Customer Reviews
I needed a quick lunch so placed an order for pick up. I don’t eat pork typically so I asked what chicken options they had. None were available as the hostess said they had updated their menu. Between the veggie and seafood option as all other alternatives had pork I chose the shrimp. I asked for extra shrimp as the wontons that came inside the dish contained pork. This was not good ramen… all the shrimp protein were heads, the two tails I got were uncleaned down the spine, the noodles were clumped together and not traditional noodles. The broth was extremely fishy and no hints of coconut as explained… I could not even finish the dish… The dish was supposed to come with tofu as well and I got two medium sized cubes… The cucumber salad was alright I ate that to completion. It had medium fla
Not sure if this is an Oregon thing but as a Houstonian we don’t tend to rely on adding sriracha and soy sauce to our ramen. They tend to be full and bold of flavor with just the broth itself. Unfortunately, we had to add some of it to ours to make it a little palatable. The staff was great, it was more of the ramen itself, I got the “spicy” Akarasu ramen and it was not spicy at all, and the egg was well done when they are not meant to be. A few other things we got were the Abu-Ramen and the Gyoza and they were okay as well. Honestly, for the ratings and reviews we saw we were expecting a little more, but once again I am used to the Houston, LA, Seattle and NY flavors so maybe it’s just me.
Great spot for a quick bite and their opening hours are convenient compared to other ramen spots in this area. Casual and the ramen is pretty good. The sandwiches and poke are good options as well.
Finding parking wasn't so easy I end up parking in a neighborhood right infront of a house. I don't know if they have a public restroom or not I didn't see any nor did I ask. I ordered the Akasaru ramen noodle to go and sadly, there was literally nothing else in the paper bag other than the food I ordered. There was no napkin, fork/spoon, no sause. The dining room was small it probably fit about 15 peoples. The food was okay/editable, it wasn't the best or worst. The employees there are neutral no smile on their faces, but there was a greet. Right outside there are graffiti everywhere but I don't blame the shop. Yes it's wheelchair accessible!
I got the Shoyu ramen and it was pretty good. The star of the show for me was certainly the egg. If I had one complaint, it would be that the noodles weren’t quite as done as I would like, but they still tasted delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
