Ramen Play: HORRIBLE.
2011-06-29 20 views
I headed down to Ramen Play to redeem my voucher bought on Groupon for $5 (instead of $10.80), for Shoyu, Spicy Shoyo or Oyakodon.I chose the Oyakodon: rice with egg, chicken and green onions simmered together. I have tried this at other Japanese restaurants before and I loved it because they did it so well.However, at Ramen Play, I can’t express my words beyond disappointment.

I headed down to Ramen Play to redeem my voucher bought on Groupon for $5 (instead of $10.80), for Shoyu, Spicy Shoyo or Oyakodon.

However, at Ramen Play, I can’t express my words beyond disappointment. The rice grains were lumpy, the eggs didn’t taste freshly cracked and cooked, so-so, and the chicken pieces were not just pathetic but full of fats yet tasteless.

What’s worse is that the staffs carried poor service, rude and arrogant who do not take/serve your orders promptly. To add on, they forgot to serve us water until requested.
I felt horrible enough that I paid $5(excluding gst) for this, thank god it wasn’t $10.80

I had my weekday dinner at RamenPlay. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen with 2 pieces of char siew as I'm not a fan of such char siew meat anyway. There were also bamboo shoots and half an egg.The description stated that "The luscious stock is a recipe of quality ingredients such as pork sinew, soft pork bones and spices that have been broiled for about 12 hours, resulting in a rick, thick and delicious base used in all the ramen dishes."But I beg to differ as I thought the soup tasted like simply MSG b

I had my weekday dinner at RamenPlay. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen with 2 pieces of char siew as I'm not a fan of such char siew meat anyway. There were also bamboo shoots and half an egg.

The description stated that "The luscious stock is a recipe of quality ingredients such as pork sinew, soft pork bones and spices that have been broiled for about 12 hours, resulting in a rick, thick and delicious base used in all the ramen dishes."

But I beg to differ as I thought the soup tasted like simply MSG base, in fact it was rather watery.

Overall, it was average I'd say. I've certainly tasted better ramen noodles though, service wasn't prompt and the staff was rather rude to us, probably my first and last time here.

There was a Groupon deal for a bowl of ramen or Oyakodon at $5++, and i decided to give it a try.

I ordered spicy shoyu ramen. oyakodon and a bamboo chicken(read good review abt this chix).

1.Spicy shoyu ramen- the soup base needs more stock to make it flavourful, and the thin pork slices looked so pale with quite a bit of fats...Consolation was there were 3 condiments for u to self serve(to enhance the flavour), fried garlic, chilli and chive with chilli. The noodle is springy but i think the soup spoils the overall ramen experience. I Rate 5/10

2. Oyakodon- Me and my partner can't agree more that this taste better than the ramen. Only grouse was the chicken meat had few pieces of soft bones or tendons which i dont't like to swallow. Rate 6/10

3. Bamboo chicken- I ordered this as i was bought over by positive reviews and the presentation. I was wrong, i felt the mince chicken was under seasoned and the raw egg yolk dip did not help much. The re-useable bamboo holder looks burnt from repeated grilling but the chicken meat itself does not have the grilled taste or aroma. I would personally think that the 'Tori Q' brand 'Yakitori Chicken ball' which also uses mince meat taste so much better! Rate 4.5/10

We were there at off peak hours around 5pm so there were only four diners including us. The service staff were nice and pleasant.

  • Perhaps the tonkotsu soup base ramen might taste better.

I am curious to see how good or bad the ramen will be.I order the set that comes with a mini ramen, side dish and a drink, priced at $13.80++.I am surprise that the noodle used is almost the same as the one in japanese restaurant. The pork is tender, although only 1 slice of it.The fried meat (with cheese inside) is so so but is also quite tender.

i got the mini value combo ($11.80) which i think is really quite worth it! oh yeah, for the sanpou shoyu ramen must add $2 cos its special. haha. anyway, i preferred the mini size cos its more manageable? and it comes with a side dish and a drink. the original size ramen is priced at $14.80. anyway what is special about the sanpou ramen is the three types of meat in it! there is a piece of Toroniku (braised pork cheek), Cha Shu (braised pork belly in char siew sauce) and Buta Kakuni (braised pork belly in special sauce). i loved how the meat was beautiful melt-in-your-mouth softness of the meat! and the egg was done wonderfully as well, you could see the part hard-boiled, part oozy and juicy egg yolk, and even the egg white was in the nice half-done way! cool! the soup was not bad as well, i preferred this to my sister's version. but it was nothing to shout about in my opinion.
my side dish was the mini dango set, which is basically baked (i think) chicken balls covered with a nice barbeque sauce and mayo. yumyum!

my sister's mini tonkotsu ramen (also the set meal) was pretty much similar to mine. the thing about their ramen is that there is hardly any meat :/ like mine had one piece of each kind of meat, and i think hers just had one piece of cha shu -.- which is a pretty sad case -.-
for her side, she got the crispy dango, which is the deep fried version of my chicken balls.
another dish we got was the unagi toji set ($14.80) which is grilled unagi (eel) wrapped in soft fluffy eggs which were really yummy and comes in a sizzling hot pot that smelled awesome! taste wise, it was not bad!
one more thing was that they had this cute sign that said "Chose your poison" in which the "poison" refers to their selection of condiments like stir-fried chili chives, chili paste and garlic chips. guess which one i chose? the GARLIC!
haha. i sprinkled a whole spoonful in my soup which added a nice flavour to the soup (: (:
