I've wanted to try this new ramen place for some time. Finally got some friends to accompany me today to try out their weekday set lunch. You top up $2 on top of the ala carte ramen price and you'll get a side dish and a drink. Guide-dog friendly As a ramen fan, I've got high standards for my ramen. For their ramen sets, it's disappointing that the egg that comes with their ramen is a half-boiled egg and not the runny egg-yolk type of ramen egg. The seaweed and bamboo shoots tasted alright. Howe
Guide-dog friendly As a ramen fan, I've got high standards for my ramen. For their ramen sets, it's disappointing that the egg that comes with their ramen is a half-boiled egg and not the runny egg-yolk type of ramen egg. The seaweed and bamboo shoots tasted alright. However, their very thinly sliced pork cha shu hardly had any flavor to it and seem to be just boiled. Noodles were cooked a bit too soft for my liking too.
Their signature ramen had added spices to their broth, like a slightly peppery tonkotsu broth. Did not really like the taste. Also, soup base was a bit too one-dimensional salty and very oily. I prefer one that is rich, but does not leave an oily after-taste on your lips.
Arashi Genkotsu Ramen - $14.90++ for setAs for the sio ramen, the soup base is less salty than their signature ramen. But still, it's too oily.
Arashi Genkotsu Sio Ramen - $14.90++ for setWe choose the gyoza for the side dish. The skins were thin and pan-fried till crispy. But the amount of meat could be more. When I bit into the gyoza, it kinda collapsed in probably due to insufficient filling. The meat within was tasty though.
Gyoza (3 pcs)Guess this is a one-time visit for me, as it falls below my expected standards.
