First ramen in Hong Kong - I popped in with little 6 year old daughter to test noodles, service and the like. We love ramen and have been participating in the ramen craze in New York City. First time using the automated ticket line machine...cool. For lunchtime on a Saturday, the speed was FAST. Although crowded everything went quick quick from the time we were seated to how fast our appetizers came. A mother son couple sat down after us and immediately ordered and their food came like in 5 minu
The decor is nice and everything is kept very clean; the seating also emphasizes the fast ramen place this is. About half of the seating are tables and booths and the remaining half is counter and communal table. We sat at the communal table. It was nice that the seats each have a basket underneath them to put your purse/backpack. I love all the little condiments that come on the table: spicy cabbage pickle, fresh preserved ginger, a sesame seed grinder and peeled garlic cloves with a garlic press.
The gyoza were OK; they definitely had that frozen then steam microwaved quality to the skin, and the filling was only so so, but they were served with alot of fresh green onions and ginger on top that gave it a fresher taste. We ordered the $88 Tokyo Ramen with Extra toppings ($68 without extra toppings). That came with 4 thick slices of pork, half an egg, bamboo shoots, three largish sheets of seaweed and a portion of spinach. The soup was good and the noodles had an al dente quality to them - tip: if you are sharing a ramen, order the Kamae-dae $15 for an extra portion of noodles. They give you a generous portion that works with the soup.
Other Info. :
Kid's thumb up. They even have custom high chairs that match the cool decor!
