"Eating at Tokyo Ramen Fredericton ruined my week." I drove past this place every day, hearing people hype it up, so I finally gave it a shot with my wife. Big mistake.
The moment we walked in, things felt off. We stepped into the second section of the shop, only to be called out by a female staff member and told to sit in the hallway chairs. Weird, right? We were confusedāuntil we saw other customers who arrived after us being welcomed straight into that same section we were pulled away from.
I asked staff, point blank, why in Godās name my wife and I couldnāt sit there. They acted āconfusedā and suddenly said we couldāso we dragged all our stuff over, but the damage was done.
Then came the next slap in the face: after our food arrived, staff kept hovering over us like we were unwelcome, asking five separate times in about fifteen minutes if we āneeded anything.ā Meanwhile, every other table was left alone. At one point one of them came with a jug of water when clearly our water glasses were still full. The message was clear, weād overstayed our welcome. And for context, my wife and I were the only people of colour there. We knew exactly what was going on.
We calmly left immediately. And honestly, it would have been easier to stomach if the food was even remotely worth itābut it wasnāt. The sake was the only thing I enjoyed. The noodles unsalted, unseasoned and bland, the broth was watery, and the whole thing was overpriced.
Iāll never step foot in this place againāand after this experience, maybe never in any Japanese restaurant. Iām not paying top dollar to be treated like garbage. Try Thai food, Its much...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI was really Impressed by the service. Everyone was so polite and very attentive to my needs. I had take- out , so they told me how many minutes my order was going to take. Giving me the option to go and come back when my order was going to be ready. Or to stay and wait. There was plenty of seats, while I waited. They even offered me a glass of water, while waiting for my food. Needless to say the food was fantastic. The only one complaint I have is the carry out bags. Although they were very cute puppy paws. But they probably do not realize that the pattern of the puppy paws are what all the Veterinarians use for people who lost their Beloved Pet and had them Cremated . The Cremation box containing people's BeLoved Pet is wrapped in that EXACT Puppy Paw Print as well as the Bag that carries out the remains. The whole time I sat there waiting for my food all I could think about is my English Bulldog ( Peach's) that I just lost. Seeing the carry out bags for their take-out. Brought me back to that Very Heart Breaking moment in my life. And I'm sure anyone else who had lost a pet and had them Cremated will also think of that very sad moment in their life. I would recommend to change your take -out bags to something else. It is just a suggestion. If you want to check it out for yourself. Call any Veterinary in town. But other than the bag issue your food was very tasty and very Delicious. And Service was Excellent everyone was very polite and very attentive in our needs.I will definitely tell all my friends . Tokyo Romen Noodles is my New Favorite...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBest Ramen I had so far. Lots of options to choose from. My favorite is the Buttered Corn and Karage Ramen. They also serve a good smoothly and a bubble tea. For the Ramen, they serve with 3 different types of soup; miso, soy, or seafood. I always go for the miso because it's the best tasting one. The soy is also good. It isn't overpowering, but the seafood need a little bit more of a kick. The miso doesn't taste like most Ramen I've tasted, where after drinking half the bowl, it'll taste heavier. It's smooth, creamy (depends on which ramen), and taste really really good. But if you're only drinking the broth of the Ramen, it's not Ramen. It's soup. This restaurant makes their own noodle in site. They serve white noodle ramen and not the yellow one, which I prefer, because I don't like the nutty taste of the yellow noddle. I can only take a few bites until my appetite fades. Bad thing about the white noodle is that they tend to get saggy. So eat up, but not too fast, still enjoy the food. They also serve other food such as curry and noodles. If you're a big eater. They serve a combo with a ramen and a curry š. The service is also amazing, they're very friendly and helpful. It's a japanese family own, so expect the greating and goodbyes when you're in there. I recommend going during the weekdays, because they get really busy on weekends. They don't take reservations on weekends, but they do...
