This restaurant is the sister restaurant to Gyoza King downtown. We have always been fond of Gyoza king, so we were very excited to be able to try this place.
The counter area is made to resemble a Ramen stand. This small restaurant has enough room to sit only about 20 people at 1 seating. We were lucky that when we visited this place that it was not too busy.
ToriGara Shio Ramen. The black fungus adds a crunchy touch. The lighter chicken broth is a good choice for lunch. Uses the same ramen noodles as Kintaro. What we do like is the flavor of the soup. Portion sizes are larger than Benkei and Menya, and comparable to Motomichi.
ToriGara Shoyu Ramen: Extra large and with extra egg. This is the Japanese version of the extra large pho noodle. This was served in a bowl the size of a small wash basin! Served with 1.5 times the amount of noodle, this is a pretty impressive bowl to consume. We were the only table to order this. Needless to say we got a few stares when they were bring over the noodle. We loved the flavor of this soup. Deep flavor but not overly oily. Most importantly is that the MSG factor is low.
Takoyaki. This tastes good, but would have been better if it was made to order. Seems like this was made before hand and reheated. Slightly disappointing.
Our Verdict:
- Good location outside of downtown. This strip mall is busy during lunch hour with its highly concentrated number of restaurants. Be prepared to wait.
- Price: Very reasonable size and portions. Price point is cheaper that most of the restaurants located downtown. Restaurant is small and will not be able accommodate large groups.
- Service is fast. We were able to be in and out in an hour.
- Offers dry ramen that is more unusual. Would love to come back here again
