| - I dropped by this place as a recommendation, and I wasn't exactly impressed. I didn't think it was stellar, but it was still above average. I'd give it a 3.5 for food and 5 for service.
My party and I started out with the gyoza appetizer. I don't remember the exact taste of it, but I didn't think it was bad. The gyoza was average. Afterwards, I ordered the Shiro Miso Ramen, and the three delicious things that stuck out to me were the broth, the noodles and the pork. Most broth at ramen places are extremely salty, but this place wasn't. I, for the first time ever, was able to drink the broth without drinking a gallon of water afterwards. The noodles were definitely the best part. Super soft and mhmm. After eating what I could of my bowl (huuuuuuge portions), I picked out the strands of noodles. And the pork. Like I mentioned earlier, huuuuuge portions, and huuuuge portions of pork. At the end of our meal, they serve complimentary lychee sorbet. With the heat of ramen, it definitely hit the spot! Sweet, but not too sweet.
And now the bad. :( I thought this place was a bit overpriced for what we were getting. Huge portions are great, but quality over quantity. I remember my bowl being roughly $12, but after adding the egg and seaweed, my bowl came out to roughly $15? With the price, I would have thought that the egg would have been included, but it wasn't. I would have enjoyed a smaller bowl with a variety of ingredients. They also add bean sprouts, and I found that a bit weird. I don't think ramen and bean sprouts go together.
But all in all, there is room for improvement. :)
