Would come again, though not with a large group of friends due to limited seating. Service was okay (a bit on the slower side).
Nice place to eat for a quick bite. Karaage (fried chicken 5 pieces), Pork Chashu Don, and Shoyu ramen. The food was okay...actually I had a craving for ramen these days, and I had my fill with today's order. It felt like drinking an entire bowl of grease.Ambience 3.5Food 3.5Service 3.5Value 3.5AFSV average 3.5 across the board!
Came here for lunch on a workday after being intrigued by their menu. I really enjoyed the food! I got the black miso ramen and pork gyoza. The pork gyoza was good, it came out on a sizzling platter and they poured some tonkotsu stock on top. I liked this presentation and the gyoza soaked up the tonkotsu flavour. I did like the tonkotsu and gyoza flavour together (confused about another reviewer who said they couldn 't taste it? , though the crispiness of the gyoza is lost in the process. However, i think this is the best way to execute this idea if the gyoza were prepared by any other softer method, the skin would just be too soggy. Another note is that the gyoza are served with a really nice vinegary soy sauce, but it was hard to taste it in combination with the tonkotsu flavour. possibly having the dipping sauce be more viscous, like a glaze, would help distinguish the flavours better.As for the black miso ramen, i really enjoyed it. The tonkotsu broth had a good level of funkiness, authenticity, and depth. it was a perfect amount of saltiness for myself as well, such that i could enjoy drinking the broth by itself. the charcoal aromatic oil was interesting too, adding an interesting earthiness, and also it kind of left a lingering tannin/prickly like sensation on my tongue. The thicker, bouncy noodles served as a well picked accompaniment to the broth. And the toppings were all wonderful! The chashu was lean and thickly cut it tasted tender and like it had a nice brining because the flavour was great throughout. I adored the corn fritter so much it added a great texture when crisp, and tasted soooo good when soaking in the tonkotsu. the blanched bean sprouts and ground meat also worked with the dish.finally, i was greeted and served by a stoic and silent but attentive man. He didn 't say much but still knew when to bring my check and when i was ready to order at the exact right time. I really enjoyed this different style of service.overall, i really enjoyed the creativity in the food, and it was cheaper for ramen shops as well. I will definitely be coming back for more i want to try the matcha vegetarian option (it is cool that they have two veggie options!!! never seen a ramen shop have that many options and some of the japas too.
I love the presentation of the ramen! ?The corn fritter, a piece of lotus root and even some flavor foam on the top, give the ramen a great enhancement. Signature miso ramen and shoyu ramen were good. Red spicy shio and black shio were very good. And the yuzu cold noodle was the best! It was not on the menu. I think it was seasonal special. When we ordered it, the waiter said it’s last bowl. The yuzu flavor was so refreshing. Nothing better than a cold noodle in the hot summer day! Oh I love they put both roast pork (thin cut) and pork belly (thick) on the ramen. Roast pork was so tender even it’s not fatty
Came by for a new lunch spot. Nice service. QR Code Menu. Ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen: The corn fritter was something new I haven't had in any other ramen. I think I am more used to seeing sweet corn or roasted corn but this was actually very good. Maybe slightly too many beansprouts in my bowl as I almost had more beansprouts than noodles. Bill came out to be around $20 with everything included. Solid bowl of ramen.
