Item: Special tonkatsu ramen
Damage: $6.90
I eat a lot of ramen and this is not ramen.
The noodles is thicker than most ramen and tasted like u-mian in instant ramen broth. Although the broth is flavourful, it lacks the depth you get from ramen broth that takes much hours to prepare. The noodles are tasteless without the soup. The egg was well cooked but not well marinated. The pork is quite alright.
Overall it was okay but it's just not ramen. I would patron if I feel like spending money on an unconventional u-mian. For this price, I would rather add $4/5 more for a decent ramen in a restaurant.
Signature noodles - $5
Noodles was chewy and al dente but pity I'm not a fan of noodles. But the chilli was good and the meat was flavourful. Everything in the bowl came together really well surprisingly and definitely worth the travel!
Item: Tokyo Gyuniku Don
Damage: $12
Rice was soft and flavourful. Liked the balance of meat and onion. Flavour was alright, it wasn't too salty or anything for me. Overall it was nice but not impressive. Wouldn't travel there just for it.
Went there on a weekday for dinner and there was only one person cleaning, setting, serving and manning the cashier. So poor thing but service was slow :'>
I had their signature ramen and noodles are good if you like them al dente. Meat is thin and soft, good ratio of fat and lean. Soup was decent and the ajitama is the best. I am a hugeeee ramen fan and I think I've never eaten a flavoured egg that made an impression. I mean, they were mostly just soft gooey goodness but this is REAL good. I don't even know why.
I will definitely return to Kanshoku for ramen again! π
First thing first, I absolutely love their soft ramen noodles. You can opt for normal/hard noodles (like any other Keisuke outlets) if you like them al dente. Though the name suggests that chicken is the hero here, I regret to say I don't think it goes well with the ramen. The chicken was tender and well cooked but it felt out of place for me and honestly it is quite weird to eat ramen with a huge piece of chicken bone swimming among the noodles.
But definitely worth patronising at least once in my opinion! Personally I would still prefer tonkatsu for my ramen broth.
