Menbow Ramen Bar — Restaurant in Victoria

I'm going to be frank here. For a mall location, this place is better than their flagship location downtown. Food wait was roughly 12 minutes, the chashu pork is as good as the former years at their main location and their egg for sure is done way better than their main location.

I tried their Menbow special with the added combo instead of my usual favorite shoyu tonkatsu. The broth is a bit on the rich side that I kinda wish I could request for a kaedama which they don't offer but some of their competitors in town and the mainland do. That's okay, I pretty much drown my rice bowl with the leftover broth.

They better fix their flagship location or else I'll be sticking...

I am regular customer who visit Menbow Ramen at least once in a week. I really love their food . I am really disappointed on my last visit to this location. I was there around 7.45pm, i saw that they already closed the kiosk. But i just enquired to one of the employee and they said its open though the mall close at 9pm. The employee never mentioned they are only doing take out while they took my order. When i received my order, i just got shocked because they made it as take out order. I felt like so disappointed because i was really enjoy it as a dine in and if its a take out i should not have ordered in the first place. I felt bad and i really think employees need...

This is my third and last time coming here. I first came when they had just opened, and it was pretty disappointing. I decided to wait a while before coming back, but it hasn't changed.

Broth recipe is whack, either that or the staff just ain't getting it right. Super salty and grainy, almost like they're just using some powdered broth mix. I don't know if that's the case, but that's the impression I'm left with. Pork is tough, noodles are meh.

If you're new to Ramen, I suppose it's passable, but honestly people are wayyy better off going to Arashi ramen. Tastier, better atmosphere, nicer staff, and you don't have to hear babies crying...
