I've passed by it before, but this is the first time I've tasted it. And it's not far from the restaurant where I used to work. Overall, the food is delicious, and the waiter is also very friendly. There is a thoughtful storage basket, and you can add noodles for internal use, but I am not sure whether there is an additional charge.
This place has the best noodles ever!!! The broth is amazing - a creamy white from the long, slow simmering prep of the chicken. Usually I have found noodle broth to be, well, broth. Clear and salty. This broth was elegantly velvety and had very little salt. The noodles could be cooked “normal” or very cooked or al-dente. I chose the latter and was not disappointed. I added vegetables and extra pork (both optional, with a very small added small cost). And they did not skimp on the portion of noodles. T found the service to be very attentive with no effort to rush us out. However, it was 2:00PM and the place was 50% full. Overall an amazing meal. Again, this place has the best noodles ever!!!
Very good ramen and a great alternative if you don't want to queue for a seat at Ramen Danbo (actually we think that the ramen is better here). It's a no frills establishment with great service. Their Original Ramen with creamy chicken broth is packed with goodness and flavour, and one of our favourite dishes.
Absolutely delicious food, efficient and polite service, busy but not rushed. 3 different ramens all generous and filling as the best ramens are. One of us wasn’t sure how spicy to go and the staff suggested they provide the hot sauce on the side to add to taste- great service. I wanted to go again bet we ran out of time on our trip.
