This is my favorite ramen place thus so far. It's just too bad it was not closer to home.
We came here because I had to check out the ramen scene in Ontario.
Most of the ramen at Kenzo is under $11. Which in my book is awesome and the portions are huge! Which is even better.
They make their own broth, noodles, gyoza, etc. That is what it said on their wall.
I ordered the Ji Su Ramen which is a soy sauce base soup combined with chicken, eggs and sesame oil. Mixed with stir fried vegetables. Let's just say it was DELICIOUS. The soup was so smooth because of the eggs running around in it. The eggs are running throughout the soup so it looks like...egg drop soup.
There are popular places in NYC where the broth is soooooo salty that it's inedible and hurts my lips when the soup touches my lips. It's not like that at all at Kenzo. The saltiness of the soup/broth is the first thing I will observe. I did not find the soup overly salty at all at Kenzo, it was perfect.
I still think about the bowl of ramen that I had at Kenzo, it was that good.
The service was indifferent but it's in line with other ramen places. I was not at Kenzo for service, I was there for their ramen.
The appetizers are a bit more expensive than even NYC. We enjoyed their takoyaki very much, much more than most places in NYC.
Why does Kenzo have to be so far from home?! I miss you Kenzo!
