Came here for dinner during the week. Was greeted by several friendly staff and seated right away. Having been to Sapporo for the Snow and Ice festival, I've eaten authentic Sapporo Miso ramen many times. Ramen and karaage is a very common comfort food in Japan. With that, I ordered the Spicy Miso ramen with thick noodles and a small side of karaage. Both came out together in about 10 minutes. Ramen was presented nicely. It wasn't as spicy as I expected, but was still good. Karaage was also good.
The best to enjoy this amazing place is early, like 11:30a.m., to beat the lunch rush. Me and my mother ordered the Gyoza and Squid legs for the appetizers. The Gyoza was delicious as well as the Squid legs. The batter on the legs was light, not too much nor extra oily, it was perfect. The crunch and texture were just muah! The main dishes that we ordered were the Tonkatsu and shiyo aka #3. I had the shiyo w/ pork and it was perfect for me. Not too much filling, especially with the broth, and the pork was divine. Taste like a fresh chicharron with that goey, slim line of flavorful fat. Broth had chicken aroma and well topped off with green onion. The Tonkatsu for me was good, but the broth was a bit more sweet for my tasting. I had the idea/ideal comparison of the one from Costco, which doesn't have much sweetness. Overall, good portions, well made dishes, clean and pleasant environment, service was fantastic and very polite. The only flaw thing I have, besides the slightly sweet Tonkatsu, is the parking. It's very cramped but then again, it's expensive to find and invest in a good area for a restaurant, so I can't blame them on that.
Great underrated ramen spot in Dallas! Got the Tonkotsu Kuro Ramen and it was packed full of flavor. The broth, pork belly, and noodles were delicious & perfectly cooked. Portions were perfect too, there was so much pork belly, what a steal for the price!! The small plates are great too, they came out fresh and hot and had plenty of flavor. I loved the chicken karaage & takoyaki!
Great experience, easy parking, seating was choose your own spot. Had the house special Ichiro ramen and was blown away. I did order a side of gyoza that never came. I asked the sever later in the meal but declined due to the size of ramen being too much food. They actually gave a discount due to the mishap. Will be a returning customer for sure!!!
