    Oh no, I used to love their Mix Eel rice, anyone know of a similar dish elsewhere?

      Their ramen was marginal at worst, average at best. And overpriced to boot.

        Yeah, that was always my take on it. I never understood the adulation.

        a shame really, their shoyu ramen special was something magical. Let's hope the taisho resurfaces somewhere w/ the same ramen.

        it will be missed....

          Will be VERY missed. No more eel dish. :( It was one of my few dependable joints in midtown!

            darn, that was some really good ramen.

            Anyone know why they closed? They always seem to be bustling for lunch.
