TL;DR: Delicious ramen at newly opened (summer of 2024) place in Westboro.
I've had Koichi Ramen Westboro twice now.
The first time, I was surfing UberEats for deals, as I often do, and saw that Koichi Ramen Westboro was having a BOGO offer, $20.90 for 2 bowls of their Signature Ramen. So that's what I got for my husband and I for dinner. I ordered and picked up.
It was ready in about 10-15 minutes. Pick up was quick and staff were courteous
The ramen was fantastic! You get to choose your protein and I was thrilled that chicken breast was an option because I don't like pork belly, which is the usual meat in ramen. The ramen also came with bamboo, black fungus, bean sprouts, nori and green onions.
The ramen was springy and chewy. They were generous with the sliced chicken breast. And the broth was so rich and flavourful. You get to choose the spice level and I got medium, which was perfect. It had a bit of a spicy kick, but not overwhelmingly hot.
Be warned that there are sesame seeds in the broth, but luckily for me for takeout they separate the broth and all the sesame seeds settled at the bottom so I was able to just scoop the broth from the top so I avoided the sesame seeds.
I definitely recommend the Signature Ramen!
There's plenty of seating in the restaurant and the decor is simple but nice.
A week later, I went back for round 2, lol. This time I tried the Vegetarian Curry Ramen, with chicken breast as my protein. It was also BOGO on UberEats and was a bit less than the Signature Ramen at $19.75. This ramen came with Bok Choy, corn, mushrooms, bean sprouts, a sheet of Nori and some green onions. I got it the same medium spice, but it tasted significantly hotter, lol. This Ramen was also delicious and I still have a hard time deciding which one I enjoyed more. I loved them both!
So I also recommend the Curry Ramen! And since the broth is vegetarian, if you get tofu as your protein, the whole bowl can be vegetarian.
