The service was great. The staff were super friendly. I ordered the ponzu karrage and the fall special ramen. I wasn't a huge fan of the ramen broth. It gave a real interesting fish flavor on the backend. The karrage was crispy and gigantic. I enjoyed sitting at the community table to see what others ordered. 3.8/5 read more

We were feeling adventurous and wanted to try a new ramen place. When we googled, this place popped up, so we decided to give it a try, it's tucked in a corner of the Aberdeen Centre on the second level. We couldn't find it at first, but was able to located after walking around 5 minutes. We ordered their signature ramen x 2, Paitan Shoyu, and takoyaki, and the Japanese Croquettes. The side dishes were okay, but when we got the ramen, there were some hot sauce paste placed in the broth, which we didn't know what it was. We've never had ramen with spicy hot sauce placed on top before, at least not without asking. Luckily, I'm used to having spicy food, but It was so hot that my daughter couldn't eat it. I wish we could be informed, or at least have it written it on the menu, to give people a fair warning. Most of the Japanese ramen place don't put any spicy sauce in the broth, and I find it odd for them to do it. To be honest I was a little disappointed with the meal. The spicy sauce kind of ruined the taste of the pork broth, I couldn't taste anything after it. I'm not sure if I will go back again, unless I'm in the mall again for something else. If you are a big fan of spicy pork ramen, this would be place to visit. If not, please make sure to check with them before you order. read more

Seeing how it this place sometimes get, I have been wanting to try this place out for a while every time I visit Aberdeen Centre. I can see why now. It's a friendly little ramen spot that serves up some tasty ramen along with some rice dishes and sides. I tried their signature Paitan Shoyu ramen along with their gyoza dumplings. The broth of the ramen was spot on with just the right amount of unami that I ended up drinking up all of the broth to the last drop. That's not typical of me to do that! The gyoza scores well for presentation--a bit different than other places. Other than that, the texture and taste are average meaning it was good but not exceptional. Overall, it's a place worth checking out. I'll be back to try out their other ramen dishes. read more

We came to Ramen Takanotsume for dinner and while it was a spur of the moment choice, we were pleasantly surprised! They have a small but mighty ramen menu with enough broth choices for everyone--even the vegans in your life, and seem to have seasonal specials like cold ramen for the summer and also tsukemen. They don't have different options for noodles but I personally like their thin-style noodles. They also have a small list of starters like karaage, takoyaki, and croquettes. We weren't super hungry so just went for ramen, and tried out the paitan shoyu, paitan miso, and vegan ramen. The noodles are plentiful, with a good texture. The paitan shoyu broth was wonderful, perfectly savory and hearty but not overly rich. The paitan miso has a little bit of heat (the tiniest bit) and some sweetness from the miso. I personally prefer the shoyu over the miso but that's just personal preference. My vegetarian dinner buddy who had the vegan ramen said it was the best plant based ramen broth he'd ever had--I tried some and agree it is one of the few plant based ramen broths I've tried that actually had a complex savory flavor. Service is quick and attentive, and I would come back to try more if I lived in the area. The vibe is interesting, very laid back, and they seemed to be going through the entire One Direction discography the night we visited. I didn't mind it but it was unusual for a ramen spot. read more

A real Japanese Ramen shop you can find in Richmond! Ramen tastes are just like in Japan~ It is on the 2nd floor in the end corner of Aberdeen center. Ambiance of the place is decent, and the service is very much like in Japan, expect you don't have to buy the ramen tickets yourself, haha. This month, they have $10 ramen promotion! read more

I absolutely love the ramen here. The vegan ramen is absolutely wonderful, they are pretty quick with service. Since. Covid it's mainly online ordering, though you can ask for a menu to look at and order. It warm lighting and a good number of seats. The spot is located in the Aberdeen Centre 2F read more

Went here during their anniversary day, all ramen was 50% off! Went here with a friend of of mine. We only waited for about 5 min or so to get seated, lucky for us! During their anniversary, they have very limited menu, customer had the choice between shio, shoyu, miso - chitan or paitan, and could only order once. I picked paitan miso ramen, just like I always do. Order came after about 10 minutes, broth was good, chasu is a bit too lean and thin, and my noodles is a bit too firm compared to the usual. Not gonna lie, I was a bit disappointed with my experience this time. It cost only about $8 tho, so can't really complain much. read more

Tried out this ramen place conveniently located on the 2nd floor of Aberdeen Centre. It's a 3.5-star for their ramen and a 3-star for the ponzu chicken karaage. There is room for improvement. - Original Shio ramen: The soup base and the texture of the noodle were good. Quite standard. There were a few bamboo shoot, 2 thin slices of chashu pork and half of the marinated soft boiled egg. One thing amazed me was the noodles stayed hot for longer than usual. It might be the design of the bowl from its material or its shape. Kinda brilliant! - Ponzu chicken karaage: The flavour was OK. These deep fried chicken nuggets were a bit dry until they soaked up the ponzu sauce on the bottom of the plate. The portion was on the smaller side, which is great for trying out more varieties. The pricing reflects it. This restaurant not only allows you to check out their menu by scanning the QR code on the table but also allows you to place the order on your phone. There was very minimal interaction with the server. The restaurant is quite cozy, where they do have some clear dividers between tables. They follow the standard COVID protocol where they scan your BC vaccine card at entrance, have hand sanitizer at entrance and have all servers wear a mask. read more

Still one of the best spots in Greater Vancouver for vegan ramen. Nowadays, they have one vegan ramen option, a spicy miso ($16.95), which you can customize in spiciness from level 1 to level 4 -- annoyingly, they charge $1 per spiciness level, which is pretty steep. We went for level 3, which was extremely spicy (think Thai spicy) -- not too much for us, but we would go with level 2 next time. The broth is extremely complex, without relying too much on salt and is not too creamy/heavy -- just beautifully spiced and textured with miso and chili. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the toppings nicely assorted. Very generous portion still. All in all, a top spot for vegan ramen, competing with Danbo and Afuri. Highly recommended. read more

This was my first time at this location since they closed my beloved spot on Bidwell in the West End. Caveat: I am giving it 4 stars because it's based on a takeout order, where the product sat in our car for approximately 40 minutes while we drove home in rush hour, so expecting it to be stellar is unfair. So based on these constraints, I'm giving it 4, although if I'm being honest, the actual score would be 3 for the ramen, but 5 for service and the amazeballs fried chicken... Firstly, the place is really hard to find. I asked 3 different people, including the rather unhelpful "help desk" people who sent me off in a vaguely correct direction (waving me "upstairs"), but in the end, I had to call the shop. The server was super friendly and came out into the mall waving madly to help me locate her, so service was 5 stars! We ordered the veggie volcano, double veggies, and added nori, kikurage & chasu pork. We both ordered the Paitan broth, my hubby the miso, myself the shio. We also ordered the 8 piece fried chicken and gyoza. Unfortunately, I only took a photo of my shio veggie volcano bowl and the gyoza because OMG THE CHICKEN WAS SO FRIGGEN DELICIOUS we hoovered it down as soon as we got into the car for our drive home. Honestly, some of the best karaage we've had in a while! Once we got home, I was super impressed with the packaging of the ramen. Unfortunately, because the ramen had been boiled already, it was pretty soft and stodgy by then. Next time I'm going to ask if they can just give me the noodles raw, so I can boil it myself at home. The kikurage was a waste of money, you get barely two bites (I realize it's probably a difficult ingredient to get right now due to the lack of imports from Japan and the recent major food safety recall). I found the Paitan broth a bit thinner, saltier and less flavourful than at the Bidwell location, but otherwise, I thought it was pretty good considering that by the time I got it on the table it was almost an hour since we had left the shop. The gyoza I haven't had yet, going to have it for my lunch today! read more

Went to Aberdeen randomly and try this ramen shop!They provide happy hour everyday during 3pm-5pm. I was there around 4pm, why not give a try?! There are so much people inside even is not lunch hours! What a surprise! I ordered Paitan Dragon Shoyu, which is white soup with pork! It's sooo rich and tasty! (Main point: not thirsty after eating the whle bowl of ramen) The noodles is chewy and not that soft, love it! Two slice of pork are perfect for eat, soft and delicious with perfect fat! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the ramen here. The space is bright and there's a pretty good amount of seating. There's a few tables for four on the side, a big communal table and some seats along the window. it was quite busy when we arrived around 6:30. We we're seated right away at the communal table. I had the paitan's dragon dewdrop shoyu, with no lard. My friend also ordered some fried chicken to share. We didn't have to wait long at all for the food to arrive. The fried chicken was actually pretty good. However, I did notice it left a lot of oil on the paper it was on and the outside wasn't as crisp as I'd like it. But the chicken was very tender and flavourful. The ramen was presented nicely. It had two large pieces of meat that were also tender. The noodles had a nice chew to it and was a good thickness. I was afraid of the broth being too heavy, however it wasn't at all. It had a great taste that wasn't too salty. The egg was also better than I expected. When it arrived, I definitely thought the egg was overcooked and the yolk has going to be really mealy. However, the yolk was very smooth and it was tasty. Overall, the ramen is pretty good. If I was at Aberdeen, I wouldn't mind coming back. The servers here were also very friendly and attentive. read more

Took advantage of the Happy Hour between 3 - 5 pm for 20% off. The service was decent and timing was efficient. For me the ramen was good and is a solid 3 star. It was not bad but not astoundingly good. The ramen size was average. The broth is quite flavourful and rich flavourful The noodles were medium not to thick and not to thin The ramen wasn't too salty. If you are in Aberdeen and you want a ramen, I would recommend you check out this place out! read more

I've heard good things about their downtown location but never had a chance to go. Finally tried their Aberdeen location which is located on the second floor. I tried the Paitan Dragon Shoyu and also the spicy chicken kaarage. The ramen was okay. I'm not a ramen expert and don't eat it that often either. Didn't blow me away but nothing really wrong with it? Or I had higher expectations after hearing good things before. The chicken kaarage was very moist and juicy though! read more

Ramen Takanotsume - Ramen Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

First time here at the Aberdeen location. It's on the 2nd floor, by where all the restaurants are located. The restaurant is clean, well-lit and spacious. There's a big communal table in the middle, which is how they do it in Japan. "Takanotsume" = "eagle's claw". Their ramen style is from Asahikawa, which is a city in Hokkaido, Japan. Hubby and I came during happy hour, which is Monday-Friday, 3-5 pm. It's 30% off everything, including ramen and alcohol. We ordered a variety of items. The ramen broth was quite good and not too salty. We got the paitan dragon shoyu, which was tonkotsu & shoyu based ramen. We also upgraded to thick noodles for $1 extra. One thing I never liked about Taka (visited their downtown location a couple of times) is their chashu. Their version is too lean and dry. I want my chashu where it is kind of fatty that it melts in my mouth! Also, I wanted to compliment how piping hot their soup is! After maybe 10 minutes of eating, the soup was still hot! This was a huge bonus for me. The kakuni was the fatty pork that i wished their chashu was like. It was quite flavorful. On the other hand, I found their takoyaki and the fried chicken rather meh. The price was extremely good after the happy hour discount. We were able to try quite a few things. read more

You know, for a mall ramen shop, I would not have guessed the quality of the ramen to be as amazing as it was!! The flavors were all there!! I loved how very casual it was and reminded me of ramen shops back in Tokyo. I got the Meat Lovers ramen with Tonkatsu, chicken karaage, and braised meat with shoyu egg in a miso paitan broth. I will definitely come back here again! read more

The most delicious vegan ramen I've had! We placed a to-go order for spicy vegan ramen & shrimpy dragon ramen. Spicy vegan ramen had such a rich spicy miso flavor and I could NOT tell that it was vegan! Sometimes I think regular ramen is too greasy from the pork fat and it leaves me uncomfortable after eating. This vegan ramen didn't have any animal fat so I felt really good after the meal. Seriously, you need to give this vegan dish a try and you'll thank me later! Shrimpy dragon ramen was okay. It wasn't bad, but I don't think the shrimp flavor was strong enough to call it a "shrimp ramen." It wasn't bad, but I probably would not order again. The takeout container was two tiered, soup on the bottom and ramen + toppings on top to prevent noodles being soggy. What a great idea! I would definitely order from this place again! read more

Ordered from here using door dash, and despite the long wait time (probably due to door dash) the ramen was really good! I ordered their Shoyu Ramen and it was very flavorful! It included half an egg, some bamboo shoot and a couple pieces of chasu. They also packaged it very well with a divider between the noodles and broth. Their chicken karaage was super soft and juicy as well which is always a win! Looking forward to trying the ramen in-stores next time! read more

Ramen Takanotsume - To-go order of Shoyu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Japanese owned ramen shop Good chew on the noodle, medium thickness, a tad more kansui smell, so might not be too pleasant to some. To me, that kansui is a smell of home since I grew up eating wonton noodle which are usually overpower by kansui. Soup base is rich and full of umami, flavorful and on the lighter greasy side comparing to a few popular ramen place out in Lower Mainland. I really enjoy it. Plus I didn't have any body reaction after consuming too much MSG. Good sign that they are put effort to make their soup. Cha siu is very tasty, can taste the marinate throughout the whole slice of meat. Too bad the slices are a bit too thin, cannot really fully experience the texture after it's cooked. Nice seared to bring flavor out on the meat though. The egg is done very nicely, perfect! The yolk is still soft and shinny when the bowl came to my table. Egg white has been marinated so can taste the shoyu saltiness when biting into the egg. I would recommend to go here if in the area, if you can find parking! It's convenient location to do any grocery shop and other shopping in Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. read more

Ramen Takanotsume - Shio (sea salt) ramen - Ramen Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

The Ramen Taka Richmond location is completely different in ambiance when compared to the downtown one because it's much more spacious and well lit. This made our visit much more comfortable because we always felt that the downtown location was crammed and stuffy. I decided to go with the basic shoyu ramen since I wanted something with light broth. Even though it was a clear broth, it still had quite a bit of oil on the top. I'm not sure where it was from but it made it difficult for me to really taste the flavor of the broth. The ramen noodles they use here are the thin ones which I prefer over the thicker ones because I find that you can taste more of the soup when you're eating the noodles this way. The noodles weren't on the chewy side but they still had some bite to it. My favorite part about ramen is when I get to eat the seasoned egg. The eggs here have a gooey yolk and are seasoned in a soy based marinade. The ramen also came with chashu bamboo shoots, nori, wood ear mushrooms and green onions. We could tell that the way that they prepared the chashu was different from the last time we visited because it wasn't as dry as before. We saw that they merely put pre-sliced piece of chashu in the bowls of ramen and heat it up with a blow torch before serving. I've never seen it prepared like this before so it was interesting to see. read more

The ramen does not taste good. The soup has no depth of umamei other than salty. The soy egg is over-cooked. The noodle has an odd after taste. The service is discriminating. Staff advised the table is for "4 people" and then I saw 2 tables sitting 2 customers each. read more

I wanted to eat ramen for lunch and stopped by this restaurant as we were in the mall. We were seated right away. There is a QR code to bring up the menu. We were told by staff to order online. The ordering system has some flaws. The system does not ask for the name of the credit card holder to confirm identity, does not ask which table to drop off food to, and no way to customize orders (eg no green onions). It was a rough start to our meal with a hungry child. I suggest pay by machine option when ordering as the online billing version also prompts for tips in advance. Food did arrive soon after placing our order. We ordered the paitan dragon shio and miso ramen. There was choice of their tonkotsu broth or their clear broth. We also ordered gyoza and takoyaki for appetizers. The ramen portion looked small but actually was enough for lunch size portions when eating with the appetizers. The noodles had a good chew. The egg was alright. I would have preferred a runny egg yolk. The chashu was tender. The broth lacked depth and richness found at other ramen restaurants. However, it was not the worse I have tried. The gyoza was nicely fried and good pork filling. The takoyaki had a few pieces of octopus in each ball. The flow of the restaurant is set up well if they can sort out their ordering system. There were covid precautions in place. There was hand sanitizer at the entrance, social distancing was in place and staff wore face masks. read more

I may have set my expectations too high but @ramentaka.ca was not as good as I expected or what it was hyped up to be. The Flaming Dragon Ramen wasn't as spicy as advertised but still had good flavours considering they do use a 10 spice blend. For me it obviously wasn't as spicy as I thought even though I paid an extra $2 for spice level option. They do give you a lot of Ramen but I feel like the soup was more on the lukewarm side than hot which really altered the entire meal. The gyozas weren't bad but nothing memorable. The Zangi (Hokkaido-style fried chicken) were actually my favorite. The batter was light and crispy with the perfect amount of salt read more

Parents treated me for lunch here and was largely but also not surprisingly disappointed. I just had Marutama down at Robson last night too so this was terrible in comparison. First things first, the location is what I think was formerly some kind of off site Science World activity centre for kids that has now turned into the restaurant. While it is very brightly light, there's a moderate amount of seating and it's fairly spacious for a small space. The front of house portion of the restaurant looks quite randomly put together and the kitchen's passing window looks pretty shoddy since it's just a blank wall with a hole in the middle for food to come through. Long story short, this place doesn't look like a restaurant at all. The menu seems quite small, with 4 staple menu items which you can add extra toppings for an additional cost. Summer specials, appetizers, drinks and desserts are available as well. I got the Paitan Dragon Shoyu which is apparently "Chef's Recommended" or special but either way, I don't know why this would be the house special. While the food arrived very quickly, my appetite disappeared even faster when the bowl arrived. Portion sizing was fair for about $11, didn't expect much from that but the first thing I noticed was the layer of oil floating around in the broth. Sometimes I'm willing to accept it in the broth flavour can make up for it but this broth tastes like nothing. It's advertised as a creamy pork broth but I couldn't taste anything at all. Just oil. It also came with a large piece of seaweed, a large chashu, and a seasoned egg. Seaweed? Bland. Chashu? Had a meat texture but also bland. Seasoned egg? Kinda the only thing that really has flavour to it. My dad even got the fried chicken and it was also bland. Not sure how this place has decently high ratings. Service was barely there since tea and water weren't topped off at all. Won't be coming back here. read more

This new location after its first one in downtown has a very simple yet clean decor. It has a large table in the middle, a few tables for four along the wall, and then six high stool seats along with front window. The staff is nice and smiley despite being busy with a small line on a Friday night. Three of us had the miso, dragon spicy miso, and mini pork rice bowl. Had some gyoza and takoyaki to go with the noodles. My dragon spicy miso is good. It's certainly different but in a good way. The soup is hot right till the end. I asked for less lard and it made a difference. I did feel it was less oily and easier on my tummy. Instead of cha siu, it comes with shredded pork, which was very tasty but it's a different way of eating for sure. The pork rice was a bit off as the pork was a bit on the hard side. It was tough to bite and required some work. It wasn't chewy but just harder than usual. Probably the bigger surprise was the gyoza. Like another review here, it didn't come out hot at all. Rather warm only. I ended up dipping it into my hot soup to warm it up. All in all, it was fine but there is room for improvement. There are some minor bugs to fix but they should be able to manage this given their calibre. Good job on handling the opening! read more

Finally one more good ramen selection in Richmond. Food was quite good, the venue is small, and I'm confident the service level will definitely improve in time. I'm willing to give them a five stars because I believe they have potential and will only get better. I ordered the Paitan Supreme Dragon Miso ramen, which was a rich white pork bone broth flavoured with miso. The broth was very creamy and rich, packed with flavour. The bowl was not big, which makes you think there needed to be more broth at first glance, but the broth's richness makes up for the need for volume. Seaweed, two generous slices of char siu, half a soft boiled egg, black wood-ear mushroom, and pickled bamboo shoots. A bit of chili sauce and green scallion on top; A good combination to the ramen. The ramen is different than other shops I've tried, and I can't wrap my mind around it to say without hesitation it is the type I'd enjoy. Nice texture, spring, not soggy, nicely cooked for my bowl so nothing bad! I think what perturbs me a bit was how it reminded me of nissan instant noodle, in a very subtle way. I ordered a side of deep fried chicken, Zangi which is hokkaido style, i.e. chicken is seasoned before battered, whereas karaage is seasoned after deep fried. Soft and crispy on the outside, did not feel too greasy and was quite moist on the inside. Indeed the flavour is underneath so no dipping sauce or seasoning needed. Good zangi! Queue? Of course there was a line up. There were only a few tables so be prepared to sit in the long sharing table - it is a ramen shop after all. It is still fairly new so I think staffs are still trying to find their groove in terms of task organization. From a ramen shop perspective, I notice it took a bit longer than expected for the ramen to arrive. Still, staffs there were all willing to help and doing their best to attend to every customer. Their attitude makes me feel confident they'll get better at it. read more

My partner and I were originally going to order take out from another ramen place, but said restaurant had incorrect hours online and we couldn't get thru the phone to order so we just drove there. Perhaps we should've taken the dead line as a sign but we wanted our ramen fix, dang it! Anyways, after that, on a friend's recommendation we called and put in a take out order to Ramen Takanotsume instead and I was not disappointed! The menu was easily accessible on the website which made for easy ordering. I got the Paitan Shio and he got the Flaming Dragon. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's important to me to see restaurants taking measures like hand sanitizer available, servers wearing masks, and reduced capacity. Barriers are a bonus. Ramen Takanotsume checked all of those which made me feel safe to be ordering from them. We had a 15 min drive home so I'll have to be a bit forgiving about the noodles as they lost their chewiness by the time we ate. Anyways! The toppings, noodles, and soup were packaged separately and there was a little instruction slip on how to reheat the takeout. The broth is very flavourful and rich. I usually don't drink the soup at most ramen places but I was happy to devour the entire bowl. The egg had a nice semi runny centre and marinade. I think my only critique is there was not enough menma (bamboo) included. But either way, I'm looking forwards to my next dining experience here! read more

In Aberdeen Centre whenever you see a line up it's usually for food (just like any other Chinese shopping mall) but it also means the place's a pretty safe bet for a decent meal. Sura, Saboten and to a lesser extent Bubble Waffle Cafe immediately come to mind. There's no lineup for this ramen joint during Saturday lunch hour. At all. But the results were surprising coz their ramen and accompanying soup is pretty tasty and the gyozas exceeded our expectations as well, even though they BOTH came swimming in oil. The smaller noodle bowl size is deceiving but it turned out to be the perfect portion for lunch. Even more surprising is they have a liquor licence and not only beers are available but sake as well. I think this might well be one of the better restaurants in all of Aberdeen. read more

Oh, darn. Doesn't live up to the one that was in Vancouver at all, and I had high hopes. Bland ambience, white walls with no decoration, very standard and uninteresting, some classical contemporary piano in the background, nobody greets you on entry. (Well, the waitress told us to go back outside and scan the qr code, doesn't really count) Ramen just ok. Chashu was very thin, not super tender, very fatty, broth just ok (I had Miso, you couldn't taste it) egg perfectly cooked but not seasoned properly, and just a half. The chicken karaage was excellent. Won't bother to return, too many other great places to explore in Richmond area. read more

Due to Covid-19 I thought Aberdeen was closed but we just found out Takanotsume is open for takeout! Their karaage is one of the best so of course we ordered them. Haven't tried ramen for takeout but hope to go back for ramen again :) I also got curry and it was very authentic too. My husband got beef bowl and he loved it, although portions a bit small. read more

Located across from Chef Hung on the 2nd floor of Aberdeen Centre, I was excited to try this location. I've been to the Bidwell location in Vancouver and didn't have a good experience; I found the broth too heavy and thick and didn't feel too well after the meal. I decided to give this place a try! The Richmond location has a few individual tables, counter seating by the window, and a large community table at the centre. Service is good. The server was friendly and prompt. I think the servers were kept on their toes because there was a middle-aged woman running the cash register (maybe the owner?) who kept an eye on them and pointed out things for them to do. The menu at the Richmond location is relatively small, but sufficient. They have the typical shoyu, shio, miso, and spicy noodles, but I like that you can customize the amount of lard. They offer the original soup bases and also paitan soup bases, which is a creamier broth. They also have a vegan option! I ordered the White Dragon (Shio) option with no lard - I recall the one I had at the Vancouver location was too rich. The food came out quick, but the dish was slightly different than the picture. The chashu was a little dry and there was one sad little wood ear mushroom. The soup wasn't rich (I asked for no lard), but it was salty. Prices are reasonable, but the portion is on the smaller side. We weren't full after our meal so we went for bubble tea afterwards. The ramen isn't bad; it's average. With so many ramen options in Vancouver, I don't think I would come back. My friend didn't really like her ramen and I feel bad because it was my idea to come here :( read more

Ordered takeout from fantuan due to the situation of covid. Honestly, I was quite disappointed. The soup didn't have much flavour and the dipping ramen soup broth was very salty. However, the ramen noodle was cooked perfectly. Also got the croquette cause I was craving it. Croquettes felt like they were frozen and just cooked up again. I feel like it's not that special or extraordinary here. Has no "wow" factor but definitely has room for improvements. Also, it could be the fact that some of the soup were spilled before it got there. Will give it another try when it's opened back up for sit in. Ramen just feels different doing takeout. read more

I like that the bowl game with all the basics, and that we didn't have to pay extra for an egg. The egg could have been better- it was slightly overcooked. They could have also given us more meat, especially given how thinly they sliced it. Overall it was a decent bowl . Also tried the paitan shoyu broth - I always prefer shio because shoyu tends to have a sourness I'm not a fan of. read more
