  • More towards a 3.5. Before I start this review I want to clarify that the noodles at McRamyun are in fact instant noodles, and it's supposed to be that way. I make this clarification because I read a blog post where the reviewer bashed the restaurant for using instant noodles and compared it to the likes of sansotei and santouka. These comparisons are unfair because that's not what ramyun here means. Ramyun is korean, and often used in reference to instant noodles. Most items on the menu use instant noodles and combines it with a korean soup (ie. doenjang chigae) or a korean dish (ie corn cheese). I thought the construction of the menu is pretty clever. Now that terms have been defined I will move forth with my review! I ordered the corn cheese ramyun and was too cheap to add a protein to it for extra $$. It was a wise choice on my point because it actually came with pancetta (i believe), and the cheese sauce itself made the dish real filling. Overall I enjoyed what I had. The sauce had strong cheese flavour and was not just plain white sauce and fresh veggies were included to balance the heavy dish. I do have trouble with the price point though. The dish is about $11 and since there were only a few pieces of pancetta I don't think that price can be justified due to low food costs. Unless the cheese for the sauce is really expensive? What made McRamyun lose points was my friends dish. She ordered the ddeok (rice cake) ramyun, and unlike my dish, hers came in a soup base. It's supposed to be spicy but they were kind and accommodated her with a non-spicy soup base. On their menu they advertise that they will balance the unhealthiness of instant noodles with fresh ingredients. The soup however tasted too instant in both of our opinions and detracted from the restaurant's promise of an "upgraded" ramyun experience. My friend also mentioned that the ddeok were under-cooked. Overall, I think this restaurant is novel enough for a single visit, but I have difficulty imagining myself returning due to the price point and the quality of the soup-based ramyun since that's the majority of the menu.
