Broth is good. Seems properly made . We asked for an add of coconut milk to the sates but we're told no. They don't do that. I don't think he understood. That would have really improved the soup but it was still good. A solid 7 out of 10. But no higher when compared to broth in the city. Service was good. Soup might be the best all day.

Sometimes restaurants offer substitutions and then I try them, and it feels like they don't even try to make it good. This restaurant is the opposite. This dish didn't have me wishing I still ate dairy, 10/10 would recommend!!!

Inspired by the shops of Vancouver, LA, and Tokyo, and driven by their love of noodles, Greg and Erin Masuda served the first bowl of authentic, scratch-made ramen that Vancouver Island had ever seen. Six years and 40 flavours later, Nikkei Ramen-ya still bustles; if you can't make it to our shop in Downtown Courtenay, you can now find our ramen at your local Vancouver Island grocer. From silky Tonkotsu to vegan-friendly options and crisp karaage chicken, we've got something for every craving. Gluten-free options are available Our review- We met a friend for dinner, we went early at about 4.30pm, it wasn't crowded yet. Ordered our ramen on an electronic kiosk menu board... By the electronic menu board, there are table # stand. Chose a number & put the number that you chose onto your order as identification. Then place the number stand on your table. The noodles were very good, nice soup broth... we enjoyed the noodles very much, we also added a side dish of green beans, dressing on the beans was like the Japanese spinach (Gomae). Beans was crunchy & with that dressing, it was yummy. Overall a very good experience, do check it out if you are in downtown Courtney. You will not be disappointed ! Place was clean with decent seats Come after lunch or before dinner, the place was crowded during dinner time.

Ramen is a great comfort food from Japan. It fixed my craving when I had a long work day on this…read morebusiness trip. The ramen was great, except that it's pricier than what it's worth. That's the reason for a 3-star. Food-wise it's a 3.5 star. When I first stepped inside the restaurant, there was a sign asking wait to be seated. I noticed someone was standing in front of the kiosk. The other one was not occupied. Before someone came to greet me, the person behind me went straight to the kiosk. I soon realized that people just order from the Kiosk and seat themselves. Kind of confusing right from the beginning. The ordering process on the kiosk was quite user friendly. It accepts credit card. I don't remember if they accept interac. It will ask for your first name for food delivery purpose. You need to provide your email if you want the receipt. At the end, you will see your order number and your name on the screen. After that, a staff (technically he was not a waiter or server) came to tell me that I can sit anywhere I want. Then he went back to the kitchen behind the bar. I ordered Hokkaido Miso ramen with Ajitama (seasoned soft boiled egg). The egg was an addition. It doesn't come with the ramen. The portion was normal which is quite standard from most ramen places in Metro Vancouver. I did not order any side dishes. After tax, it was close to $30. The kiosk didn't ask for tips. I supposed you could give tips by cash after the meal. During the whole dining session, you can ask for assistance as I saw what other customers did. Otherwise, you will not be approached by any server. The flavour of the ramen was ordinary. The texture of the ramen was great. I appreciated the egg and the chashu. The piece of butter was a bit too rich for my liking. The butter could be removed before it was completely melted in the soup. Overall, it's a nice comfy bowl of ramen. I sat by the bar. There were 3 young chefs cooking constantly. The place was not too busy on a Friday evening. Free parking on the street was easy.

I've never seen that before and it was very disappointing. The broccoli and beef was plentiful but hardly any sauce and not much flavour. The Cantonese chow mein had very little noodles and was very bland and it needed something in the way of sauce. We were not too happy as it cost $80 with a tip. We Will not order from there again.

Beef was tender and broccoli done tender crisp. Cantonese chow mien with good amounts of shrimp, pork & chicken cooked to perfection with yummy sauce on crunchy noodle. Egg rolls were large, hot, packed full and so tasty. The service was quick and attentive without being intrusive. Very friendly! The place was well lit with a nice decor and was also spotless. We've had good Chinese elsewhere, but nothing better than Golden Carriage! Did I mention it was very reasonably priced?
