GOKANA Ramen & Teppan - Trans Studio Mall Bali — Restaurant in Denpasar Barat

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a local ramen restaurant that left a lasting impression on my taste buds. With its cozy atmosphere and mouthwatering dishes, I found myself captivated by the flavors and overall dining experience. While there were a few areas where improvements could be made, I am delighted to give this ramen joint a solid four stars out of five.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance. The decor was simple yet stylish, contributing to a comfortable and relaxed dining environment. The attentive staff welcomed me with a smile and promptly seated me, enhancing the overall positive first impression.

Now, let's get to the highlight of the experience—the ramen itself. The menu boasted an impressive variety of traditional and fusion flavors, catering to both adventurous eaters and those seeking classic ramen options. I opted for the Tonkotsu ramen, and boy, was it a delight! The rich and creamy broth was packed with umami flavors, and the noodles had the perfect texture—firm and chewy. The toppings were fresh and thoughtfully chosen, adding depth to the dish. It was a bowl of comfort that left me...

Gokana is nice. They have a free "Welcome Snack" (chips). They're yelling "irasshaimase" means "Welcome" in Japanese. It's unique. Place isn't as big as other food corner.

Super Xtra Hot Ramen Beef Food Score: 7 out of 10 Price Score: 9 out of 10 (IDR 32K + tax) The highest level for spicy level but it didn't taste spicy at all. Maybe there's a reason behind it (Like don't wanna make someone collapse when eating too spicy). The ramen's soup taste great, but not really that Japanese authentic taste. And I think the noodle's kinda overcooked. Bowl's big, kinda empty for the toppings.

TL, DR What's good: It's a ramen. Taste good. Big bowl. What's bad: For a spicy ramen title it's not spicy at all. Not Japanese authentic taste of ramen.

Gokana package 4 Food Score: 9 out of 10 Price Score: 8 out of 10 (IDR 36K + tax) Good portion for a hungry tummy. Taste good as expected. Comes with a Cabbage Salad but taste a bit weird, I didn't eat that one.

TL, DR What's good: It's a food with Cabbage Salad and Rice. Taste good. Worth it. What's bad: Cabbage Salad...

The worst gokana ramen is in Trans Studio Mall. Bad service, bad product and bad attitude. I order ramen and ocha, after 30 minutes still haven't served even only few customer eating there. When I ask the waiter, no apologize, no smile and no conversation (saya juga orang Indonesia dan pasti paham kalau mereka ngomong). After I complained, it still wait until 10 minutes again. And the ramen served already cold and loss the taste. Once again this place is the worst gokana ramen. Saya tipe yang jarang komplain kecuali jika kebangetan seperti sekarang. Bali...
