Issyokemen (Mong Kok) — Restaurant in Kowloon

I’d heard good things about this place and I was excited to try it out.

I ordered the cheapest pork ramen, added $15 for two extra char siu. The fat part of the char siu was very soft but meat park was surprisingly tough and not barbecued enough. Not tasty. The broth was also not as good as I expected. It just tasted salty, I couldn’t taste the essences of the porks or ingredients. The fried chicken was what you would expect, some were more tender and some were not, it’s just that the coating was too thick imo. The veggie ramen has lots of vegetables but the soft boiled egg was missing which was a bit of a bummer.

All in all, I found the food not very tasty , and I felt quite disappointed because some many people left good ratings. It’s a very popular place, many people were already queueing up on a Friday evening before 7pm. But I just don’t feel like coming back again, not the best ramen...

These dishes are a treat! The Oyster Dipping Noodles come with a rich, thick sauce made from Hiroshima oysters, perfect for coating the chewy noodles. The oysters are charcoal-grilled until creamy and paired with tender char siu and chicken slices. Then there’s the Chicken White Broth Ramen, a crowd favorite. The broth is packed with flavor from slow-cooked chicken bones, and the noodles absorb it beautifully. Toppings like corn, asparagus, char siu, soft chicken breast, and a runny yolk egg make it extra comforting. Don’t miss the Karaage Fried Chicken—crispy outside, juicy inside, and a splash of lemon takes it to the next level. All these dishes are flavorful, comforting, and...
