#40. Kimchi & Spicy Pork Noodle #57. Spicy Rice Cake with Ramen - The image shows two white plates of Korean cuisine on black trays, set on a wooden outdoor table. The top plate contains spicy ramen with instant noodles, rice cakes, and vegetables in a red broth. The bottom plate features stir-fried noodles with vegetables and sauce. Chopsticks and napkins are placed beside each plate, and part of a person's arm and clothing are visible on the right side.

Food was alright, I am personally not the biggest fan of this flavor profile as it gets tiring quickly but to each their own!! I was able to finish the kimchi pork noodle in 1 sitting, for the lunch special price I think it was worth it. I would not return for a meal but I understand the appeal in these dishes.. for me it's more like a filling and indulgent late night snack-meal. Unfortunately I think you need to eat somewhat quickly because it got cold fast.. and much less enjoyable

Kimchi Fried Rice with Beef ($9.17)

Despite its name, it actually sells Korean food with a very extensive menu too. I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice with Beef ($9.17) which is a little pricy but delicious. They include an over-easy egg so you can mix the raw egg yolk with the rice. The kimchi flavor is extremely prevalent throughout the entire dish with just the right amount of spice and pickled flavor. It is located near the back of the "Asian ghetto" also it is cash only unless you pay the fee for credit card.

#36. Champong Gooksoo

I always come here after class since it's a close go-to spot (close to campus) for decently priced instant ramen/udon with adjustable toppings. Lots of choices, food is satsifying/good if your expectations aren't overreaching...decently to slightly overpriced costs for each of the menu items. Food: Champong gooksoo (udon) and shrimp ramen are both OK in terms of taste- not at restaurant level. Udon is hand-made but toppings are scarce. Located in Asian Ghetto and is a small shop with minimal indoor and available outdoor dining.

A red bowl holds a dark, thick sauce with pieces of meat and vegetables, possibly onions and green onions, in a savory Asian dish. The dish appears to be a stir-fry or braised preparation, garnished with sesame seeds. Two chopsticks are inserted into the bowl, and the bowl is placed on a white napkin on a dark surface.

Was really hungry and decided to order the black bean rice cake. Taste I'd rate as 3.5 of 5 stars. portion was tiny. Maybe like 12 pieces of rice cake the rest sauce and a few pieces of meat. No side dish. 14 bucks and I'm still hungry. Next time I'll pass on this.

Tucked in a mini square on Durant by Telegraph is this restaurant. By it are other eateries like a place for boba, Thai, a place for pho, Chinese food, a donut shop, and more. My best friend and I chose Ramen and this place was thankfully not one of those shops that are closed Monday and Tuesday, and open only on the evenings. Anyways, Bear Ramen House has a fairly sizable menu. There's about ten different Ramen dishes, some rice plates, and more. We decided to go with the Bulgogi Ramen dish. The cost ended up being around $18. Cash only! Luckily my friend had cash or else I would had to run by the bank. Anyways, they got complimentary water and cute little cups to go with it. Since it was a nice day, we didn't seat in the restaurant itself. Only about ten seats anyways inside the small area so we went outside to sit on one of the tables. They use big bowls for the ramen, but the portion of it is half of the bowl. I finished my food fairly quickly and didn't feel full. I don't know if it's because the portion given was small or if noodles in general don't fill me up. The noodles were okay. They looked more like the noodles from the packages (which I don't mind). The broth was hot but had a certain sweetness to it. Not bad overall, but not the best Ramen dish I've had. I think there are better Ramen places, but this did it's work of giving me nourishment and sort of satisfying my ramen craving. 3/5

We came back here for lunch on Sunday afternoon. This time the chef was Algerian. We were a little worried about how the food would taste, but he is an excellent cook. He was fast efficient and friendly. Keep in mind that this restaurant only accepts cash, but it is well worth it. Street parking in the area is normally limited, but is free and readily available on a Sunday.

Great service, bad food. Legit, the noodles I got were gross and I couldn't finish them. The location has awkward inside seating as well.

Food is fine but the guy behind the grill is so slow. Truly moves as a glacial pace. Don't expect food to come out on time.

We entered a few minutes before peak dinner times, so there were seats to choose and sit from. By the time we left, mostly all the seats were filled up, so I would suggest coming in early. I liked the naming for each of the ramen dishes, some I recognized the names from Hawai'i. For this round, we ordered 3 different types of ramen: the Kuni, Broke da Mouth, and the Miso Hungry. These orders also came around the same time. A notable elements I liked about the ramen was that the noodles were chewy and springy, and the broth was smooth and easy to drink. I also didn't have the urge to drink lots of water either, so the seasoning was perfect. The other element was that I got to enjoy the ramen's broth and noodles as the stars of the dish, and the proteins, like the pork were supporting roles. For me, what I enjoy ramen are the broth and noodles, so I'm happy that these are prominent in the dish, rather than me having other chow down a thick slab of pork. This restaurant hit the right marks for what a delicious ramen is for me, so I'll come back, and maybe try their other broths.

Pacifica Roll (10/5 stars) - the best thing we ate, perfect creation of flavors that don't overwhelm each other, it's perfectly savory Poke Salad (5/5) - does it tastes like fish? No. But it's a great combination of textures, you have the chewy king oyster mushrooms and soft fried tofu, the crunch of the veggies and the cashew dressing is addicting Da Bao (5/5) - I didn't like the vegan spam alone (I personally like this other brand more) but here they paired it well with veggies and plum wine sauce that makes it work. The vegan spam here is too smokey for my tastes but together it's good. Roasted Garlic Miso Ramen (2/5) - Honestly, it was the only not good thing we had. The broth was neither garlicky or miso-y. It was very mushroomy. It was all one could taste. The spam did not fit with the ramen and was very jarring to taste in the ramen. Yuzu Matcha (5/5) - It's sour but not too sour. Like it wakes you up witout making your face pucker. Absolutely cannot wait to come back!

From a gluten-free standpoint, this was disappointing…read more My daughter loves this place. I have never been there because I can't eat gluten and assumed that like most other Ramen places, I couldn't eat there. But my daughter went to lunch with her friends and came home super excited to tell me that they have gluten-free options. so we made a plan and went there. We were about to sit down when I ask the server what the gluten-free options were and she told me that there were no gluten-free options. it turns out that they have gluten-free noodles listed on the menu (which is why my daughter thought they had gluten-free options) but None of their broths are gluten free. The server was really apologetic about the discrepancy. So we ended up going to another restaurant nearby and I didn't get a chance to eat there. My review is only on the gluten-free aspect. I hear good things otherwise.

We waited for about 30 min and the restaurant texted us once the table was ready.

We also ordered the oden set, sasami, tori tataki, gyu-tan, enoki bacon, and buta bara. Evertyhing tasted pretty good, but the most impressive dish was sasami with umeboshi, which was inner bresat with umehad was the inner breast with umeboshi. It was my first time trying raw chicken, and it tasted really good. The chicken breast was really tender, with a tuna-like texture, and without any slimy or odd flavors. Ever since then, I've been telling my friends to try it. The Tori Tataki was seared chicken breast sashimi with ponzu, which tasted a bit plain compared to the sasami. So I would highly recommended to get theeir sasami!
