We've been excited for this new ramen store to be opened right in our neighbourhood. It's very clean and spacious inside and the location is just perfect.
We ordered the spicy miso and the shoyu ramen. Both of them came with egg and pork chasiu and I have to say that the ones here are nice and thick. The pieces that had mixtures of fat and lean meat tasted great and chewy but the pieces with lean meat tends to be alot more tough. The ramen selection is just the thick ones, which I prefer but they don't have the same curves as Sensotei which I much enjoy.
The spicy miso soup was decent - slightly average and it had a medium flavour - not super spicy but I felt that the dish had too much bean sprouts instead of the ramen ratio. My partners shoyu came piping hot which was great (mines was just slightly warm) and the soup was lighter. Definitely better in my opinion.
After eating the bowls of ramen we both felt rather thirsty.. I think the two of us drank 3 cups of water each but we had our waters refilled nicely every time. The service was attentive.
Overall, It is a very competitive location to open a ramen shop especially with strong leaders such as Sensotei just around a block down. I do hope this store the best. Will come back next time to update this review - I probably won't be as generous then. I hope menya continues to improve their ramen quality then, I hear they have great success on the other part of our country!
