This place is so failsauce compared to that of real ramen. The noodles were reminiscent of instant noodles more so than actual ramen. The broth served was barely lukewarm. It seemed as if they just melted a few bouillon cubes rather than it being cooked from actual ingredients. I went there all excited that Arizona had a place dedicated to ramen and left so disappointed. I really wanted to love the place.
The seaweed salad and kimchi were quite good however but again for a place that is titled Republic Ramen, one would think the focus would be on the actual ramen. If you go to Ranch Market you can buy the Asian instant noodles and have a better tasting experience.
Although Toh San isn't great by any means - it was MUCH better than Republic Ramen. If you get a chance to visit NYC - please visit Ippudo. It'll introduce you to real ramen.
