A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Went to this place for dinner in ktown in New York city. This place is fairly similar to the one in Tokyo (it’s one we went to after clubbing at Womb in Japan). I will say concept is very similar (ie single booths for each person, and you pre-pay).
I ordered an Asahi beer, the original Raman, and extra pork (probably didn’t need the extra pork based on my hunger level).
We went to this ramen place after a long night out at Womb.
Overall, the ramen was great, and the middle thickness is what I wanted. Would definitely go back here again.
We went to this place for lunch in Shibuya.
They have a limited menu, and they only accept cash (you have to pay before you get seated also).
I got a highball (of course), and a miso ramen with extra pork and stir fried vegetables (which were basically just stir fried bean sprouts). The noodles seemed home made, but they were the thicker kind (not the thinner ones).
Leaving the restaurant I would have said I would have came back. But I did have a stomach issue later on. So now not sure.
Stopped by this Ramen place in Korea Town for a thanksgiving late lunch lunch.
Got the shoyu ramen (which means chicken broth apparently) with pork. Overall pretty good. I should’ve added an extra slice of pork though.
Also paired it with hot Sake. Can’t go wrong with that on a cold day.
Also, wanted to add that this place is a good for eating alone and working on your phone (the eating bar you can just order ramen, drinks, and sit there for a good amount of time on your phone).
Tried this Japanese restaurant in Hawaii (we had an interesting conversation about a Japanese restaurant in this state, but I guess 80 years is a long time that it isn’t an issue).
I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was good, but the pork was too salty. Also, I tried the gyoza, and only thought it was ok. The shrimp and chicken karaage were basically like breaded shrimp and chicken. I was ok with it, but definitely under impressed.
Also, unfortunately this place does not serve any alcohol.
Overall, not sure if I would go back to this place.
Great ramen place, that would also be good for dining solo.
I got their house ramen, with a side of a pork belly bun. Also grabbed a warm sake. All terrific.
So probably won’t go back here.
The ramen was ok (I got their tonkatsu ramen). However, I ordered sui mai as a side, and it was cold on the inside!
Went here for Sunday brunch.
For appetizers we got the spicy edamame, the fried takoyaki, and the shrimp. All great choices.
For the main course, I got the Beyond Ramen, and added fish cakes. It was definitely a bit salty because of the garlic, but still tasted good. I did try the soup of the original Orenchi Ramen, and I do think is does taste better. So next time :).
Checked out this ramen restaurant at the East Village.
This place is great for solo dining, as you can order and just sit at the bar (where you can also make some new friends).
I ordered the spicy beef ramen (had the chili sauce on the side so I could control the spicy ness), and the pork belly buns (which I actually thought was better than the ramen). Overall, really happy with this place.
And of course, I paired my meal with a glass of Sake.
Overall, ramen was good. I got the Ajisen Best Ramen combo, which had a good variety of meat (tender pork ribs, premium pork, and BBQ pork). I would come back here again.
