My bf had wanted to come here for a loooooooong time after he saw countless pictures of people eating the volcano ramen here.. so here we go! While I would say the ramen was nothing to scream about compared to the others we'v been to, there was a surprisingly good dish which will make me come back for more.. the gyoza in Tonkotsu soup!He had the Tonkotsu Kazan Shoyu ramen.. which I would say in terms of taste, its not superb compared to the likes of ippudo but.. the volcano hot stone concept was
He had the Tonkotsu Kazan Shoyu ramen.. which I would say in terms of taste, its not superb compared to the likes of ippudo but.. the volcano hot stone concept was definitely interesting! The meal also comes with rice, which you can then mix into the rest of the soup when you are done with the noodles.. reminds me of mui-fan! lol.
I love the soup of ramen.. but dislike eating too much of the noodles because I find them very filling.. so guess what? I found my perfect dish!! soup gyoza in tonkotsu soup! I really really hope other ramen restaurants introduce this dish too.. so that carb-conscious girls like me can find an alternative to enjoy the soup without the heavy carb noodles!
In terms of the service.. I would say the waiters are very polite.. but there were instances of service lapses.. I waited half an hour for my gyoza after the ramen arrived.. and when I asked them for it, they reminded the kitchen.. and then the order was delivered to the wrong table.. so i had to wait another 15 minutes.. by then the boyfriend had finished his ramen.. and im left waiting my my simple gyoza soup.. but they did redeem themselves by giving me a free plate of edamame.. We also had chicken karage... but it was quite oily and tasteless..
Well, I would say the whole hot stone concept is more gimmicky than having a real effect on the taste of the ramen. And you do have the kind of 'bbq' smell after eating there.. but I think i'l return for the gyoza soup!
