Open late, which was a plus since I wanted a hot ramen on a cold rainy March night. Parking was tight since its in a small mini mall with lots of restaurants but managed to find a spot closeby. Seating is a bit tight as its in a small restaurant but it is enough for a quick bite.
Walked in and was greeted warmly. This place has two sizes of ramen, my eyes were bigger than my stomach so i ordered the Large Jiro Ramen, along with a side order of gyoza and karaage chicken.
Food is definitely top notch, felt like I was in Japan. All the food was served piping hot and was delicious. Again, the Large size was way too much for me, I would suggust a regular portion when we return next time
Gyozas and Chicken Karaage were also legit, true to the ones in Japan. Definitely impressed, will return again on my next visit. 5 stars
We finally scored on a quiet Monday evening around 6pm. It’s snug, with limited seating, but the service is quick and the vibes are warm. We both went for the spicy miso–mine regular, his large. I devoured mine, he claims they were stingy on noodles. All in all, it was a good experience, flavour was honestly decent, but not as rich as I would have liked.
Would I return? For the regular spicy miso bowl, perhaps. For the large, maybe not. That being said I’d love to come back and explore the other items on their menu.
To start off I was in the area around 10:45pm and was looking for a place to get a quick bowl of late night ramen. Was rejected at one place so I found myself driving here.
If you love salty, garlicky, pork deliciousness please order the Jiro Ramen with extra salt! Yes I know everyone in the states usually goes for the spicy miso but seriously there are so many different types of delicious ramen that you need to try.
Taste: 10/10
It’s been a long time since I had a ramen that was so rich and deep in pork/garlic. I was floating in a river of umami for the whole time I was eating my food. Ask for salty so that if you do end up getting a bunch of toppings like me the broth will stay flavorful as the toppings release water into the broth.
Texture: 9/10
I personally would put 10 but putting 9 as I know some people don’t like the texture of bean sprouts and cabbage, but for me that is the part of what makes the broth at the end taste so delicious!
Noodles: 10/10 if you like ramen you can tell when a ramen shop uses the generic store packaged ramen. These noodles were so incredibly flavorful, tangy, and held they bounciness for until the very last bite. The noodles did not get water logged at all and it was enjoyable through and through.
Service: 10/10
The waitress and cooks were very friendly. I came in at 11pm on a Saturday night and they looked tired but happy to greet me and made sure to let me know about last call. Very friendly and homey.
I will be back so please go to this place on another day so I don’t have to wait in line. It seems like the rating of 4.1 does not match the quality of food so perhaps they have recovered from the pandemic and the people who work on Saturday evening (chefs and waiters) really know what they are doing with ramen.
