I found this to be a bit disappointed with the portion size of the food. I have been to alot of Ramen shops all across the globe and found this place to be stingy on the size. I ordered the spicy Ramen with cha Sui. I thought from the pictures it be fuller than what I got. I have not seen a quarter bowl of broth, one half egg, 2 pieces of very thin cha sui, small handful of noodles, very minimal veggies. The price being at 15 dollars values the portion size as a tapas Ramen than actual meal size Ramen. They should of called it a tapas Ramen bar so they should not expect regular size meal. In Japan or anywhere else that has Japanese owners they would never cheap out on the broth for one because they would want you to drink more of the broth as it takes alot of work to make it tasty. Also at least fill you up and make you leave satisfied and happy. The plate cost would likely be around 3 dollars and max at 4 dollars with the workers wage included to make it. They would be making at least 10 dollars and change. This why it is the only reason they aren't turning tables over quick enough to make the business super profitable. If they fix the portion size and fill people up they be in the conversation for a place to eat and not a place as an after thought.
The owners need to read the comments and see alot of the comments about portion size and the need for it. Great service means no repeat business if the Ramen are tapas size and the price you charge for it. I will give it another go when they rectify the portion size that reflects the...
Read moreI would give 3 stars or higher for the interior, variety of the menu, and the services. It was a cozy place, but the quality of ramen and the inconvenience, my experience was 2 out of 5 stars.
Portion of the noodles were normal, they did their ajitama(egg) very well. However, broth and toppings were kept very minimal unless you order extra toppings (which increases to price range to $20-30 per person). Broth weren’t even filled to the half of the bowl, it’s one of a method to keep the toppings above surface but causes less portion. There was this one tiny steamed broccoli with sliced baby carrots in a ramen? both overly boiled and felt like they added to make up for lack of toppings that they add in the ramen.
Unless you have a small appetite, you won’t get full from their basic order, you would have to order extra toppings, but at that point, might as well go to a different place for cheaper and better ramen that makes you full.
*Beware of extra topping like black fungus or bamboo shoot because they do not squeeze out the liquid that came with the bag from factory, so entire ramen would smell funky.
Charging same price as other ramen restaurants, the quality is very low. Maybe the don dish would be better than ramen even though ramen is in the name of the place.
**If you experience issue with your transaction, check your bank account after because there’s a chance that they charged you twice and you would have to come back to the store to get refunded. This one was just...
Read moreTL;DR: Fake Google Maps reviews
First off, I would like to point out that many of the reviews on this page are FAKE REVIEWS from bots. These generic profiles only post 5 star reviews and if you look at the locations they have 5 starred, you will find many more generic 5 star reviews from the same fake reviewers.
Real Review: The server was very sweet. Service was fantastic. Tastewise, the ramen here is a 3/5 at best. The chashu and egg are below average for ramen in Vancouver. The soup and noodles could have had more flavour and should be served at a higher temperature.
We ordered the spicy red ramen and the tonkotsu. If you power through the fake reviews and visit this location, skip everything on the menu but give the spicy red ramen a try. Unlike 99% of the spicy ramen in Vancouver which claims to be 'spicy' (real spicy lovers know what I'm talking about), this ramen is actually spicy, mostly due to the fact that they are putting gochujang into the soup. Gochujang is that same chilli paste used in all those spicy Korean dishes those k-pop hunnies eat on youtube mukbang videos. This should come as no surprise here since the restaurant is operated by Koreans.
I think that this ramen joint has potential if they add more flavour to the soup, improve their eggs and chashu and gave us more choices of Japanese ramen with that Korean twist. The spicy red ramen I ate was definitely unique and would have been delicious had they not disappointed on...
