| - Pixel 8 is the place to go for authentic Japanese ramen.
It's in a good area, right next to a high school, so it's crowded during lunch time peaks, but still manageable.
The soup base for the ramen soup is very tasty and filling. It's hard to explain in words, just that it leaves you wanting another serving. The ramen noodles themselves are also very tasty, and they don't get soggy, as you sometimes find with noodles. They taste nothing like store-bought noodles, as I've seen some comment. As for the toppings, just get whatever suits your taste, as they all come in great portions. If you're one of those people who just won't get full, you can add an extra portion of noodles for a low cost, which I appreciate when I'm starving.
The sides are well cooked, though often a bit lacking in portions, which is the main reason I stick to the noodles, and also the reason why I'm taking a star off, for the lack of adequate portions, though if I could I'd take half a star off.
The drinks are average, and if you like that sort of thing go for bubble tea (w/ tapioca if you're up for it, I know several people who wouldn't eat tapioca if it would save their lives). The passion fruit bubble tea in particular really suits me, and I recommend you try that out. Also, as I'm a weakling who can't sleep at night if I drink any sort of tea (even nestea) after 6, Pixel 8 provides the bubble tea without the tea (bubble juice, if you will), at no extra cost.
All in all, it's a great place for lunch or a snack. If I ever feel the need for ramen or noodles, I'm coming here.
