I was extremely hungry and wanted to get a good nutritional meal in and this fit the bill perfectly! I never or rarely get to finish a ramen bowl all the way but I did with this one. I enjoyed the miso broth so much. The shrimp was a bit difficult with removing the skin but still worth it. I wish it was served to me a bit hotter because a minute or two in it was already cooler than I would have hoped, but still really recommend the ramen
Went here yesterday with a work colleague and I got the Chashu Ramen with an extra egg. The ramen was decent but I've had better. What I will say though is the ramen prices are very affordable compared to other ramen places I've been to. Also there weren't many people so we were seated very quickly and our waitress was fast on taking our order. The parking here is a hit or miss, most of which you will have to pay at a parking meter. This is a place that I would go to if I wanted to have decent affordable ramen and not have to wait that long.
4 stars only because I support small businesses. If youre looking for a quick ramen fix, not a bad spot. We came here dinner time on a rainy day place was almost empty. Food is 3/5 Service 4/5 More parking behind the building. High likely WILL NOT come back.
Walked past this place a few times and finally stopped by. It wasn't very busy for a Friday evening, only a couple of tables were occupied; we were seated right away. I was half expecting the typical ramen restaurant, but they offer a little bit more, a not so ordinary menu. Yes, they do have regular ramen, but some items I thought, were unique on their menu. They had a fried lobster tail, seared shrimp and also they had chicken wonton ramen, not a usual find at a ramen shop. They offer 4 kinds of broth: tonkotsu, Sapporo style miso, shoyu chicken broth & a creamy vegetarian broth. There are other menu options--curry noodles or rice bowls. We ordered the chicken wonton ramen (with the tonkotsu broth), curry noodle with popcorn chicken and takoyaki. The takoyaki was delicious--pieces of octopus in each bite and wasn't soggy. The chicken wonton ramen was tasty as well, the broth was a good rice flavor and not overly salty. However, I thought the curry noodle dish was on the dry side and the popcorn chicken made it even drier along with the shredded cabbage--it definitely needed more sauce. It was an interesting combination & enjoyable albeit dry. The service was great; our server was very attentive. This was not a dedicated ramen shop--there are both noodle & rice options as well as a good selection of sides. Definitely worth checking out.
We decided to have a light dinner and stopped by on a Friday. It was oddly quite and figured that most people don't want ramen for dinner. We tried a few things appetizers like the fries and popcorn chicken. The fries were fresh but I wasn't so into the sauce on top. The popcorn chicken was also very fresh and had a interesting texture. The noodles came next and we had the lobster, chashu and shrimp. Overall quality was good and all the soups were as well. The texture of the noodles was more like egg noodles than ramen but I enjoyed it. It was a bit liked and Refreshing. Service was prompt and the Sapporo was refreshing in a nice cold glass. The restaurant was nice and clean with a modern vibe to it.
Not your traditional ramen place. They put their own spin on it and I like it! Tonkotsu Ramen - Tonkotsu broth is more light and a stronger chicken than pork flavor. But I liked it a lot. Noodles could be chewier. Eggs were eggceptional - creamy, savory, a little sweet which was a plus. Chashu is very thin but smoked deliciously, it reminded me of aburi sashimi? Big kudos. Interesting choices here which makes it different than a traditional japanese tonkotsu ramen -- but I loved their take on it. They have more interesting ramen on the menu like scallop or shrimp. Takoyaki - hot, fresh, doughy, and satisfying. Service - feels like a family run restaurant! Efficient and nice. Ambiance - light filled, airy! Really love the minimalistic space here. It would boost the ambiance if they turned off the radio. Not much people either.
