Kazan Japanese Ramen

My favourite ramen place! Every time I feel like eating out, I somehow find myself coming back here. There was even one time when I went somewhere else to try a different ramen, but it was so bad that I left it there and came straight back to this place. That’s how much I love their ramen. The ramen is really, really good. This is one of the few places where I genuinely enjoy finishing the broth. The broth doesn’t feel like an oily liquid at all. The flavours are excellent, and I absolutely love their noodles. They are slightly on the thinner side, which is exactly how I like my ramen noodles, while still having a nice bite and texture. I always order the Tori Paitan Ramen Shoyu. The Tantanmen is also really nice if you prefer something slightly spicier. I especially love the minced chicken ball in the ramen. It’s something I distinctly look forward to. I do think the chicken pieces could be cooked a little better, which is why I’m giving one star less. Otherwise, it’s a 5/5 for me. Beyond the food, I really love the ambience. It’s cozy and comfortable. The chopsticks are the perfect length for the bowls, and the little chopstick drawer is both cute and convenient. I also appreciate the open kitchen, which gives me confidence about the hygiene and cleanliness. My only request would be to ensure that every component of the ramen is served nice and hot. I’ve had a few bowls where the minced chicken ball felt cold. I’m not sure if that’s intentional or if it’s supposed to be that way. The soy sauce and sesame seeds available on the side are also a nice touch. Please continue the good work! This is genuinely my go-to ramen place, and I’ll keep coming back.

Mid. I went by the hype and was truly disappointed. I have had much better ramen in other restaurants. My expectations were high going by the rating but no, nothing in the food was satisfactory. We ordered a couple of things and only chicken karage had some saving grace. Ramen had too lil salt, gyoza had too much salt. Rice cakes were also below average. Ramen broth was like turmeric soup.
