I came here on the recommendation of my friend that had raved about this place, While my expectations were higher for this place because of my friend it is not due to my expectations that I was disappointed with the food, since I know what I like when it comes to my ramen. I got the Kyouka Ramen which seemed like a good choice considering it was named after the restaurant. I chose the light fat flavour with the mild chili paste. They have instructions on the menus recommend eating the ramen within 10 minutes of it being served.
From first impressions the ramen had blobs of oil on the surface. It was topped with a chili paste that you can mix in for a bit of a kick. I tried the broth with and without the paste, the chili paste gave it a stronger flavor to the mild broth. I can't recall what the ramen was topped with but I remember there being chives that I found a bit odd in my ramen. The restaurant claims to serve authentic ramen and not use MSG, however I never seen ramen being paired with chives and found the broth to be too mild for my taste. The texture of the ramen was what I didn't like about the ramen most of all, the noodle were too soft to the point of being like fresh made pasta, there wasn't much bite to it.
Personally, I have had better ramen and I feel like even Kinton was better than this place and it is my least favourite ramen place in the city.
