Oishii Ramen Cafe

(Excuse me while I gush but...) I've dined in a couple times now and can honestly say that they serve consistently delicious ramen. The tarantula ramen is unlike any soup I've had around the area. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the seafood was perfectly cooked and it's a real bang for your buck. The staff is friendly and they keep it clean. I'm looking forward to trying out more of the menu.

Great Ramen have amazing options and different styles. We tried the shrimp and chicken bites as well pretty well done but chicken could have more flavor.

as someone who’s had ramen in japan, this is the only place in america (that ive been to so far) that can even compare!! all of the food is so good and the bubble tea is a perfect companion!! the staff are also incredibly sweet and very accommodating. DEFINITELY try the tonkotsu ramen it’s sooo good 🤤🤤🤤

Delicious! I’m a huge Ramen fan and have eaten at tons of places across the country. Oishii is top tier. I got the spicy TonKotsu ramen which is what I always get wherever I go. The flavor was deep. The egg was cooked PERFECTLY. The meat was soft and not rubber like some places. Plenty of fat. The environment was good. Small cafe feel. Love the massive window that you can sit at and look out while u eat. Staff was super friendly and kind. Prices were similar to other ramen shops. I wish I lived closer so I could try more things. This ramen shop had significantly more options and specials than any other I’ve been to. Let me know if you find something good!!

Had to stay in Bethesday for a hospital visit and almost didn't have to go to the hospital because this ramen cured me! My wife, her mom, and I were the only couple in there and were treated so well by the staff. We had to make a modification to a dish and they did it as a one time courtesy which was so kind. The ramen was so tasty! Broth on point, as well as the noodles. The chef(I believe) came out and we gave our compliments and she was so thankful. You could tell she was passionate about her food. They also have boba here! I got the strawberry cheese foam which was delicious!!! Worth a visit if you need great ramen in Maryland.

Great customer service Friendly staff yummy food the establishment is a bit small, not a lot of seating. However, nice area. Place is cool and clean. Def recommend. Will return.

Absolutely one of my favorite ramen spots in the area! Causal interior for a quick devour (if you will) of tasty ramen noodles and condiments! Service is always attentive. A bit overpriced but you won’t regret:)

First time trying out this location, and I must say this is a MUST try. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and it was delicious. I also tried the pork gyoza, it was good too.

Super cute and small. The appetizers were amazing as were the entrees. The service was fast and pleasant. Great place for ramen!

Loved this little ramen shop and will definitely come back to try others. I had the spicy tonkatsu and it was really really great. Can't wait to try out some of their other ramens. Also, ordered the dumplings and a Thai milk tea both were great. As far as service they were attentive and fast. Very cute place and all in all really excited to try more things from there My partner had the tan tan which I tasted and liked but still would have stuck with my order

The menu is just right for a restaurant this size. It's a small place with limited seating. But the food and service are great. Our appetizers were delicious and the portions just right. We could have made a meal out of eating only the selection of appetizers. Ramen and the rice bowls were just as good and plentiful. Barely able to finish after the appetizers. Get the bao buns, gyoza and the shumai. Parking can be iffy but plenty of parking structures a short walk away. So you can work up some appetite and then get a little after dinner walk in to digest the food. I will go back to try more of the food and drinks.

If you've read some of my reviews, then you know I LOVE ramen...I'm obsessed! My hubby, brother and I had plans on 3/17/2024 (Sunday) and when my brother suggested we start by having lunch at Oishii Ramen our plans were immediately more exciting to me. We arrived pretty much at their opening time, sat down and our waitress brought over water immediately. This is a very small spot, so I gather the goal of this restaurant is for you to eat and go similar to a lot of ramen spots in Japan. Please note, this is just what I am guessing due to the size, we were never rushed or felt unwelcome. I got the regular tonkotsu (with added egg that I split with my husband) and both my hubby and brother got the spicy tonkotsu. My husband added mushroom to his order, he thought it would be kirage, but it was like a regular sliced white mushroom. The ramen was excellent, a flavorful, buttery broth, the char siu was equally flavorful and tender. The egg was perfectly cooked and all of the ingredients worked well together, my only complaint is this ramen was on the smaller side, otherwise I highly recommend.

The boyfriend and I both love ramen spots and he had this one bookmarked, but after going we both wished he had added a note on why he originally bookmarked it, because, alas, neither one of us were impressed with the ramen. He had the Oishii bowl with pork belly and more, and I had a veggie ramen bowl but requested a different broth. I appreciated the ingredients of my veggie bowl - the egg I added had good flavor and a bit of sweetness and I liked the flavor of bamboo shoots. Somehow though the bowl as a whole was a bit lacking. Maybe it needed some spice? I found the broth pretty oily but not tasty enough to finish. So 3.7 stars for the food. Service was fast and friendly. I would possibly consider coming back to try other items on the menu in the future.

Cozy mom and pop ramen shop with authentic fresh ramen. The restaurant is a tight space with only a few high-top bench style tables and elbow rubbing stool seating along the windows. Only~ dozen or so so fit inside the restaurant (reminds me of NYC!), definitely not family-friendly with space heaters on the floor. I appreciate that 2 types of vegetarian ramen (Veggie and Mushroom) was offered and glad I got the Veggie Ramen. While it was appetizing and just as pictured, the broth was a bit bland with soggy veggie noodles and a heap of veggies - tofu, corn, carrots, scallions, green cabbage, kikurage wood-ear mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. It felt like there was something missing. There was no kick. I slurped down the broth and devoured the veggies and left behind a heap of noodles. The bowls are quite wide with a small base, making it easy to spill. My hubby sadly spilled his ramen and the service was great and quickly made him another ramen. The local neighborhood ramen shop is a nice new addition to the area and opened up 3 years ago during the pandemic at the end of 2021.

My personal favorite ramen shop in the area. Servers are very friendly/chatty, and dishes are consistently delicious!

My husband and I are obsessed with ramen, so of course I had to get some spicy tonkotsu takeout after I just had lunch. It was packaged well for the ride home and still delicious after reheating. It had a nice kick and pretty good flavor. I would definitely return to try more menu items at the restaurant.

I was the first 1 in for lunch & it started packing up quickly afterwards! Fantastic food & great layout for a ramen cafe! Fantastic service!

One of my favorite place. The food is amazing. My kids love this place so much. The sitting space is very limited which can make it a wait if it's busy. The staff there are so nice and polite. The shrimp tempura is amazing. I don't think I've has a place make it better then this one in Bethesda. I tried the spicy noodles which I enjoyed it does have a nice kick and you can always add more chili if you'd like it higher. Overall it's amazing the food packed with great flavors

New favorite ramen place in town! Oishii ramen has a very flavorful ramen broth base with delicious toppings. I also ordered the Rose Ceylon tea which was the perfect addition to the meal on a rainy day. The staff were very friendly, and they were able to seat us right away on a Tuesday evening. Limited seating so make sure to get there early if they're busy.

Oishii Ramen is in the center of Bethesda. I love a hot bowl of ramen to warm me up during the cold months and this place did just that. I had their popular tonkotsu ramen and karaage. The ramen was so soothing and comforting...and they pack so many noodles in the bowl. I was starving going into the meal and still left with some to take home! The karaage was a little too oily and dry for me, but they it does have a satisfying crunch to it. There is minimal seating, but the majority of customers coming in were delivery orders. The staff was also so kind and attentive. I will definitely be going back!

They have 2 long high tables that can sit 4 people and some seats by the bar and window. There is NO standard table. It is more like a ramen bar. Ramen here is excellent! Dumplings were good too. No alcohol. Service is good.

was just 20 minutes a little too early for waxing appointment around the corner (at European Waxing Center), and accidentally came across Oishii Ramen Cafe while using my iPhone Apple Maps.app My intention was to only order the purple tarp milk tea w/ boba but when I saw the menu on the screen, I was very surprise that my favorite Thai Street food Soup (Khoa Soi chx noodles) was in the menu and decided to add it into the order! They close for an hour between 3:30 and open back at 4:30 P.M. bud my appointment next door was at 3:45; so coincidentally, I ordered my to go order around 3:25 right before they stopped serving and taking in other orders/guests. The ramen restaurant is fairly small, but have counter seating for about 6 customers, and five to six customer bar tables. I am definitely coming back here to try the other ramen, and milk tea boba drinks in the menu! The soup was $18, and milk tea (w/ add ons) were around $8... $28 plus sales tax! Just a little expensive!!! Will be back soon. Maybe this Friday :). Hehe

This is a very cute ramen café in Bethesda. Food - Great! The gyoza is good and their chashu don was absolutely delicious. Service - Good. The only tables in the cafe are very elevated and have high bar stools to sit on. Parking - There is no parking lot so it may be difficult to find but you can park in the streets nearby. Overall, this place is great.

If they fixed the attitude of the cashier I'd give this place another star. She seems to have a problem with Togo orders. And an even bigger problem with people waiting inside for their Togo order even when it's raining. It is a very small space to be in so I wouldn't dine in. The karage was not good and didn't come with lemon or mayo list some shredded cabbage. The ramen was mediocre meat options on top were great but it's also a $20 bowl of ramen so they are in line with the price. If this wasn't a 2 blocks from where I live I'd probably never have come here.

Good ramen in downtown Bethesda, but not a standout as the best Ramen in DC. This is a tiny little hole in the wall with a few tall tables and an even smaller number of low-tops. They serve the usual set of ramen that you can expect from a reasonably upscale US ramen spot including a variety of different broths and noodles as well as some interesting sides. Pretty much everything was a solid four stars in that it definitely didn't disappoint, but also didn't blow you away.

First review of 2023 and it's lit? Yea I'll take it! I think I've found my no frills go to Ramen spot. You dont come here to chill - you pop in, cop a squat, eat and bounce which is exactly what we did. This small spot is brightly decorated and they serve up a Mean bowl of Ramen. Slipped in and was immediately able to grab a table. We were served water immediately while we perused the menu. We started off with drinks and Chashu buns. I got the brown sugar bubble milk with a cheese cap - so YUMMY But I wish I ordered it with less ice. My wife got the black milk yea with bubble and a cheese cap - I think she was in heaven. The chashu buns were just ok. I've had betters Jinya so nothing to write home about. We finally settled on our ramen orders: one Oishii and one spicy Tonkatsu. The Oushii really good. I mean BACON IN RAMEN? Who knew that would be a hit. I liked crumbling the bacon into the ramen as it picked up the flavor but did get soggy- perfection. But... that Spicy Tonkatsu?!?? Dont play wit it! I mean it was delicious. Silky, spicy with robust flavors. I mean just WOW. Nearing the end of dinner, they came around with a selection of cookies to choose for your group - i got the bubble tea (of course!) There is no doubt that I will be back.

Came here on a weekday, it was relatively busy. The restaurant does not have a lot of seating though so make sure to plan for that. The food was ok, the broth is a bit too salty and the egg marinate was a bit sweet. I think the noodle is good and the bacon is a nice addition to give the bowl more texture. The food came quick and the service was ok. I might come back if I'm in the area but definitely wouldn't go out of my way to get it.

I ordered take out tonight from Oishii and it was great! I ordered the creamy chicken ramen without the soft boiled egg. The food was ready on time and the noodles and toppings were packed separately so they didn't get soggy. Everything about the ramen tasted great!

I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen. The ramen was spicy but not over powering. I wish the ramen had a few mor veggies or toppings, it was mainly just the noddles and broth. It did come with two pieces of pork but it was mainly all fat. Not my personal favorite.

Our first experience with this restaurant was when we ordered through a food delivery service. The food came quickly enough and I was impressed by the way it was separated out and packaged. My wife ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen and I ordered the tarantula ramen, which was had seafood including tempura soft shell crab. We shared our meals and I would say that both were excellent in flavor and quality of ingredients. If I lived here I would frequent this place, which we did during our stay. Highly recommend

I'm a Ramen fanatic, and I have been all over the DMV looking for the best Ramen for years. My daughter and I stumbled upon this little place today and we were both incredibly impressed. The spicy tonkatsu Ramen is the best I've ever had. It's the perfect amount of spice with an incredible flavor. Service was great, too. if you're looking for something that's not fancy at all, but want to eat some amazing Ramen, this is your place! We will be back soon!

Delicious ramen spot with generation portions. Spicy tonkatsu did not disappoint and the tako yaki were some of the best I've had. Quaint and cozy with limited seating but a warm and welcoming vibe. Service was excellent albeit a bit slow when waiting for our check. Highly recommend if you love ramen and Japanese street food.

Been going here for over 2yrs and hands down it's been a favorite boba spot. In the past, you could order and dine in even if it's togo, without needing a reservation. Lately their service has been poor, the prices don't match what's displayed, and God forbid you want to eat your to-go appetizers, they'd kick you out with empty seats in the restaurant. 1star because of service, but food is good

One of our favorite low-key spots in Bethesda. Stopped by for the bubble tea (would recommend the Mango Green Tea) and came back for the ramen. Lots of unique ramen options, and our ramen wasn't overly salty like at most other ramen shops. Service is always great too--servers took the time to walk us through the menu and were very attentive.

My favorite place in Bethesda! I could eat the tarantula every day. It's delicious and so beautiful. I have carried out and eaten inside and they are prompt and friendly.

I will definitely become a regular at Oishii Ramen Cafe! Their drinks are delicious and Ramen is outstanding. They actually sold me on ramen. It's always just been "okay" to me but now I see what the big deal is. If you have never had ramen, Oishii is where you should start and if you have had ramen go here and this will definitely be one of your top ramen spots. Its a very small restaurant but their dishes and drinks have big flavor. They have two big tables that fit about 6 people each. For my drink I got the Rose Milk Tea under their Classic Tea Series! It was so refreshing, it literally made me feel happy and relaxed. It was so satisfying. It was sweet but just right. When I left I forgot to bring my drink with me so I came back and of course they already threw it away. I had to buy another one it was so good. Even their water container was cute and unique. I also ordered the Shrimp Shumai (dumplings) which were perfect. They are very light with the perfect flavor. Their Tarantula Ramen was amazing. The perfect amount of spice and over all flavor. If you like seafood this is the choice for you! They have about 13 Ramen options so they have something for everyone. I will be back to explore more on their menu! The staff and owner/manager (not sure which one) were great. They were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. If there is seating, I suggest dining in. But if you can't dine in they packaged the food well so the quality isn't super compromised.

I think that this ramen place has a lot of varieties compared to other ramen restaurants, especially the specialty ramen that was offered. However, the milk tea there uses powder, which I am not a fan of. To start, I tried the Tarantula ramen, which is really citrusy in terms of flavor: something that I'm not really a fan of when combined with seafood. In addition, There's a lot of spice in the lobster soup, which along with the citrus flavor, kind of covers the lobster flavor aspect of the soup. The soft shell crab included is really crunchy and is cooked in whole, which I enjoyed. The shrimp and scallions are soft and cut up. Overall, 7.8/10, rounded up for the service.

I love the ramen here! I had the Oishii Ramen at the restaurant before and it was really good. This is my second time ordering the Taruntula Special Ramen for delivery and it's DELICIOUS!! It's spicy but very worth it! I love that it comes with the soft crab on the side. It's about to be my new go to dinner!

Oishii is a quaint little cafe in downtown Bethesda. The menu is small, with various appetizers (shumai, gyoza, bao buns, etc.), ramen, and drinks (milk tea, fruit tea, yogurt tea, cheese mousse with toppings like boba, jelly, pudding, red bean, taro, etc.). Seating is limited, so I was happy to find out that they take reservations. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen and stewed pork belly (+$3), as well as the cheese mousse with fresh strawberry tea. Although not as spicy as I would have liked it to be (remember to mix your soup or the shredded red hot peppers will stay in the middle of your dish), my ramen was very good. The pork broth had a lot of flavor to it, my chashu and pork belly were both very tender, and I really surprisingly enjoyed the menma. I also really enjoyed my strawberry tea. It was a little sweeter than the drinks I usually get, but I assume that's because of the fresh strawberries added. The cheese mousse was also a little different than I'm used to as it seem mixed into the drink rather than a top layer of the drink. It was still delicious, though! A friend also ordered the pork gyoza. I tried one and it wasn't bad, but at $7.99 for four pieces, I'd definitely skip this one. If you're in the mood for ramen and a good tea drink (with or without boba), I highly suggest checking out Oishii Ramen Cafe. There's metered street parking available in front of the restaurant, as well as a parking garage nearby, so finding a spot to park shouldn't be an issue.

Had a craving for ramen and decided to order takeout from Oishii Ramen Cafe. I ordered the Spicy Tokontsu Ramen and it did not disappoint. The dish is made from a pork broth and has a homemade spicy paste, soft boiled egg, cha shu, menma, scallions, black garlic oil, and shredded red hot pepper. The toppings combined with the flavorful broth was so delicious. The dish is very filling and they give you a sizable portion, as to be expected with ramen. When I picked up my food, the store was full of customers eating so it's must be a popular spot. I'm definitely happy to return in the future.

This is a very small ramen shop situated in Bethesda with bubble tea offerings. We ordered the tonkatsu and spicy tonkatsu flavors for the ramen and I myself had the whole milk strawberry latte. The ramen was perfectly cooked and the broth was rich and not too overly salted/seasoned. The roast pork was also cooked to perfection and warm to the touch of the tongue which is a good sign, as it shows preparation of the pork isn't lazy. The nitimago was also made well and appreciated. All in all, a good mouthfeel which I crushed easily in a short sitting. I'm going to give a star reduction in the value proposition, very expensive bubble tea ($8) and pricey ramen as well. The bubble tea was good but it seemed too saturated with toppings (strawberry, jam, etc.) and the boba itself were slightly small and slightly stiff in the center of the boba. If you are paying these prices, perfection should be expected out of every segment of your meal. However, definitely worth checking out if you are in Bethesda.

The ramen at Oishii is fantastic value for your money. I ordered the Oishii ramen which had pork 3 ways: bacon, chashu, and pork belly. All 3 pork cuts were delicious. The ramen also had an abundance of veggies too with bamboo shoots, kikurage mushrooms, and sweet corn. The broth of the ramen was flavorful and the soft boil egg was cooked properly. I also had a rose milk tea which was also tasty. My only small complaint about the milk tea was the packaging. I ordered a cheese foam milk tea and the tea came with the standard plastic film seal rather than a plastic lid with a sipping slot which is commonly used for cheese foam type drinks.

We loved everything about Oishii ramen cafe! Super accommodating staff (we had called to reserve a table and they were so sweet about it) and attentive service in this cozy little ramen shop! The shrimp shumai and seaweed salad were delicious! The bao buns had a unique sauce and the crunch of the fresh crispy lettuce was a really nice addition! We had the miso and tan tan ramen and the portion size was just right with lovely flavorful broth - the best part was the soft boiled egg for sure though- so tasty and perfectly cooked! We will certainly be back more often as the weather gets cooler and to try out more of their fun menu of bubble teas!

Tried Oishii to-go for the first time recently. Oishii is a new spot located in downtown Bethesda, near Casa Oaxaca. I'm not sure if they are allowing dine-in customers right now, but there was a quaint little outdoor seating area set up with picnic tables in between the two restaurants if you want to eat your meal asap. The staff was very friendly when we went to place the order. My partner ordered the tan tan ramen and I got the tsuke ramen, and we shared a tidal drink (specialty drink with ube and mango). The tan tan ramen was really good - like a spin off of Dan Dan noodles. The tsuke ramen was topped with some sirloin instead of the typical pork chashu. I found the meat and the sauce it came with to be pretty flavorful, but the noodles in the tsuke ramen were kind of thick and harder to eat and I think the sirloin was a bit on the tougher side too. I think the highlight of our meal was the drink. Props to Oishii for offering a non-dairy option (oat milk) for milk teas. The tidal drink was a yummy mix of Ube and mango purée with your choice of milk swirled in. I'll definitely be going back for more!

Great new spot in Bethesda, land of restaurants. We loved it all! The food was delicious and also came out super fast. It really felt like a ramen shop in Japan. Many people were getting takeaway. They keep the soup separate so you can reheat and add it at home to keep it fresh. Super nice and we will be back!

I had the volcano ramen and it was flavorful and yummy all the way! Staff and ambiance were also nice.

This brand new ramen shop that opened about 3 weeks ago in Bethesda, MD I started off with the Shrimp Shumai and Kakuni Bun. These apps were so good, the Shumai was delicious, and I absolutely loved the braised pork belly buns. Both were very flavorful! Onto the ramen I had the... Tantan ramen, Spicy Tonkotsu, and Shoyu ramen. These bowls.were very flavorful, I loved the attention paid to the toppings. Their tonkotsu broth is brought to a rolling boil for 48HOURS. This extra attention made their broth extra creamy and thick. Perfect for slurping. I also tried two of their Specialty bowls: Green Curry ramen served with a huge chicken drumstick on top. I loved the curry flavors and the creaminess of the broth. Taruntula Ramen has a tom yum base to the broth and is topped with a crazy amount of seafood. I really liked the sweet/spicy flavors. The creamy yet spicy lemongrass flavors really shine in this bowl. They also have a whole fresh milktea and bubbletea bar right there. Specialty drinks and specialty ramen make this place really unique in the DMV ramen scene!! This adorable shop sits right on the corner of Norfolk Ave. and Fairmont Ave. in Bethesda. They are still in their "Soft Open" stage, so stop by this local shop and show them some love. The owner and staff are the sweetest, and very hardworking. They will be rolling out their Grand Opening over the next few months!! I truly wish great success to this shop!!

Great spot and very friendly folks. Solid spot for ramen and I like their teas as well. I recommend the gyoza. Everything is fresh and delicious.

Just off the main drag in Bethesda, Wisconsin Avenue, sits a humble family ramen shop in the Woodmont Triangle on Fairmont Avenue called, Oishii Ramen. GinaBee played it safe and ordered the Miso Ramen. She liked it. I had the Taruntula Ramen. The soup base was a lobster broth with a spicy creamy lemongrass base. Coconut milk, shrimp, squid, cabbage, mushrooms and scallions. A slice of line and two pieces of hot red chili peppers. Prominently placed on top of all of it were two breaded soft shell crabs. The spices and coconut milk made for a delicious Thai flavored ramen. The ramen was thin egg noodles just the way I like it - just like the saimin noodles in Hawai'i. Service is terrific. If you go, go early as this place fills up quickly. Banzai!

The drinks are a 5/5, and the ramen dishes are a 4/5. The result: I'm rounding up for my review. Firstly, the drinks. My partner had the ube-based special drink (which I can't seem to find the name of on their website). He ordered it with 100% sugar, which I usually find to be too overpowering, but this was perfect. Ube has a rich and creamy flavor that pairs well with citrusy fruits like mango, and this drink nailed it. While we typically share drinks, I was greedy with this one. If I could rank it a 10/5 I would because this might just be the best beverage I've ever had. We have found a new late night boba tea spot to frequent! The drink I ordered was the Tsunami, also great and very fruity. I ordered half sugar, but with the amount of fruity goodness in this beverage, including a strawberry purée at the bottom of the cup and popping boba, you can skip the added sugar and still be satisfied. Honestly, this drink was delicious and any other day I'd have no complaints, but when paired next to the ube special, the ube takes the cake. I will say that next to my Volcano ramen, the Tsunami was a great pairing. The Volcano is spicy, as the name suggests, so having a cold and sweet sip every now and then took some of the heat off. My spice tolerance is pretty solid, and I found this ramen to be exactly what I was looking for. It was a cool, rainy day, and I was still a little congested from a cold. This cleared me up quickly without making me uncomfortable. The noodles were great, though I do have a personal preference for thicker noodles. The broth and bulgogi were similarly delicious, but I feel like, overall, something in the mix of the ingredients were lacking. Off the top of my head, I can name better spicy ramen I've had in the NW DC area. For that reason, 3-4/5. My partner had the Tarantula ramen. The broth here was even better than the Tsunami with less spice and more citrusy coconut milk flavor. I liked the soft shell crab, but again, there are places in the area (e.g., Oki Bowl) that do a soft shell ramen that has a bigger crab and for a lower price. While I think, at the end of the day, the Tarantula beat out the Tsunami, I'd still rank this dish a 4/5.

We did not dine in at the restaurant but ordered to go and food was excellent, one of the best ramen we've had so far.

If you enjoy instant ramen, you will enjoy this place. You also get to spend $18 for it instead of $1!

Came to get some ramen, and it was so flavorful and delicious. This is a small establishment with limited seating, so you should definitely try to get there and pop in before all of the spots are taken so you can get some amazing ramen or boba. The service was amazing as well, being very fast and easy.

They display a different price from their menu to their website. They will charge really quick so you don't see that is an extra dollar. I think that they should verbally inform us that their menu is not " updated". When I asked why the price was different, the server asked me to look on their website. This is dishonest and misguiding for the consumers. Im not going back to support businesses that does trick stuff.

After lunch, I stopped by Oishii Ramen Cafe, a Japanese restaurant off Fairmont Avenue that serves appetizers, ramen, and bubble tea. I had one of their specialty drinks at 30% sugar. The Hurricane consisted of Hawaiian tea, peach strawberry puree, and strawberry popping boba. It tasted great but I was surprised that the bubble tea was warm and not iced.

A small intimate place for ramen and tea. Got a family small business vibe. Service was wonderful and quick.

Food was great, got the spicy tonkotsu ramen. Also got a rose milk tea and forgot to ask for less sugar so that's on me that it was too sweet. Customization is solid; i liked that they have an oat milk add on, and i could swap out ramen for udon. Service was poor, recommend just take out. They never check on you so you'll have to go up to the front and wait on line if you need anything, but then still expect 20-25% tip off of the total not subtotal which is absurd. Ambiance was meh, nothing to write home about so again probably best experience would be take out and them i'm sure it's at least a 4 star if not 5.

We had three different soups and all 3 were amazing. A real gem. Service was excellent and very friendly. A terrific lunch experience on a rainy day
