The noodles were chewy, the dipping broth was delicious(a bit salty to taste but it meant to balance out the bland noodle). The service was fast and can be a place for large gatherings.

After a long hiatus from Okiboru, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by for ramen for lunch. We…read morestarted with the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer--my favorite item on the menu--and they were just as great as I remembered. Definitely did not disappoint! For my entree, I ordered the tonkotsu ramen. Unfortunately, it was a bit lackluster. I'm not sure I'd return specifically for the ramen. My boyfriend ordered the truffle shoyu ramen and also found it to be underwhelming. The ambiance has also changed since my last visit. They've replaced the middle bar area with more tables and painted over the previously drawn-on walls. The space feels noticeably darker now and lacks some of the character it once had. That said, the service was great. Our server, JJ, was attentive, friendly and took good care of us.

The noodles to my surprise had a nice chew. I'm not sure if these were freshly made noodles, but it had that chew consistency. The only thing I wish they had more of was the chicken. There was a healthy amount but not abundant. Though the hubs did point out that there wasn't a lot of toppings, I beg to differ. The corn, bamboo, and other tidbits of stuff were enough for me. He only thought there could have been more of each serving. Even half of the egg seemed rather reasonable with the egg prices skyrocketing nowadays. Though Kumai Ramen is in the food court of Jusgo Supermarket, the quality wasn't lacking.

The gyoza was delicate and flavorful, and it held together nicely. The soup was quite savory. At first I thought there might not have been enough sliced pork in there but by the time I reached the end of my meal I was very satisfied with the portion. I also like how the carryout bag included everything I needed: sauce for the gyoza, salad dressing, a napkin and flatware. I went out of my way to come here and I'm happy I did.

This particular location can probably only handle around maybe 2 large groups at once, so we had to…read morewait about 30 minutes for a table. I wouldn't say you need a reservation on a normal occasion, and the people here are pretty nice. We specifically only came for their Demon Slayer collab spoons, and thankfully, they had some! We didn't realize until we were there that you MUST order the Tokyo Yatai Classic to receive a blind spoon though. We weren't interested in the promo ramen, but we ordered it anyway. And as expected, it was alright. We ate it, but it wasn't anything to write home about. It's only getting a Yelp review bc I liked their apps. The appetizers I've had were much better than the ramen, even outside of this one instance with their promotional ramen. If I wanted ramen, it wouldn't be here, but for a quick bite or many small plates... maybe. The eggplant and brussels sprouts were probably my favorite of what I had, and it's all due to the miso soy marinade. It masked some bitterness with sweetness. If I were to come again, it'll have to be during happy hour. That's the only time I feel it's worth coming for.

When I opened the omurice, the rich egg and cheese aroma covered the entire dish, and every spoonful of rice was full of flavor. The sweet and tangy fried chicken skewers were also delicious. I also tried their mandu (beef dumplings) -- juicy and full of savory flavor. The second time, I ordered the Alfredo pasta, which had a strong creamy aroma and an addictive white sauce flavor. The only downside was the portion -- it was a bit small and disappeared too quickly!

The K-Fried Chicken Omelette was yummy, but only because of the sushi rice and lines of sauce on…read moretop. Yes, the fried chicken on the skewer is also pretty good, but you only get 4 pieces. Surprisingly, craving this got me to come back a second time. The Fire Chicken Omelette Ramen had the same presentation, but Buddok ramen instead of sushi rice. Disappointing, because I could have just made Buddok ramen at home. The Schewan noodles were not spicy nor tasty. Takoyaki was good, on a bed of potato fries. Would order again. For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

So, I can only vouch for my experience eating Japanese food to state that the tsukemen at Okiboru is just like what I have eaten in Japan, specifically the Kansai region. Being that I prefer tsukemen over ramen, dipping sauce over soup, over the years, I have definitely eaten my fair share of this type of noodle. The broth is a thick gravy that is meaty and dashi-rich at the same time. Not too salty, although slightly bitter at times. What really stands out at Okiboru is their thick and toothsome tsukemen noodles. The texture of these noodles alone keeps me returning. QR code menu and friendly service. Bar style atmosphere at this location. So nice to have an authentic tsukemen shop at the mall. I like to stop by before seeing a movie.

The process is straightforward and efficient: you order right at the counter, and then they deliver the food directly to your table. The service was incredibly quick, which is perfect for a casual lunch or a busy weeknight. Most importantly, the food was awesome across the board. We tried a variety of bowls and rolls, and everything tasted high-quality and fresh. What We Ordered: * Build Your Own Bowl (Salmon): Loaded with fresh salmon, avocado, shredded carrots, edamame, and seaweed salad. The eel sauce tied it all together perfectly. * Build Your Own Bowl (Crispy Chicken): This was a standout. The chicken was perfectly crispy and paired well with the spring mix, edamame, and the ginger miso and teriyaki dressings. The addition of cream cheese added a nice richness. * Mighty Green Bowl: A great option if you're looking for something vibrant and healthy (just remember to ask for no cucumber if that's your preference like we did!). * Fried Pork Gyoza & Bagel Roll: Both were excellent starters/sides that rounded out the meal. The presentation of the bowls is beautiful, and the portions are generous. Whether you're a fan of poke-style bowls or crispy chicken, there's something here for everyone. Highly recommend for a reliable and delicious spot!
