I really wanted to like this but I ended up being pretty disappointed. As of right now the nearest ramen place to me is over an hour away and this is a little under an hour. Im always trying new ramen places.
Here I tried their vegetable ramen which had fried tofu, bamboo shoots, pickled ginger, and pickled mushroom. The noodles and vegetables were cooked well but over all it was very bland and the ginger overpowered the dish. I did ask if they had any chili oil or something similar and things got really awkward. At first the woman running the front went to ask the two males cooking and they said they couldn't give it to me. I then asked if it was something i had to pay for and they weren't sure. They mentioned that there were two owners with conflicting opinions. I personally have never been to a ramen place that didn't have some kind of extra spice they either gave you or had available for a small price ( usually .50 or something) theres no option for spice level on the menu and it just seems like a bad buissness pratice and creates an awkward situation for the customer. For what you get the price is average ramen price.
I also got the takoyaki which i was surprised to get only 4 of. For almost $9 i expected 6 which is usually what comes in an order. I looked back at the menu and the amount wasn't specified. On average i usually see then proced from 7 to 8.50 an order and this includes areas with a higher cost of living. They were good but I would definitely pass on this.
Last I had a boba slush which was good. It wasn't too sweet and had the right amount of flavorin it. The boba teas were average boba tea price. They also have a solid...
Read moreI am an Asian man so I will have a little bit more strict criticism regarding Ramen, that I love so much. I purchased the black garlic, Ramen and the broth was OK, and all the other ingredients seem to be on par but the noodles were not the typical Ramen noodles that you would expect. Moreover, these noodles were very sturdy, and had a consistency that did not belong in Ramen, imho. I shared my observation with the owner, but he had no response, so not sure if he learned from it or if he even cares. Again, this place gets high ratings so as far as the locals are concerned, it’s great and probably the reason is they don’t know better or haven’t tried anything else or those noodles are to their liking. However, if you have experienced the Asian culture overseas, or even on the West Coast, you will know what good Ramen is and when compared to this…it’s just lacking. With udon noodles it will probably be better. I will try it...
Read moreThe first time I went I got the fried chicken ramen and it was half decent at best... the chicken seemed like frozen chicken pieces just tossed in, not very crisp much prefer Mr Lees in Easton. This time I got the tempura shrimp ramen to go and idk if it's because it was to go, but the noodles were still pretty hard even when I let them soak in the hot broth. The tempura was fine, could have been crispier. The broth is okay. Overall not a favorite but not bad. That being said... their mango green tea is incredible. I got it with mango boba and it's so good I could drink it everyday. My friend got the frozen one with strawberry boba which was equally good. I will be back for the drinks, but likely not the ramen. But no worries this is in the farmers market so plenty of...
