Miyagi Ramen Bar — Restaurant in Rehoboth Beach

4/5 stars only because of one minor issue in the experience. Food was great, and that is coming from someone who doesn't really try anything super different & my only experience with ramen is the kind you get from the store for less than $1. Me and my boyfriend arrived around 5:15pm on Saturday night. We originally planned for TGIFridays but decided for something different. Which I'm glad we did. I ordered the Shio Ramen (chicken) and my boyfriend got the Black Garlic Tonkotsu which had pork. There's an assortment of things in the bowl, it's not just noodles. It looks... interesting. I suggest just going for it!

Okay, and for the missing one star: when we walked in all the people working were standing around and I felt watched as we were seated. Speaking of seats, we sat at a booth which was just hard wood, no cushion of any sort. I was hunched over the whole time because the back of the seat was far back. The decor/style of the place was cool otherwise. The biggest thing was... Besides us there was, I believe, just one other table. I'm not sure if it gets busier later in the evening or at all, but there were about 10 people working that I saw. 2 waiters, a hostess, and what looked to be a bunch of cooks/chefs whatever you may call them (sorry for my lack of knowledge on the preferred terms). In my opinion, there were way too many employees working at this time. They were mostly standing around, talking. & Honestly every time we looked up, we were being stared at. So while the food was good, we felt like we were being closely watched the entire time we were there and it made is pretty uncomfortable. Of course, I was able to laugh it off, but that is the big reason I didn't give a perfect rating. I want to relax when I go out to eat, but I didn't feel like I could because I felt like I was being observed, stared at and watched closely. This wasn't just a feeling or paranoia. We both noticed it. One of the cooks was even peeping through the kitchen door's small little window at me for a good few minutes. I just think there were way too many people working at the time with nothing to do. Otherwise, the whole...

The main point of my review is in regards to 2 different experiences I had at this restaurant. The first time, I ordered the vegetable gyoza. I am a vegetarian. They gave me the pork gyoza, and when I tried it and thought it tasted like pork, I told the server. He told me with much conviction that he was 100% sure that it was vegetable gyoza. I wasn't so sure, but I ended up just giving the dish to another omnivore person eating dinner with me. The server made me doubt what I was tasting. But the insides of the gyoza was an entirely beige color, with no distinguishable vegetables. It was a bad experience, but this was like 2 months ago at this point, and I wasn't disturbed to the point where I would write a review. Very recently, however, I returned with a friend. The friend this time also ordered the vegetable gyoza. To my surprise, the insides were entirely green, with distinguishable vegetables. This confirmed my belief that I was indeed served pork dumplings last time. This really disturbed me, as instead of just simply remaking the dish for me, the server felt the need to just convince me what I was eating was something entirely different. This is very disrespectful to a customer with certain dietary restrictions.

I also had the matcha boba tea from them last year, and I can whole heartedly say that it was the worst boba tea I'd ever had. I have had, and made, boba tea many many times, and I am a regular enjoyer of matcha tea/lattes. The liquid I received was chalky and extremely bitter, and afterwards coated my mouth with an almost mechanical taste. The tapioca pearls were unfortunately hard and crunchy (😭😭😭). Any squishiness they had was entirely superficial, and as soon as you began to chew on it, it offered a ton of resistance. It seems the tapioca pearls were not cooked right. I'd like to think it was just a one-off bad experience, but honestly it was so bad that I haven't been able to force myself to try it again, as it was also very expensive. The prices in general are pretty expensive for what you...

Food was disgusting and the staff like to laugh and insult you. Never coming here again. EDIT AFTER GETTING THE OWNERS REPLY: It is not a lie. I was leaving with my family and the gentleman who referred to himself as a chef plus a young lady that was sitting at the hostess station. As I pulled the door open my husband said "hey babe you have to push the door" The "Chef" gentleman and the young lady laughed at me and the gentleman said "at least someone knows how to read." My husband went back into the restaurant seeing how the gentleman's comment has upset me as I was crying from embarrassment and my husband went in asking for the gentleman to apologize and he refused because he thought it was funny. My husband replied that we would no longer be doing business here and that we will make people aware about how the staff mistreated me. The gentleman shrugged as if he did not care and laughed. I'm not spreading lies. This actually happened. We were there a lil after 7pm. Our table was infront of the kitchen. I'm the only female at the table and I was wearing a purple tank top with my 3 year old to my right. Watch the camera as we leave and then my husband walking back in. How dare you now be disrespectful and call me a liar! I will be sharing this and reporting this. A SIMPLE APOLOGY WOULD OF SUFFICED BUT NOW TWO PEOPLE INSULT ME TODAY!!!
