| - I will rarely write a review after a single visit to a restaurant, cafe, or food establishment. Unless some aspect(s) of the experience is an outer body enchantment. That being said, I waited until my 4th visit/3rd check-in to write this little diddy. *Wah wah*
Ramen Station is not an outer body experience. But is is A.O.K.
I love ramen. Who doesn't?! Ramen for breakfast, lunch, dinner, late-night snack. It's salty, comforting and an all-around slurpy yumminess that allows me to fill my tummy with while shelling out less $$$! Madison has a number of ramen, pho, and noodle-soup establishments, and to my surprise (maybe it's just me? I sure hope not!), few really make me want to come back for seconds or thirds.
The skewer appetizer offerings are fine. Nothing to rave about. Endamame is difficult to ruin. Dumplings are good (just never enough in one order...can I get an amen?!?!). The ramen bowls are run-of-the-mill. Flavor-wise, it's just nothing special. Not much for yummy veggies floating around in the salty, tantalizing broth selections but sprouts.
Give me some julienne carrots, green onion, basil, mushrooms. Please?
The last time I dined here, I ordered the seafood ramen - the shrimp was not shelled and awful to eat. I was picking pieces shell out of my mouth the entire time. So unpleasant!
The bathrooms have been very clean each time I venture into one. That's quite appreciated, to be honest!
Service has always been quick, snappy, and responsive.
Overall, again...nothing ravenous. Extremely mediocre.
