Craving for ramen I decided to try the new place in town and headed to Hiromaru fusion ramen. I'm no very comfortable with the fusion word in restaurants since I'm a firm believer that original is better. Having said that there has been some instances when mixing two cuisines something wonderful is created so I went ahead and ordered the ramen carbonara and quickly realized this wasn't one of those instances.
For me the ramen carbonara was like some version of Olive Garden's carbonara complete with the waitress grinding fresh pepper into my plate and as she asks me to tell her when to stop. The soft melt in my mouth pork that I'm used to in ramen dishes was nothing more than plain bacon in this dish and the broth tasted like a very watery Alfredo sauce.
Service is good all the employees are very attentive and try their best to make you feel comfortable although the atmosphere of the dining room is not very inviting, for the lights are very bright and the combination of mostly white and red accents of the room made me feel like I was eating in the middle of a target store commercial shooting. More earthy colors could make this place more welcoming and dimmer lighting more relaxing.
On a different note, I can't exactly recall what they were playing but the music was awesome but so was the music I was playing in my car on my way home wishing I've would've had some real Japanese ramen.
I may come back again but next time I'll order something more authentic from the menu, for now I'll give this place three stars.
