Ramen House Ryowa

Quite a nice experience. My folks and I went to Ryowa for dinner last night for the first time, and we were quite pleased. The food was fantastic and the portions were very generous. The price was very reasonable, as well. Going to a Japanese noodle house is a bit of a stretch for my mom and I, but we both really enjoyed our meals, and I think Dad was glad to have the chance to do something a little more exciting than our usual fare.…

I'm sorry to tell you that their ramen was awful.... Their ramen was really awful. I?ve never had that tasteless ramen in my life. I?m from Japan so I know what good ramen taste like. I don?t understand why they are so popular! I heard the restaurant was very popular so I went to try their Ramen with my friend for the first time. The restaurant was crowded. About 10 people were waiting to be seated so I was excited and expected to have great Ramen. Within 10 minutes, we were seated. So far very good. I ordered my favorite kind of Ramen and waited about 10 minutes. It was quick. I tasted it?. what is this? It?s tasteless!! I?ve never had bad ramen like this in my life. Maybe what I ordered was bad. I?ll try again and order different ramen to try. If I found it good, I?ll update this review. Otherwise, believe me, they are not good at all.…

Low on ambience, high on YUM. The name isn't posted outside (in English, anyway). There's always a huge line. There are no tables, only a crowded counter that snakes around the room. It's noisy. The menu is ramen and not much else.

But the service is fast - they took my order while I was still waiting to be seated, and served me within a few minutes of sitting down. The servers race around non-stop but deliver the requested food and checks quickly. The prices are reasonable - just fifty cents more gets you a side of rice and potstickers. And the ramen is delicious, full and flavorful, and just heavenly on a cold day. Perhaps a little high on sodium, but that's true of most ramen. There's a manga library if you want some reading material or something to stare quizzically at.

One of my new favorite lunch spots!…

Noodle lovers often brave long waits for steaming bowls of authentic Japanese ramen.. In Short
While waiting for seats at two U-shaped counters or two small tables, patrons peruse Japanese magazines from the bookshelf by the door or watch Japanese game shows on TV. The menu offers a small but well-made selection of fresh noodles and side dishes. The house special ramen comes in a delicate miso broth with thinly sliced pork and a boiled egg. Popular lunch specials include gyoza--pan-seared pork dumplings--and a choice of white or fried rice.…
