~The Gates of Ramen Heaven~
As you saunter pass the red curtains outside entrance…. you can’t help but wonder, why are all these people standing on the street? What is it? Why are they waiting?. It’s ramen! Throughout the years there have been a number of Japanese noodle places popping up all over the city of Vancouver. But Kintaro has stood the test of time… being one of the older establishments, it still boasts a line up during the meal hours every day.
Waiting for food usually deters me from visiting a food establishment. But unable to shake my intense craving for ramen, I gave in and made my way down to this institution during lunch hour, on a weekend, no less…. Yikes!
While waiting in line, one of the servers came out and started passing out menus to the customers. As you progress in the line, the server then comes to take your order. When you get a table and sit down, your food arrives shortly thereafter. Excellent! I love efficiency!
I applaud Kintaro for making the “line-up” process as painless as possible. Getting in the orders of the customers waiting in line speeds up the turnover in tables. Customers spend less time at the tables therefore customers waiting spend less time in line. What more can we ask for?
