I just do not like the Ramen here at all for a place named after Ramen. It doesn’t taste bad at all, but certainly not worth the price. Literally, everything else is fine (not excellent), except the Ramen. The broth doesn’t taste authentic. The toppings are fine, I guess. Actually the meat is pretty dang tough. Terrible quality honestly. And the noodles kind of taste sweet, which is weird. Even the appetizers and the other dishes are fine, but I’m Asian, and this Ramen is just not good. It can probably satisfy and fool non-Asian people, but not me. I don’t know what needs to be changed, but I would definitely say the broth is not rich enough and it tastes like it was already premade or bought from their supplier. It doesn’t taste like it was completely made in house. That is also why they don’t have tonkatsu Ramen because that has to be made in house. Shoyu, shio, and miso, you can use paste, salt, or sauces. You actually have to slow cook the bones to make tonkatsu.

I would really recommend not making those noodles homemade anymore because nobody seems to like them looking through the reviews. I would recommend focusing on the actual toppings and the broth.

And I understand Milwaukee has truly no authentic Ramen. There’s no Japanese people in the city but for a place named after Ramen, you would expect more, and I can think of other places in the city that don’t highlight their Ramen and have better Ramen. The Ramen here is akin to Fusion Poke. And that isn’t even a full service restaurant. There’s no wait staff or anything.

Service and atmosphere and everything else is perfect when I go in; I’m just so disappointed by the Ramen. I know that it’s so easy to buy the produce and the meat for such cheap quality for a cheaper price and slap $20 on top of it. I’ve worked in the industry before. But honestly, like it’s kind of shameful. And I know this because I’ve worked in restaurants that do the same thing specifically serving Ramen in Milwaukee.

For good Ramen, go to Kawa or Hungry Sumo. It’s not authentic either, but it is miles above this. Ever since Redlight Ramen closed down, there is no more authentic Ramen in Milwaukee.
