“ Tomago Taiwan Ramen is the best!!! They expanded their menu for your friends who don't like ramen but you want to drag them with you anyway. ”
“ I honestly don't have many complaints. Service was very good, we came closer to 8 pm so the restaurant was not packed. The server checked up on us often. We decided to go with a couple of the specials on the board. We ordered tako karaage, special tonkotsu ramen, and gomoku ramen. I decided to add in extra protein in mine (gomoku ramen). I added extra tamago and cha siu. Prices were reasonable for the portions we received. I also want to add that the hours on Yelp are wrong. They are only closed on Mondays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are the same time as the other days. -tako karaage 5 - deep fried octopus. I recommend trying this if you need a chance of pace from ordering gyoza, takoyaki, or karaage. The portion was just right and it had good size octopus. It had a nice crunch and I really liked the texture of the octopus. It wasn't overcooked. -Gomoku ramen with extra protein 4.5 - tamago had a nice yellow-orangish hue yolk. Cha siu was easy to tear apart with your teeth and had good flavor. It was slightly dry. Ramen had a good amount of veggies. Noodles had some chew. Broth is similar to shoyu. Not too salty. There are also small pieces of pork. ”
“ Came here for a late lunch after moving to the area. The staff were all very nice and service was quick. The ramen was pretty good. Not the best I've had, but good. L ”
“ Ramen House Shinchan is a decent ramen shop, specializing ramen from Nagoya. I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen, and overall it was not bad. Although I think bean sprouts in Tonkotsu Ramen is not ideal. The Tebasaki chicken wings are fried and drizzled with a sweet sauce. It was pretty tasty and had a good fry. They do have a specials menu, so make sure you look out for that. If I'm in the area again, I'll give Taiwan Ramen a try, as that's a traditional Nagoya ramen dish. ”
“ I really enjoy Ramen House. I've ordered for pick up and delivery several times, and everything I've ordered has always been very delicious and fresh. My favorite is the Tonkotsu. Very delicious broth! Only complaint is that I've had some pretty chewy pork a few times I've ordered, but overall- it hasn't been a consistent issue. ”
“ This is a small mom and pop ramen spot. The inside is kind of dated but I personally prefer it that way, gives off old school home vibes. They have a live waitlist on Yelp, I highly recommend utilizing this to avoid a long wait time. The ramen is absolutely delicious and tasty. The broth tastes like it's been boiling and prepared for hours, it's very good. Ramen comes with lots of toppings without having to add more for an up charge. They do have them though. The price is reasonable, most places have crazy high prices for ramen these days and I appreciate this one not raising their cost like others. Service is fine - You are able to enjoy your meal with who you're with without their staff hovering over you. This has become one of my favorite ramen spots in the area! ”
“ Came here for the first time on a weekend evening randomly. Did not make a reservation, but luckily got in for a table of three. They do a lot of takeout and carry out which I saw from all the packaging of food. Service was nice and food came out very quickly. Everything was good but not great. Definitely room for improvement but that's a good thing. Considering the competition in the local vicinity for Ramen, both new competitors and existing an older competitors They definitely need to do something to elevate them or make themselves distinct from everybody else. Great part was that it is in a strip mall, so parking was easy. Pricing is fair considering the competition in the area would happily come back, especially if there were new items offered on the menu or a new fresh approach to some of the traditional items. ”
“ Took five tries to finally eat here. Was the wait worth it? Read on! The first four visits - be it Covid related, long lines or whatever- yeah it took fifth visit to try the food. Looks like they are back to full operations! I ended up getting the spicy tuna roll and Tonkotsu ramen with extra chashu. Spicy Tuna Roll was ok, nothing special. I would recommend you skip the rolls and stick to the ramens. Tonkotsu broth was awesome, thick, bold, creamy and unfortunately there wasn't enough broth. Not sure if you can get 1/2 noodles and more broth but if you can do it!! The chashu used at this place is pork shoulder meat and not pork belly. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The only issue I had was - I asked for extra chashu and got two orders of extra chashu - not sure if this was by a mistake but whatever. However, don't get extra chashu lol, what they give you is plenty. While observing others, I've noticed they ordered miso ramen, chompong, and karaage chicken. Next time I visit, I'll have the other ones. Also come when they open, I was first in the door but within 5 minutes all the tables were occupied. ”
