Doki Doki Alberni — Restaurant in Port Alberni

This restaurant serves mostly Japanese cuisine (although not authentic) as well as Pho at the same time. Owned by a nice korean family.

The ramen were frozen ramen packets you can buy at the grocery stores and the soup was definitely not pork bone soup simmered for hours. They did try to make some fusion taste and it was ok but because of the lack of work needed to make this, it should not be priced similar to real ramen.

I am a ramen addict. I have eaten the spicy tonkotsu ramen 5 times in 2 months. In fact, I think I'll have some more after I finish writing this review!

The ramen is very generous in both ingredients and size. Reasonable prices too. If you haven't already tried this place, hurry!...
