  • Hiromaru originated in Japan and they still have locations there. They have 2 doors - use the left one. My main mission was to try their black garlic ramen since that's my favorite ramen of all. I was very impressed with how clean and slick the interior looks. Red accent wall, white walls, red chairs - my favorite color. I had great expectations but I was very much disappointed. This replaced the good ol' Cafe de Japon (you will be missed). I thought this place would be packed since they're new and people would want to try this place - but no. I went here with Tu Anh and Tony who've been here a few times since they opened. We got some appetizers. I asked for oolong tea but they ran out of tea. Seriously? We were given a mixed greens salad with a light dressing and immedicately, Tony said the salad was better when they first opened. Hiromaru Buns: The pork belly was tasty. It has greens and Kewpie (Japanese mayo) in it. I lost the pork belly somewhere in the steamed buns. Too much bun, not enough meat. 3.5/5 Gyoza: I've never been so disappointed with gyoza before. One side is supposed to be soft and the other side crisp with slight burn marks. Well, theirs has burn marks around one side of each gyoza and the rest seemed raw. According to cooking expert, Tony this is due to the fact that it was cooked from frozen. The pork filling didn't have much taste and the dipping sauce had too much soy sauce. 1/5 Kuroi Tonkotsu: Thin noodles in tonkotsu pork broth with ma-yu/ black garlic oil topped with 3 thin slices of chashu pork, hard-boiled egg, kikurage, and scallions. There's not enough broth. 3.5/5 Kaedama: Tony let me try his thick flat noodles for comparison since we have the same broth anyway. These noodles are unnecessarily chewy. It was like chewing on cartilage. I heard/felt a pop from my mouth - my jaw locked for a second. "They were softer the other time I went here". 1/5 Those red chairs are so darn heavy. I workout but I was not expecting those suckers to be THAT heavy. I kinda like my back and I don't want to break it. The consensus: INCONSISTENCY. How things were cooked and tasted on opening day is different from 2 days ago and last night. I'm willing to give them another try and hopefully, I catch them on a "good night". I would have to go to Carson/Torrance for my favorite bowl of black garlic ramen for now. *sigh*
