food was solid but didn’t blow my mind. The tonkotsu broth had potential, but it could have been richer. My server was polite, but I felt overlooked at times. Nice ambiance, but overall I expected more based on the reviews. " (*Curated Review*)
