  • Initially I went into the plaza because I wanted something from Nakamura bakery, but it was closed so I defaulted to this place. I had pretty high expectations because I thought "well everything else in J Town is so good, cause it's authentically Japanese, why shouldn't this one!" They also posted a newspaper article regarding their ramen which got me excited! To be honest my only other ramen experience is Ajisen, and I thought this "authentic" place must be waaay better. I was kind of wrong. They had a very limited menu, especially compared to Ajisen, and the soup base was kind of bland. Some may argue that maybe this is b/c they have no msg (not sure if they do), but personally I think broth can be flavourful with or without msg. I ordered the ramen with miso soup base which came with half an egg, 2 slices of chasu, and some corn and beansprouts. I was excited to see that the egg is cooked just right (medium rare, kind of hard to find in a restaurant), but i bit into it and it was flavourless =(. I prefer the soy egg from Ajisen. I somewhat salvaged the egg when I submerged it in the soup though. Also the noodle quality of the ramen looked very instant noodle-like. It had a good texture, but I still prefer Ajisen. Overall I think this restaurant was a miss, despite a really good atmosphere and a friendly waitstaff. I know some of you might be appalled that I am a fan of the Ajisen franchise as opposed to the rustic and little ramen shop, but for a similar price Ajisen offers me more food, and more flavour in comparison. I also question the authenticity of Niwatei's ramen, 'cause I heard that Japanese ramens are supposed to be a bit thicker, but hey I can't really make a call on it since I've never been to Japan. Lesson of the day: Just b/c it's Japanese people making Japanese food, doesn't mean it'll be really good!! Note: I know I mentioned Ajisen alot, but I swear I'm not affiliated! It's just the only ramen place I've ever had, and I like to compare b/w similar experiences in my reviews. =)
