| - First let me say that I luv that there's a Ramen place near my house - FINALLY!!!!
Oh and it's right next door to yummy Bachi Burger - now a yummy Japanese/Hawaiian Bakery just needs to open next door to these 2 places and I'm good.....
The inside is on the small side but not as small as other Ramen places - I lived in SF for a few yrs. and there are way smaller restaurants - almost tiny.....
Again just like the last Ramen place we ate at the decor of wood (wooden chairs, tables ect...) seem to be the trend right now.
The waitress and waiter were very attentive - constantly giving us new water even though we weren't finished with the water we already had.
I asked the BF about what something was on the menu and waitress heard me and answered my question right away - that was good knowing that she was paying attention.
Gyoza - different,tasty, but needed to be cooked longer. An order consists of 8 pieces and by the time we got to the 6th piece I noticed that the inside was not hot and too soft so when I spit it out I saw that it was still raw. The waitress showed the chef and I was asked if we wanted a new order but we declined.
*** I orderd the Lobster Ramen only sadly to be told that they were out of Lobster - That sucked!!!! ***
So I settled on the Miso Ramen while adding Buttered Corn for $2.00 (which I think is too much $ for corn) and fried garlic.The noodles were perfectly firm and yummy- I enjoyed the noodles. The broth to me could've had more taste - I know that I could've added Soy Sauce ect... But I like eating food at a place that I'm paying for without having to add flavor. I'm not saying that I didn't like it - I just think the broth needed more something.....
The BF had the Spicy Miso Ramen which had Chasu,Red Ginger,Kaiware,Fried Garlic,Spinach,Green Onions, Chile Threads, Menma and Nori. Now, one look at this soup and it looked like a party going on in that bowl!!! I tried the broth at it was OK as well. I like the Spinach and all the add-ins.
The BF was a little turned off by all the add-ins while I on the other hand was turned on by it....
I LOVE PICKELED PLUMS!!!! So I was happy to know that you get a pickled plum in your soup but I think they should've used seedless plums cause if your not careful you could hurt yourself chopping down on one.
I was given a complementary scoop of their Black Sesame Ice Cream probably because of my raw gyoza. I am thankful though for the ice-cream. I liked the ice cream - yes it was different and a bit weird at first but once you get over the weirdness it's actually yummy....
I think the prices of the appetizers should be cheaper though....
So while our first visit was OK I will return to Shoku Ramen-ya again and hopefully get to try the Lobster Ramen,Karage Chicken wings (even though I hate wings) and the fried rice looked good as well. I like to give all new restaurants a 2nd try before I count them out because just like a new baby - there needs to be time to grow :0 crawl,walk, then run......
