While in Japantown there are several places to eat but during covid you are required to have a vax card handy to eat in the restaurant, and wait for some of these places are crazy long. Just a word to the wise go during the week days less people, less foot traffic, less stress. Lugging around a family of 4 is not fun during the weekend, any place you want to try is an easy 35min to an hour wait. Here are some of the things sampled and how all of it faired
Ramens
Shio flavor - decently flavored, hearty, not to salty, noodles were springy, try this
Karaage ramen miso flavor - obviously the karaage gets soft if you don't eat them first, no need to rush, just take them out of the bowl to consume at your leisure. miso flavor i'm not a real fan of, again noodles springy, added meats and sauces were ok, again choose something other then miso haha unless you have kids then you kind of don't have a choice haha
Ramen miso flavor - standard bowl no frills, springy noodles basic broth, shared bowl with the wife and daughter, if you like basic, this is the most basic bowl you can get
Karaage - piping hot, semi large cuts of chicken, could use a dipping sauce other then just a lemon
Mixed tempura - 2 of the straightened prawns, some broccoli, some yam slices, and few other slices, decent, piping hot with side sauce for dipping
Edamame - can't mess this up, appetizer definitely a fan favorite for my family, order this haha
bottom floor close to the toy shop and across from the Korean bbq spot, small seating area inside and small seating outside tables meant for couples if not 4 people
food *** order the ramen but try something other then miso flavor, Shio flavor was good, I would order it again
price $$
service *** you have to wave them down to ask for anything
ambiance *** older restaurant, constantly wiping down everything down due to covid, vax card required to eat here
