| - Having been to Raijin Ramen a couple of times, I think this restaurant deserve some mentioning about it. So far, the standard has been set from Sansotei Ramen just a couple of streets away. While Raijin doesn't necessarily compete with Sansotei, it still is one of my favourite ramen restaurants because of it's value and location.
Once you step into Raijin, you'll be surprised at how big the venue is. Often times when I come here as a group, there were plenty of space for all of us to sit comfortably in the dining room. The only gripe is that the back dining room does not have any windows, but a TV will suffice.
The menu at Raijin is both elaborative and diverse. You can choose one of many types of the traditional ramen base, but you can also choose to have it in a combo, complete with rice, salad, and soup. The value of the combo cannot be understated, as it provides a good sized portion of side dishes and ramen for less than $20. The ramen and side dishes themselves were also pleasantly rich in flavour. My favourite bowls of ramen is the Tonkatsu and Spicy Shoyu, both not too creamy and tasting delicious. The ramen toppings are generously provided, and the side dishes were also plentiful for the palette. As for the service, it has always been fast and efficient. The staff is courteous and respectful.
At the end of the day, if you're looking for a bowl of ramen (or even more) at an incredibly good price with great flavour, look no further (and definitely not Kenzo...). This is the place to go.
