    Positive: server was excellent and food and drinks were very good. Negative: our reserved table was not ready when we arrived and there was no comfortable place to wait. Restaurant was extremely loud. We learned every detail about the group at the next table because they were loud and obnoxious and practically on top of us. I would return but only at off peak hours.

    Food was excellent. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. Easy parking near city hall. Only bump in the experience was the hipster dude with the flannel shirt and blonde streak working the hostess stand that had an attitude and no idea how to manage table seating. He needs to go asap. Otherwise everything was awesome.

    The food was very good. A little more than our favorite place in Cambridge, MA, but closer and nicer ambiance. Service was good.

    This was our second time eating at Chashu Ramen + Izakaya, and it was just as good as the first. The ambiance and service is top notch! The restaurant itself has a great vibe. The food and drinks are also top notch! We started off our meal with the fried chicken and brisket bao, both were great the meat was tender and the slaw and sauce were a nice tangy contrast. The bao buns themselves were incredible; perfectly soft and pillowy. We both had ramen for a main course. I got the red miso tonkatsu and my partner got the ghost tonkatsu. Both were amazing, the noodles were perfectly cooked, the broth was rich and flavorful and the toppings perfectly prepared. A warning that the ghost tonkatsu was super spice was definitely warranted. It left us both with our faces flushed and noses running in the best way possible. Definitely one of our new favorites in Worcester!
