Menya Raizo Review

I saw this place online with an anniversary special so went with someone, thanks! Their deal was first 25 customer is free and then the rest is 50% off. We only got 50% off since there were lots of people when we got there. We waited for a while, maybe an hour or so. I've actually taken someone to their sister company before.

It was ok size in there, the staff were nice. One girl rushed out of the kitchen or staff place and ran into me after I walked out from washroom.

We got the Umami shoyu with half chicken and pork and Gyokai shoyu with pork ($11.50 +50% each).

My gyokai was not bad. At first I thought it lacked flavour but it was actually ok near the end, I guess it soaked up more of the soup flavour. The broth had a Chinese mushroom taste to me which was nice. Their pork was not bad, very soft and enough fat, ok flavoured. I didn't like these little green clover like stuff, they tasted very grassy to me. Bean sprouts were ok. The ramen texture was just right and our ramen noodle were different. Mine was more wavy and the umami one was more straight and looked a bit thinner.

I thought the broth for umami was better, more flavoured. Someone liked that one more too. We don't recommend getting the chicken as topping unless if you like chicken breast. We both think the pork was better. Nothing special to the chicken but it was very soft and not hard or hard to eat.

We both thought their eggs were different. It had a chewier texture to it and the yolk was more jelly to me. It's not bad though.

Overall, not bad for the promo price. I would think it's a tiny bit pricey if it was regular price just because there weren't much toppings. They have a lot of promo, first time, certain percent off, second time, another percent off and then third time is 50% off. Some people got more toppings and filled it up to the top with that 50% off.
