Went there on a friday afternoon for lunch as a friend recommended it as a authentic ramen place. Truthfully I dont think he or I know what authentic ramen is because the only other ramen he and I tried is Ajisen and the instant type you buy at the groceries. And now to the review.
What I ordered: King of Kings Ramen
Price: $11.49
First of the ambience was nice and decor was decent. Not an upscale place but not a hole in the wall either. The service staff was friendly but one think I wasn't appreciative is that my order actually had options on it and I was not told of the options. I only found out when I heard another waiter next to me take someone elses order. Apparently i can choose how spicy and whether i wanted pork or chicken. First fail!
Now for the food. It was a huge bowl. My dish was a broth based ramen mixed with pork, seaweed, bean sprouts, and ground pork. The broth was pretty good. Salty but not overly, and spicy wise had some kick. the noodles were the yellow type that chinese use to for chow mein; which isn't my fav type but i thought the texture was fine as it was chewy but yet soft and not mushy. The best part of the meal was the pork. It was flavourful with a touch of sweetness. The texture was soft but not mushy and melts in your mouth. The ground pork was ok. I tasted some herbs in there but nothing that jumped out at me. About the only negative that stuck out to me is the size of the dish. You better be hungry as they only have one size and it aint small.
So overall i though the experience and food was decent and I'd definitely go back again. They could improve on their service and maybe offer different sizes for those who can't eat as much. Price wise it was fair value for the money in my books. Definitely worth a try if you looking for authtentic Ramen, and so we think.
