ITSHOW Tendon & Ramen — Restaurant in Palisades Park

Update: Tried the signature ramen today and it was a let down. The broth didn’t have that deep flavor you expected from Japanese ramen. The pork rib is heavy marinated and overly sweet, so much so that it leaves the broth more sweet than savory. The noodles were prepared well tho, firm and springy. This seems like the place I might stop by out of convince but it’s not we’re I would run to if I’m craving tempura or ramen.

New spot in the neighborhood specializing in tendon and ramen. I'm very happy to have some more diverse food offers on the area. You enter on the door to the left of Don Chicken and proceed alway to the end of the hallway by the stairs and it's on the left. The staff is friendly and their ambiance is very inviting. They have a combination of bar and table seating. I opted for takeout. Their signature bowl was a little disappointing. The fish piece was extremely small (about the side of a SD card) and dry. The egg was more like a hard boiled yok that was deep fried, not soft boiled at all. I liked that way they packaged the tempura separately from the rice though, it allowed the fried piece to remain nice and crispy. But when compared to Hannosuke in the Mitsuwa marketplace, this was left down. I have yet to try their ramen and kushisatsu (so I'll reserve my judgement on those) but I hope to stop by...

We were so excited to try this place, but when we got there it wasn't like we were expected.

Foods was Not Bad [but for that quality the price is a bit too much] My Seaweed Tempura was SOGGY and CHEWY, the chef didn't make fresh for the Seaweed Tempura, coz' you can see it right there in the kitchen when you're sitting at the bar the seaweed tempura was there already.

The portion tricks you with the plate behind the tempura [Yes, There Was A Plate inside your Tempura Bowl Don] and the rice maybe like 10% from the bowl volume They don't really give you sauce for the Tempura Don

Mentaiko Creamy Pasta was kinda blend and nothing in it, it literally just Creamy noodle, garlic chip and mentaiko 👀 🤦‍♂️

Ribs buns was blend, no taste and came only 1pc

Shabu shabu beef salad was OK, nothing special with bunch of white cabbages

Tried the Ramen on Tue Jan 4th 2022 We ordered Level 3 for spiciness and it was way too spicy for me, I can tasted the chili powder. The Spiciness Ruined the Ramen flavor

I ordered Ginger Tea but didn't taste ginger at all, more like herbs tea 🤔

Service was OK, no one really greets you when you're sitting at the bar not even the chef 🙄

Overall was Not Bad, but could be better We'll be back once in awhile...

This place became one of my favorite restaurants! Me and my friends went to itshow for the first time and we all LOVED EVERY SINGLE DISH we ordered. First off, they give you a complimentary bottled spring water as soon as you get seated. I ordered the yuzu picked tomato to start and it was SO GOOD! I didn’t really know what to expect when i ordered this but it was just so tasty and refreshing. I would come back just for this!! The shrimp tendon was so crispy and fresh, maze men and tonkotsu ramen were just great as well. You get to choose the spiciness and firmness of your ramen noodle, i chose medium for spiciness of the broth and medium for noodle. I loved their ramen. The owner came to our table and explained how to eat tendon properly and everything!! He is really nice! We were able to do BYOB, idk how long they are doing this, bought some liquors from the liquor shop down the block. They also serve you the glasses and no charge for BYOB. I didn’t get to take a picture of their restroom, I wish I did, it was so clean and...
