We were driving back home after a hike and decided on a whim to check out Wakayama for our weekly…read moretake-out treat. I ordered the spicy red tonkatsu and my boyfriend got the miso tonkatsu ramen. We called in our order and were told it would be ready in 10 mins. When we picked up the containers, we were told to keep them upright to avoid spilling. When we got back home we heated up the soup and poured it over the noodles, excited to take a bite. The broth was good but not great, with a simple tonkatsu flavour profile, similar to a Chinese style noodle soup broth.The noodles were thick wavy and unfortunately rather clumpy. My boyfriend said the black fungus in his soup tasted stale. I enjoyed my soup and toppings but wished there was more besides charsiu and scallions. The egg was excellent! I should mention that we've been to Japan several times so are used to a certain level of quality when it comes to ramen. While Wakayama was decent, sadly we don't think we'll be back for another visit. Parking is easily found on the lot just outside.

It's been awhile since our last visit to Jacob's Noodle & Cutlet. They do Japanese and Korean…read moredishes, but specialize in katsu. Busy on a Monday (lunchtime) but we were seated quickly. There's a couple of lunch specials (11:00am to 3:00pm). Nice that they bring out sesame seeds for you to grind. We ordered four lunch specials ($17.00 each) and a salmon oshi ($16.50). Lunch specials come with miso soup, salad, tempura and rice. Chicken cutlet was better than the pork. Grilled beef was better than the chicken. Spring rolls were run of the mill. Tempura was lightly fried and filling. Green salad was refreshing. Salmon oshi was okay but packed with too much rice.

Great food! Consistently fresh and hot and filling. Good handle on the subtle Japanese flavours…read more Can get crowded when busy.

Oya Rocks is probably one of the best rolls I have ever had. It is a must eat, and Oya is a must visit for this roll alone. The service - friendliness - has improved greatly as more sushi places have opened up in Kamloops. This was the one area Oya was lacking in before, and I am glad to say it has changed.

Food Presentation and service were good, but the ramen was so so. The noodles were soft and soggy. They taste and the texture were identical to frozen microwave noodles quality that you get from Asian supermarkets. The soup base was on the bland side. Not the best or above average ramen I have had.

Very small place. Only one table with seating for 6, otherwise a bunch of bench seats…read more Great broth. The tiger ramen broth is a combo of pork, chicken, and fish stock. Great flavour, it's on the lighter side which is fine. The ramen is chewy, pork chashu is tender and a bit fatty which I like. Great place to stop by for your ramen fix on your travels.

I got the Throwback burger n fries. He has the salt n pepper chicken wings. He was very impressed with how crispy, yet juicy they were. Burger was okay. Tasty, a bit small for the price, yet I was still full after so it's for the best. Fries were a crispier version of McDonald's fries...came with a ketchup hybrid...a bit spicy. Was good! I finished with another beer, Hop Smuggler.

Love the inside of the restaurant, with seatings for singles to larger group; bar (height) seating to table seating...we parked ourselves right at the front so we could "people watch". Our server was polite and attentive w/o being over bearing...didn't realize she spoke Japanese until we were leaving...would have totally practiced my Japanese. The broth was full of flavour, the bowl had 3 pcs each of shrimp tempura, gyoza and char siu, 1 medium boiled egg, corn, bamboo shoot. Should have ordered extra noodle as my lunch mate devoured her portion. We will be back to try other dishes.

So, this place is like a bar and bistro with a full menu. We came to eat and was one of the first…read moreones but by 7 there were many more people. Not loud or rowdy at all, and felt more like a restaurant than a bar honestly. I'm writing this review because it's spring and this ski resort is mostly empty, and a ski resort in the middle of the Okanagan is not where I would have expected to find a ramen menu in a bar-bistro. Yet they reassured me the chefs were trained properly. So I decided to be brave and give this place a chance. I was pretty glad I was open minded. Myself and 2 of my kids had ramen. One had chicken broth which was not bad. Mine was a miso and mushroom garlic / "black oil" broth. I added egg and roasted pork belly. My summary is - I'm satisfied with this ramen. It's pretty good considering where it is. It's not the same as Vancouver ramen but it's still good in its own right and I would have it again. Pork belly - this was EXCELLENT. Crispy and full of flavour. Wow. Egg - decent ramen - thick, it was ok. Doesn't stand out but good enough. Broth - it's thick. It's not miso. It's not tonkatsu either. It's kinda like curry but not spicy. I mean curry like in consistency. However it's interesting enough. Stuff - bamboo. Green onions, though cut kinda funny. Anyways, give this place a chance. The burger according to my burger fan daughter was really good, and my wife's winter vegetable torte was really good too.

We sat for 20 minutes with no service . Keep in mind the place was nearly empty . There were only 3 other tables with people . There were 4 servers just walking around and socializing at the bar . We got tired of waiting at the table so I went to the bar where the service was equally poor service . I ordered 2 salads and instead they brought 2 drinks even after he repeated our order . The wait staff seemed more into themselves and socializing with one another over serving customers . Once they do take your order they go right back to ignoring you . Took 4 times asking to actually get water. I don't often write reviews , I hope they improve their service because the food is worth it . We don't care about the low cut shirts and hiked up skirts on the waitresses , just provide good service please
