Been wanting to try this Ramen place out for a while. Karaage Ramen is new to the city. I was surprised there was only a short lineup. We tried the classic, the karaage, the curry ramen. All very nice. But consider the normal 15 plus people line-up, I would not come to downtown just for this bowl of ramen.
There is always a long line outside so we had to check this place out. We got the atomic spicy ramen with chashu and the same with karage. First and foremost the atomic spicy is not really spicy, so if you like spicy go for atomic for sure because just spicy might disappoint you. Other than that the soup is great it , love the thickness of the soup. The noodles are thicker than other places but it goes well with the soup. Egg is good. The chashu is thicker than many places making it tougher than other places, I prefer my chashu to be thinner. The karage was really really good. It was well marinated and perfectly cooked and tender, you could tell the flavor of the marinate in the chicken separately even after dipping it in the soup. Over all good bowl of ramen.
Edit: We went here again and got the medium dense soup base. Upon consideration, we would probably prefer the dense one.
This place probably have the biggest line to get in at 12:00 pm, but that shouldn´t scare you this place have a fast service, as soon as you get in they will guide you to your table, always smiling and giving you the best they have.
The place is a little small so that is something you should think about it but it is really good.
The Crispy Chicken Ramen is so good, it´s a great combination with the crispy chicken and the spicy of the soup.
Great place to go if you´re cold and want to have a relax meal.
This place gets quite busy around lunch time. Great location is key, but that’s not it - the ramen is also delicious. The crispy chicken combined with spicy ramen was flavourful. The broth is yummy combined with their thick noddle which was very filling. A must try for ramen lovers!
I always see a lineup for this place, but thankfully when I decided to try it there was no wait.
I got the Tsukemen and it was very delicious! Broth was really good. The Chashu was alright (I've had better), but it was still pretty good !
The portion is pretty big also in my opinion (:
Pretty delicious tonkotsu chicken broth! I love the fried garlic in top, it really seasons the bowl well. 😋 The fried chicken is great, not too heavily battered or fried. The noodles were the least impressive part of the meal - a little too al dente and maybe too much of it in the bowl.
The presentation of their food is very appetizing. However the broth was a bit on the saltier side. I ordered a side of gyoza and I thought it was better than the ramen. I would come back but the place is quite small and when I went, we had to wait outside in a line for at least 30 min.
Good food, good service, spicy bakamonri fills up my life! although there are usually a line up at weekend, i love how energy the staffs are!

Seems like there must always be a line up here but we never have to wait too long. I had the regular size, mildly spicy kararage ramen and my partner had the mildly spicy chashu ramen both with rich broth. We were both happy and full and felt no need to order the larger size or Bakamori. Noodles were nicely firm and the broth was just warming and tasty. The karage does not stay crispy in the soup. How could it? Still the chicken coating soaks up a bit of the rich broth and is very pleasant. We also tried their gyoza which are apparently made in house and they were nicely browned and tasty although the filling could have used a little more punch. Don't sit near the door on a windy day! Friendly folks and efficient service.
By far the richest and most flavourful broth in the city. We always end up ordering their classic karaage chicken ramen and are never disapointed.
