| - I've never been a huge fan of ramen... but I think Ryus has changed my mind! Went with a friend on a late Sunday afternoon and sat on their patio since sitting inside actually felt hotter than outside. The table was under an umbrella - the temperature was perfect under the shade on the hot summer day.
My friend got a combo, which seemed like a pretty good deal for a side dish (he got gyoza, but there were other choices such as any of the rice bowls, tofu, etc.), ramen and a soft drink (unlimited refills). He got the shoyu ramen - he's been a few times and said he's enjoyed the noodles each time.
I opted for the special cold salad noodle - with a homemade sesame sauce and vegetable (really yummy bamboo shoots and white fungus) and meat (cha-shu, which was delicious, and chicken, a bit bland) toppings. Everything tasted good together, and the presentation was great. It was the same price for the regular and large size, so of course I had to go for the large. I was able to finish half of it, and packed the rest to go. The waitresses were very attentive, and helped me pack up my leftover nicely (sauce in a separate container).
Lastly, I must comment on the washrooms! It was super clean and carefully kept - there was toothpicks, mouthwash, nicely folded toilet paper... things you'd only expect at higher end restaurants. It seems petty but I like to judge the overall commitment to quality and service of a restaurant/venue by how the washroom is, so five stars for this!
