| - Went for dinner here with a good friend, we're big ramen fans and are always up for trying a new place. I ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen and she ordered the Gyokaitonkotsu Shoyu ramen. We also got the gyoza as a starter. And to our surprise, there was a drink special; $3.50 for a pint of Sapporo, so got that as well!
A tip for everyone coming here is to CHECK YOUR UTENSILS before using them. I casually pulled a spoon out to use with my ramen and as I turned it to dip into my soup, I noticed half the spoon still had old rice stuck on it! Couldn't throw it away fast enough. Good thing it didn't touch my soup yet!
Now onto the food. The gyoza was pretty average, nothing overly special. The ramen I found wayyyy too salty. Great idea to get the beer with it. In terms of the toppings, I found the meat to be a bit overcooked dry. It otherwise only had sprouts and cabbage, not sure if they forgot corn (cause it's in the picture). The noodle texture was good, chewy, cooked just right!
Probably will not make a point to return. I think their competitors have beat them out in terms of quality. For their price for a bowl of ramen, I expected a decent meal, but overall was not wow-ed. If you're in the area and looking for an average bowl of ramen with no line up, this would be an ok place.
