Sanpoutei Ramen Review

Finally get to come to this place after talking about it for half a year. Besties and I can never find time for each other lol. We are all too busy. Anyways, I don't know what a good ramen should be like. I guess it depends on the texture of the noodle, the soup, topping and everything? I'll just say whatever I thought.

My friends ordered the tori+spicy miso ramen ($13) and the tori ramen ($12). I got the tori and miso ramen ($12.50). I forgot the price but those are the prices I found online but I believe it was more than that. I paid $44 including tax and tips for all 3.

The ramen came in an ok size bowl, not big and not small. The soup had this layer on top (wrinkly looking layer?). The soup wasn't thick but it had this stickiness to it (like when you pull a slice of pizza and the cheese is pull very long, but not as long and thick. obviously). The soup was ok flavoured but I thought the noodle had no taste, a bit of taste near the end. I guess the noodle didn't soak enough of the soup? My friend said her ramen was salty. Another friend said her ramen was spicy but not overly spicy, just right. The noodle itself, I thought it was just right, not super soft or chewy. The toppings were pretty normal, same as other ramen places.

I thought the restaurant was very Japanese style. they have those clothes at the entrance (I have one for my room too LOL! Not the same pattern though, mine is cuter =D). They have the square thingy in the middle but I didn't really look at it so can't really say anything about it. I actually didn't really look around because I was back facing the whole restaurant. It was ok busy there.

The service, I thought the waitress was very nice and tried her best to answer our questions. However, the cashier lady was no comment. When she brought over the bill, all she said was cash or debit only (Yea, that was one thing I thought was stupid about them, seriously? No credit?). Normally when people bring the bill over, aren't they supposed to say thank you or smile or both? Didn't get any. Then when she came to take the cash away, I said no change, she didn't even say thank you. Not sure what kind of service that is. And no I'm not going back there again.
