They changed their noodles, it's now the thicker type which isn't bad per say.....but you get way less now. Is this the effect of inflation? I finished my bowl in like 4-5 bites.Also, their soup/tare combo has become rather lackluster. Unfortunate as this used to be one of my favorite places.
This place has bizarre vibes. Service once you got it is friendly but the restaurant has this vibe of apathy. The onigiri was just a white rice ball with no stuffing. The karaage was pure average like the quality from an all you can eat buffet...rough... Not fine. The gyoza were like the ones you get frozen from T&T supermarket sold here at a premium. The black tonkatsu ramen was again.... Just average, not particularly tasty but edible. Shio Ramen was also average. The takoyaki tasted like the frozen ones you can buy and reheat. The peach soda was literally 70% ice and 30% drinkable liquid. The presentation however was decent.So overall...edible food but better options are out there.
They have options for customization for each bowl. I usually switch out the noodles for spinach noodles as they taste and feel better. The taste is consistent and good; never had a bad experience. I would say the broth isn't as flavourful as it could be, even at different richness, but that's just my preference. Service is good. The entrance is very small, though. When it gets busy, people usually wait outside. The wait can be long on the weekends so be prepared.Overall, it is a satisfying meal. A good place to eat with your family.
Decent tsukumen. I am not a big fan of the dipping broth as it was quite sharp and lacked body, but the ramen noodle, charsiew and egg was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back but would try the soup ramen next time. It was pretty busy at even 4pm so come early.
We were looking for a good Ramen place and found this location. It's in a strip mall with lots of parking.Small place. When u walk in there is a clipboard, add your name to the list. They work off that. No real hostess.Menu is on the wall by the table. Good selection and they have some combo deals you can get.We got 2 different Ramen, side dish of bamboo, seaweed salad, some chicken appetizer, and some kimchi. All were excellent and my girlfriend really loved the seaweed salad. I saw her eyeing mine. We also ordered a pork donburi which was average, taste a little bland.Kitchen is fast and service good.Price is $$ and would go back. Suitable for dates, and small family. Over 4 people and not sure they can accommodate a party that big.
My fav go-to ramen place, love that it came all the way from Japan so its got the validity of being authentic. Love that they don't just serve ramen but also tsukemen, tantanmen(?) and mazesoba, their triple combo deal is nice, I always get that, I'm digging their strawberry soda actually, their ramen is great and I love their small beef bowl.
I always love their ramen. Great flavourand good noodles texture. The one improvement would be that they can remember to pack the Roasted seaweed in takeout orders. Pretty much 4/5 times, they forget to pack it. The seaweed is a great addition to the ramen.
Came here a long time ago and decide to go there again since my friend reminded me that this is her favorite ramen place in van.I really liked the food (but I'm not sure if it's the best one since they all kind of taste the same to me? ) and a vegetarian friend that came with us this time really really liked her food which is really rare to find!
Great ramen. Portion is quite big. Friendly staffs.
suspecting management change; missing original super rich and delicious soup base which is the star of this ramen outlet; ramen presentation different and char siu meat no longer melts in your mouth
