I found this ramen restaurant on Google and decided to check it out. It was very crowded during…read morelunchtime on Saturday. Because it was raining, we and most other customers chose to sit inside. Perhaps I ordered the wrong one (ramen with gyoza, the gyoza comes on the side) but it was actually pho. See the photo. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't ramen either. I ate it anyway. The gyoza filling was edible but also wasn't completely satisfying. I was very happy with the Genmai tea which came very hot. I would try the other ramen places in town before coming back and ordering something else on the menu to see if it comes close to ramen.

If you don't know what ramen is at all, you might be ok with what they serve at this restaurant…read more Although the menu of ramen looks varied and authentic, listing a lineup of familiar ramen names like tonkatsu, shoyu, and salt ramen that will make any ramen aficionado salivate just by reading them, don't get too excited. We ordered a tonkatsu and two chashu shoyus, expecting the usual fragrant umami of a clear brown soy sauce based broth for the shoyu and a more fiery reddish spicy miso broth for the tonkatsu as is unique to each dish, and instead got three bowls of what looked like a clearer version of miso soup with slightly different ingredients like egg or sprouts topping each one. The chashu was not slices of bbq-d pork like you would expect, but paper-thin sliced *boiled* meat that covered the entire dish like you would find in a southeast Asian soup like pho--the soup even tasted a little bit like a light chicken broth for pho--and the noodles were unfortunately like overcooked angel hair pasta. The gyozas we ordered were charred and overcooked as well, but at least the wilted spinach salad was pretty tasty with its soy ginger mayo sauce. The staff was also very friendly. All in all, it didn't taste awful, but it wasn't Japanese either, let alone ramen. Not by a long shot.
