| - WOW! This ramen place definitely surprised me.
Now, I'm not a huge fan or noodles or ramen in general. Except pho, I fucking love pho. But ramen... has never seemed to impress me before.
I've tried various places, like kenzo ... but it was all mediocre at best.
I came here with my boyfriend after work and as soon as I walked in, I realized it was a traditional izakaya kind of atmosphere, with loud greetings and cheerful yells. Not as annoying as guu though.
Anyway, one bad thing is that the tables are super small with not much space to put bags or anything else. I don't really like the idea of hanging my jacket up on a rack that anyone can have access to either.
I've never seen a ramen menu like this before, you get to pick exactly what you want in your ramen and exactly how rich the broth is and how thick the noodles are.
I tried the pork ramen with miso flavour + chicken breast & I chose the option to have the rich broth. It was amazing, and soooo filling. I definitely couldn't finish it, so I made my boyfriend eat it all so we could all be 'kinton bowlers' (anyone who can successfully finish an entire bowl of ramen down to the last drop). They also have a reward program for various prizes with every bowl of ramen finished ... 1000 bowls finished = $1000 gift card ... omg is that even possible!?!
Also! Give the takoyaki a try!! It's delicious and unlike any of the typical street market ones. Absolutely amazing. It comes in 4, and I think it's around $4-5. Not bad.
The waitresses are super friendly, even though some of them have almost zero english skill. It's ok, I'm good with communicating through hand signals. She also gave us free gyoza coupons for next time, so we will definitely be returning!
