Looking for a non-pub place to eat near the university, a friend (and fellow Yelper!) suggested Wami.
Walking in the first thing that caught my eye was the Mega Ramen challenge advert. Finish the bowl (which was equivalent to 4 serving sizes of ramen) within 20 mins and it's free and you also had a chance to win prizes! Was I game? Hellllllll no. Was I hoping someone would do it while I was there? Absolutely! Lol
My friend and I got the aburi salmon oshizushi as an appie and we each got regular sized ramens as our mains.
Then a gong rang out, lo and behold, a table close to us was doing the challenge - YES!
I really enjoyed the aburi salmon, there was a perfect caramelization from the sear and the unagi sauce was a nice touch.
My spicy Korean ramen was pretty tasty. Although, we spent our dinner sneaking glances at the guy doing the challenge that I think by mere proximity, we got full without touching our meals lol
I packed up my leftovers (which made for a great lunch the next day) and they brought us complimentary mango puddings for dessert!
For those wondering, the guy did end up completing the challenge in the allotted time. I don't know whether he won a prize or where he placed.
Oh! If you shop at the Brentwood Coop, the back of your receipt has a coupon for BOGO free for ramen or sushi roll with the purchase of two drinks. Totally worth it!
