| - I came here for lunch after seeing the "okay" reviews on yelp. The restaurant was small like any other ramen place but we didn't wait too long for a table.
I ordered the combo with spicy miso ramen which also came with pop (free refills) and gyoza. What's special about this ramen place is that you get to choose a sauce that you can add to your soup after you have eaten half your noodles (apparently that is the Ryu way of eating their noodles). Sauces include XO sauce, truffle sauce (extra $0.25) and garlic and shallot sauce.
However, the soup was thick, bland, and tasteless, even AFTER adding in the sauce. For the noodles you can choose to have them soft, regular or hard. After ordering the regular I felt that the noodles were not bouncy at all. The gyozas were good but overall, the ramen really disappointed me. With so many options in town and within walking distance (Kinton, Raijin, Santouka, etc.), I would say Ryu is my least favourite and I would not recommend this place for ramen lovers.
