Application materials illustrate an interior of fifteen tables, one long bar close to the entrance, and a fourteen-person noodle counter in the rear of the establishment. And, of course, a backyard dining area with “Japanese Garden.”

Cost seems somewhat middle-of-the-road, with an average price being roughly $15 for a bowl of ramen.
