  • I entered deeply skeptical of the idea - Asian fusion restaurants rarely do things well, as they emphasize style over substance and tend to be gimmicky. But now having actually tried it, I thoroughly withdraw my criticism. I have tried all the ramen place that I'm aware of (here, Umami, and the newly opened Ramen Kid), and of the three, I place this in highest esteem by a hair's length. For lunch, I had a bowl of their pork ramen with a miso soup base. I also had a chef's choice of sashimi (7 pieces) and a cup of jasmine tea. The space itself is very pleasant. Large space, high ceiling, with the clean modernist aesthetic of other places on the Square like Graze. Now, the first crucial test - is the ramen broth savory? Yes! It's miso-based, not pork broth-based, so it's not so meaty as the tonkotsu that you might get at Ramen Kid and is instead more generally savory the way miso soup is. The pork slices were tender, and the ramen noodles were properly cooked (not soggy, but with texture and firmness). The sashimi was also really good. Maybe it's because I haven't had seafood for ages, but the sashimi tasted fantastic that day. If the fish had been frozen for some extent before, it isn't apparent from the quality of the fish. Five stars here doesn't quite mean my usual five stars. Usually five stars for me means "good god this meal was divine". No, I won't go so far as to order from here as my last meal, five stars merely that it is better than the other ramen places. And not by a huge margin - the ramen itself is on par with Ramen Kid, and it squeaks by because the ambiance and other accoutrements (especially their drink menu) of Tavernakaya makes it better. It's also not the cheapest, so let that be a part of your calculations if you decide to come here. But as a whole, I must disagree with the majority and give Tavernakaya more credit than what my second-hand impressions of the place first had me believe.
