I recently checked out E Ramen, and while I had high hopes based on the photos I'd seen, the experience turned out to be just okay. Let's get into it.
First impressions matter, and E Ramen definitely caught my eye with its eco-friendly, minimalist vibe. The atmosphere is clean and modern, giving off a calm, laid-back feel. I was welcomed upon entry, which was nice, but my server's attitude was a bit of a letdown--very short and to the point, with zero warmth or energy.
For appetizers, I went with the crispy tuna, which unfortunately didn't even arrive until after my entrees. That was frustrating, to say the least. When it finally came out, the tuna itself was delicious--packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. But the rice? It was so crispy, it felt like I was chewing on rocks. That really ruined what could've been a great dish.
Moving on to the main course, I ordered the lobster ramen. On the plus side, the portion of lobster was generous--I was actually impressed by that. But the ramen noodles were slightly undercooked, which took away from the overall experience. The broth was bland and lacked depth, though requesting some chili oil did help bring out more flavor. In the end, I'd give the ramen a 6.5/10--not bad, but nothing to write home about either.
Overall, my experience at E Ramen was just okay. While the place has potential, it didn't live up to the expectations I had based on its presentation. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't see myself coming back anytime soon.
