I was excited to see that a new ramen place had open so close to where i lived. At the same time, I wasn't expecting much from the little ramen joint that were run by non-Japanese owners. I was quite skeptical but I decided to give it a try given the good reviews.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their ramen. My boyfriend and I order the spicy ramen level 2 and the curry katsu (fried pork cutlet) ramen. The ramen was thick and al dente and the bone broth was very flavourful. Their soft-boiled egg was perfect, it was well marinaded and the yolk was orange and gooey. The spicy ramen at level 2 had a good kick without overpowering everything. (However, i can take quite a bit of heat). What I loved about it, were the little dried shrimps that gave it another dimension of texture and flavour. The curry ramen came with a sizeable portion of pork cutlet, which was accompanied by its own katsu sauce. However, the curry broth was rich enough to accompany the pork as it is.
I am very satisfied with Koi Sakana and definitely will be coming back to try the other dishes. Definitely excited that I don't have to travel all the way to downtown for a good bowl of ramen :)
