Interesting but ... Taste experience: 2 Quality: 4 Interior: 3 Atmosphere: 2 Price: 3 Staff:
Chose ramen for lunch, the vegetarian option. Despite an appealing bowl arrange, I was really disappointed with how the taste experience turned out. Very monotonous and uninteresting taste. Did I choose the wrong ramen? To be revealed!
The decor is inspired by Japanese restaurant culture, but when it all come together, it is unfortunately too bare and harsh. Although I can be impressed by the will and the attempt, I still think it feels a bit "form at the expense of comfort".

I think it is daring of the owners to bet on niche food. 👏🏼👊🏼 I will visit Ai Ramen one more time to try the Donburi...

Appreciate the sizable 20% cheaper price here since it’s newly opened! But for now I’ll keep going to the...
Read morePersonally I would recommend a i ramen kita for a various number of reasons. Firstly the beautiful yellow menu intrigues with it's simplicity with only 7 choices. Makes it so simple for someone to choose. Secondly the amazing sous vide 63 degree egg and pork so tender it melts right off the fat. Also came with nice decorative elements as the Naruto as i learned in the center of my dish. Absolutely stunning.
The toilet on the other hand can be described with a quote from one of my friends....
