The broth is thick hot water with almost literally no flavor, and there's definitely no harmony. It's like the broth was made using boxed stock/broth. They say there's a 12 hour in house broth cooked daily but it isn't working well. You know how many ramens and stews taste better as the flavors settle and sink in? That doesn't happen here. The chicken karage is solid but heavy on the breading. You get more crispy skin than chicken which isn't ideal if you're hungry. Or, you know, paying for chicken. The vegetarian gyoza are fine but nothing special. The bottoms look charred but taste soft, almost like the color was painted on - I know it's not, but it still looks that way. Then there's the vegetarian ramen... It's bad. It's bad enough that I can call it the worst vegetarian ramen I've tried. Truly no flavor and it's so unremarkable that I'm struggling to describe it. It's corn, chives, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and noodles floating in hot water. You will absolutely need to add salt and spice. You'll also notice that what you receive in both size and color doesn't match the menu photos. Look at the Monthly Combo in my menu photo. Best example is that the salad I was served was 1/4 the size and also missing tomato and cucumber as shown in the photo. Save your money, skip this spot.

We ordered the chicken shoyu ramen and the chashumen. The chicken shoyu ramen had a flavourful broth that was a bit on the sweet side for me, but my partner really enjoyed. We both loved the shrimp broth in the chashumen! It's rich and creamy and has a surprisingly strong shrimp flavour. Definitely recommend! We also ordered the bubble matcha matte and strawberry oolong tea which were both refreshing. We'll definitely be coming back to try some of the rice dishes!

Visited the new Asian fusion restaurant in the city…read more They are still in their soft opening phase; however, their grand opening is this Friday, September 1st, so they will have their full menu available. We ordered the three main dishes that they currently offered. All three dishes were good, but my favourite was the signature hellomen due to the unique shrimp based broth. However, we did find it needed a bit of salt to enhance the flavours, otherwise, it would have been perfect. My second favourite was the HK style char siu stirred noodles, which had great flavour and the char siu tasted good. Would have loved for it to have more green onions though. I also really enjoyed the HK style milk tea. It tasted just as how I remembered it when I was in HK before.

Although I have fairly enjoyed the food, I think there must be some transparency especially with the matter of food safety. With this restaurant I have often enjoyed their noodles or chicken dishes but this time I wanted to try their 'Plain Cheese Cake' offered both in their in-restaurant menu and their online menu. At first glance the cheesecake looked delicious but as I looked over to the side of the crust there was MOLD. The obvious green mold spots can be seen in the images I have provided. Quite disgusted and disappointed with this situation leading me to most likely not order from this establishment again. As having been a frequent customer of this restaurant, this has made me question the sanitation and quality standards that Dwarf no Cachette puts in place.

Needless to say from other reviews, Sushi Gozen is located inside St. Vital Centre, and focuses on Japanese and Korean cuisine. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen, which I was told they recently introduced their ramen line in the restaurant. The ramen and chashu was okay, however the broth wasn't hot enough. Also for $12.25 + tax it's definitely on the steeper side of cost for ramen. Service was good, though maybe because it wasn't too busy when I went. I'll give the benefit of the doubt for this one. Winnipeg does need better Japanese restaurants though. Unfortunately this place doesn't take the cake.

Expect your appetizers to be 5 minutes before your wicked expensive sushi rolls and then don't forget, it's that kind of place where you even need to take your check up to the cashier on the way out to pay. If you want basic rolls, slow service and just to fill your belly up, go for it. Otherwise you have been warned. Save your money and hit the food court.

Nowadays they only serve cooked foods such as ramen, don, and cooked appetizers like takoyaki. Still a good place though if you're looking for Hargrave Market options. I recently had their takoyaki and their pan seared dumplings. There's not really many options for takoyaki in this city, so given that standard their takoyaki is good. Their dumplings were also good, they were flavourful and come with a dipping sauce. Given the prices compared to other places in the market it's a tad pricier, but I would say this is either the best or second best option in the market (depending on what you think about Gusto North).

I was a bit confused though as to where the drinks were on the menu, but when we went to pay for our meal we saw that the list of drinks were on a sheet of paper attached on the side of the cash registry. I ended up ordering a tuna donburi bowl, it was absolutely delicious! Tuna just melts in your mouth, and the portion is quite big as well as it got me full quickly. We also tried their crabsticks tempura, it was my first time trying it and I quite liked it! I usually don't eat tempura though because it gets very oily to eat but this one was tolerable.

My friend ended up getting their Banza Beef Noodle Soup and Langya Potato, while I got the Tofu and Rice Noodle and Iced Coffee. Absolutely love the Tofu and Rice Noodle (with spice), noodles were soft and slippery to eat, there was meat on it I think but it wasn't listed on the description and I couldn't tell if it was beef or pork. Warning, it was extremely spicy for me and I have moderate spice tolerance, but the soft tofu alleviated the spice and I was able to finish my dish.The hint of nuttiness from the walnut was a great addition to the dish and made it more interesting to eat since it had that crunch while all the other ingredients had softer and chewier texture. Would definitely recommend this place especially if you just need a quick meal!

Tip: This place serves excellent ramen. The miso broth was exquisite, with thick cuts of chashu…read more When I lived in Winnipeg, getting ramen at any eatery wasn't a thing. Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse was the most popular Japanese restaurant then. It didn't and continues to not have ramen on its menu. Sushi restaurants were starting to bud in the city back then. On my first day in Winnipeg earlier this month, I wanted to grab dinner before driving to Steinbach. Since I had never had ramen at a restaurant in Winnipeg, I did a search and found GaiJin Izakaya. I said yes and drove over to this eatery. This restaurant is located in a plaza. There was plenty of parking when I had arrived. I parked and walked in. I was immediately greeted by a woman. I asked if I could get a table. She led me to a booth. I'm glad that I beat the dinner rush, as she asked other customers after me whether they had a reservation. There was a QR code on the table. You scan it to access the menu. The drink menu was there on the table. It was also online. I got these items: - Diet Coke - Gyoza - Miso ramen (bamboo shoots held) - Black sesame ice cream I added gyoza for $5 to make my miso ramen a combo. I recommend it, as gyoza as an appetizer on its own is $14.50. My miso ramen came with miso broth that contained both pork and chicken flavours. This dish featured chashu, wakame, bamboo shoots, green onions, and a marinated egg. I asked if I could get the bamboo shoots held. Done! My Diet Coke came out first. I got a glass with ice. I appreciated that gesture. I poured my beverage into the glass, which made my drink nicely cold and refreshing on a hot summer day. My gyoza came out next. The filling was pork and it was delicious. Each gyoza was flavourful and perfectly fried. They were crispy and yummy. My bowl of miso ramen came out next. I was excited. The best move that this eatery does is to separate the roasted seaweed from the broth. Most eateries dunk the sheets of seaweed in the ramen and you end up eating soggy, flabby seaweed sheets. I appreciated this detail. I had a bit of roasted seaweed left and put it off to the side on a plate so it wouldn't get soggy. My server was super effective clearing items off my table. She was about to clear my plate with the seaweed on it. I asked her to hold off, so I could grab my seaweed. I can't let that go to waste. I loved it. I was also paying for good roasted seaweed. The miso ramen here is exceptional. You can tell if the broth doesn't excite me if I don't consume the entire thing. I did here. The combination of pork and chicken broth with miso was tasty and brilliant. It was wonderful. I'm drooling. The ramen was bouncy and had the perfect chew. The slices of chashu were thick and tender. It had good flavour and I enjoyed the balance between the fat and the protein. I normally get corn, but completely forgot to order some. Oops! I was content with the green onions, wakame, and jammy, marinated egg. They pulled everything together to make this miso ramen so special and comforting. I was ready for dessert. I asked what ice cream flavours were available. There was matcha and black sesame. I chose the latter. I don't have black sesame ice cream often. It was so creamy and had a delightful nutty flavour to it. It was the perfect ending to this meal. My server was attentive. She got me the bill. I let her know that everything was fabulous. She was delighted. I paid with a credit card and tipped. I tapped and I was done. I used the washroom before I made the brief trip eastbound to Steinbach. It was clean. No complaints. I got melon candy as a parting gift. I loved it. It's always a favourite of mine. This eatery is a gem for delicious, authentic ramen and gyoza. Come here! This place also offers sushi rolls, baos, and more. I'd love to return and try other items on the menu. However, I feel that I'll be back for more ramen. Priorities! (250)
