Was walking around Fashion Walk and discovered this ramen joint tucked away near the highway, so why not try it out.
Food: Had a lot of variety in terms of what to pair your ramen with: char siu; soft pork bone, chicken wings, tempura shrimp, fried chicken, fried pork cutlet....etc. There was also option to select thickness of noodle, toppings and soup base. But since I struggle with Chinese....I just let them make me the default for everything.
Ramen with soft pork bone came piping hot, however the half sliced egg came fully cooked (I think its supposed to be half cooked yolk...). The soup base was okay in terms of flavor but I will give kudos to their ramen noodles - which I liked bc they were very silky in texture. In terms of toppings, came with corn and bean sprouts and lots of scallions and the half egg. The pork portion was huge - overwhelmed the entire bowl of noodles and not good at all. I'd rather eat Tsui Wah's soft pork bone.... Even though I was hungry, i could only finish half the bowl because for some reason the flavor wasn't enticing enough - I got sick of the flavor and just stopped eating, so that's a minus.
Ramen with duck slices was better, duck slices actually held its flavor on its own. Much preferred over the huge portion of pork.
Gyoza was nothing special, reminded me of the pre-made ones you buy from the supermarket and make them at home. A good thing was that they didn't come dripping in oil - but were easy to eat in that sense. Also fried nicely on the bottom.
Sizing it up: The overall space is kinda cramped - just a eat and go setting. Also bit dark in terms of decor (black/red) and gloomy. Price is okay, around $50-$65 for a bowl of ramen. But in terms of quality and authenticity, there's a long way to go if it wants to compare to a decent bowl of ramen in Japan. Would not come again.
