| - YELP 365 CHALLENGE 2014-(69/365) "Hiromaru is HERE!!!"
This is the latest Ramen spot to open up in Chinatown, and after people had a little taste of Hiromaru at the Aki Matsuri Festival, Yelpers are making the trek here like a bunch of flies on a freshly made turd!
In the former Cafe De Japon spot, the interior has been redone with bursts of red and white, and the other half of the room still under construction to feature more Japanese Fusion items. We ordered The Carbonara($10.95), Karaage($5), and Tate-Yama Ramen($9.95) The Karaage, although juicy, barely had flavor, pretty skimpy, and lacked the crisp exterior I'm used to having in other tastier versions.
Our Ramen arrives, and the portions are pretty huge! Wifey's Carbonara is very good, as was mine, but the Tate-Yama advertised a double portion of the thick noodles....my bowl was more like one third thick noodles and two third bean sprouts. Banchan for days I tell you! Another bummer? Hard boiled egg...:( It advertises it on the menu, but there's nothing like SOFT boiled egg with your ramen IMHO....
Great thick noodles, and very tasty broth, but the kinks still need to be refined, and we'll definitely return when Hiromaru is up to speed. ALOHA!!!
Shaka Meter: \uuu/ \uuu/ \uuu/ \uu 3.5
*Great thick noodles with perfect texture and tasty broths, they'll only get better as time goes by...
