"I feel as though I've been hearing \"ramen\" everywhere these days and since my experience with it doesn't extend past dry Mr. Noodles with seasoning packages, I decided to try it out this weekend. I yelped what was around me and found Kenzo. The most recent reviews were good so I figured it wouldn't be horrendous. \n\nKenzo's in a small strip plaza but not too easy to miss. Quaint little spot that maybe seats 20? I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was really quiet, which was nice. Waitress was prompt and that will always make me warm up to a restaurant quickly. \n\nThe menu isn't overwhelming (another feature I appreciate) and there are pictures which helped with my rookie order. I went with the Sapporo something. I believe it was a miso base with pork and vegetables. I asked for 0.5 spicy on a range from 0-5. \n\nGuys, let me tell you, this was SOLID. I'm really sensitive to spice so I couldn't breathe after five minutes, but it tasted awesome. Wtf was I doing with Mr. Noodles? I'd feel so disrespected if I'd created ramen and the alternative was a 99 cent package of MSG. Anyway the serving was massive. I was brokenhearted to have not been able to finish it. It was seriously so good. Any order comes with a side of slivered radish which clears your buds so basically every slurp is like trying the ramen again for the first time. \n\nThe price was decent: 10 bucks for a bowl I couldn't finish so I felt good about it. So good that I went back again today. I had the gyoza ramen this time which I didn't like quite as much, but liked it enough to finish it. \n\nSo I've made it my goal to try everything on this menu and to use Kenzo as a starting point to become a ramen connoisseur. I loved it so damn much."^^ . "3"^^ .
