| - One word to describe this place:
Disappointing
Been told by fellow korean friends that this chain is "not bad" as its similar to the ramen shops in korea
I been to those shops in korea, i also been to the ones in japan, so this Kenzo shop, at least this one, not sure about the others, is an absolute disgrace to whatever "japanese" style its serving
Lets start with what was ordered
Karashi ramen $8.95
Tsukemen $10.95
Lets start with the karashi
Huge portion, always a plus for any big eaters such as myself
First taste is the spicy broth...mmmm...barely any flavour...its like they dumped spicy sauce in hot water and mixed it
So now im not looking forward to the rest of the bowl, you know if the broth is bad in a bowl of ramen, saving the rest may be near impossible
The roasted pork slices were all right, bean sprouts flooded my bowl, noodles not good, woodear mushrooms okay, bamboo shoots looked and tasted like it came straight out of the bottle from the chinese supermarket and the fish cake...not sure which frozen one they bought but it tasted funny
So okay...pretty bad bowl of ramen...looked at my gf's tsukemen, looked okay, must be better than mine
This is how she described her tsukemen
Noodles tasted like dish soap
The dipping broth had like no flavour, such a lack of salt
The roasted pork slices tasted like...dry flavour meat
And fish cake had a weird taste like mine did
Overall
Disappointing
Never again
Only plus was the server, he was really nice and unfortunately we cant blame him for the food :(
