Another must try is their Wagyu Beef Bun. You can now enjoy the juicy wagyu beef patty which is perfectly marinated in the special sauce and they served with lettuce and cheese in a steamed bun. They are just so good and the meat is so juicy!
When BabySumoKids crave for ramen, Ippudo in The Gardens Mall is the place we would choose to go to. This visit, we ordered two full bowl sets, whereby you can choose from five types of ramen, and also from two appetizer sets
Having been around here for some time now, recently another new menu has been introduced to titillate Japanese ramen fans on top of its existing menu. Let’s have a quick rundown of what could be expected from the latest addition.
Overall, we enjoyed the two ramen bowls here and would return again to try their other offerings.
We had the Shiro (ori) and Koro (squid ink) – the tonkotsu broth – supposedly boiled for 36 hours or more – for both were hearty, full-bodied and packed with flavour and depth – definitely not for the faint-hearted. For RM31.20 you get 2 sizable slabs of chashu, an egg, fungus, seaweed and spring onion – in other words, the works, including a cup of oolong tea. It’s RM39 for Tsukemen which has chewier, denser noodles.
This is undeniably a great bowl of ramen. You don’t get ginormous queues like Kanbe does if the food isn’t extraordinary. Every bowl is crafted by the person ordering it. The other ramen shops I’ve been to only allow you to choose what type of flavoured oil you want, and most times there are only about four options! Kanbe, however, allows for all sorts of adjustments, many of which do not require an extra surcharge. I love the additional freebies, like the bottomless veggies and tea. The tea is a small touch but makes a difference. Drinking plain water with ramen just doesn’t taste as good.
Being one of the legendary Japanese ramen establishments well-known worldwide, Ippudo certainly doesn’t go famous for no reason. Thick, cloudy white, flavourful signature tonkotsu broth immersed with thin, springy ramen, topped with beautifully done egg with runny egg yolk and delicious meat slices – a gracious bowl of Ippudo ramen always brings satisfaction in every slurp.
Reasons to visit: superb Japanese cuisine with a twist and a quality drink menu to back it up; the premium IPPUDO outlet in Malaysia has dishes only found in this location; don’t miss the Kogashi Miso Ramen, Gindara Saikyo Miso Yaki and the Yokubari Maki.
Shortly after the introduction of new menu; Karaka-men the night before at The Gardens Mall, our taste buds was again amusingly tickled at its BSC’s outlet with another new kid of the block- Mazesoba!
Ordered pork tomahawk ramen. Should have shown the whole pork tomahawk instrad of letting part of it be hidden in the broth.
Pork Katsu Curry Ramen, 26.80 ringgit I like them Japanese curry and so it wouldn’t be much of a surprise that I loved this dish. It sure did come with plenty of that thick, flavorful gravy. The fried pork katsu was crispy, chewy, provided a contrasting texture to an overall soupy dish. Once the katsu gets dipped into that curry, it gets a lil soggy but it sure was delicious. There was a nice portion of ramen, some pickled vegetables and potato cubes. Overall a good wholesome dish.
Overall, I find this shop nothing to shout about, as social media did build my expectation up. Hence visiting with a certain expectation is bad. Maybe will give them another chance few months later. Believe there are a lot better ramen in KL over this. (but again, it is fusion – so cant expect much)
None of the ramen really appealed to us except for the Gekihara Ramen @ RM18. It’s supposed to be an ultra-spicy ramen but the spiciness is actually just right. If the noodle gets any spicier I don’t think it would taste very nice.
1 review of Ramen Izakaya Kazushi "This place has one of the best chicken curry katusu don i've ever had in KL!!! I always ask for extra curry sauce as I like my rice soaked in curry. A great place for lunch (try their value-for-money lunch sets)…
SLURP. Delicious. A generous portion noodles, soup, seaweed, ginger, tamago, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
They comes in great choices of flavor like Karamiso ramen,Kurogoma Tan Tan men, Tonikotsu ramen,Shio ramen,Ebi Shio ramen,Tsukemen,Chiba Tokusei and their signature dish which is Tonkotsu Ramen all very delicious oh ,Must Try !!
虽然店家位置有点偏僻, 但是胜在价钱够便宜用料够实在, 绝对会再来的!
TKG Rice. We love the TKG Rice where the bowl of hearty rice comes with sunshine egg and soy sauce with some shredded seaweed with it. Yummz!
Verdict: Pretty decent! We like their 1.1mm Hoso noodles, springy and chewy. In fact, it stills hold up to its texture, not turning soggy even after we spent some time on taking pictures.
Don Kotz Ramen Slury-licious special 1.1mm Hoso noodles is mouthwateringly served with Aori Ramen’s saporous soup, accompanied by toppings such as marinated barbecued pork, soft boiled egg, dried seaweed, bamboo shoot, Korean leek kimchi and beansprout.
Still, I will probably visit this place again.
♥Verdict: Safe to say that, Menya Hanabi’s Mazesoba worth a try if you’re skeptical like me. But I can’t say the same to the soup Ramen, we’ve had a better ones elsewhere.
Verdict: Portion was slightly smaller than usual and the exclusion of Ajitama as default toppings for Ramen is rather unacceptable for me. Taste wise, the Ramen at Ken Shin-Ryu definitely scored up to my expectation, if I had to comment, it would be the Tonkotsu broth which was kind of too thick for me.
Generally, there’s good ramen to be had here. I’ve conceded there’s no ‘best bowl of ramen’ as it all depends on personal preference. Some may like a more full-bodied broth, or perhaps lighter, different kind of noodles or other details. If I’m in the vicinity, this is where I’ll go for a bowl of ramen to savour the great quality, well-made textured noodles.
Yi Pin Ramen has opened for over one year at EkoCheras Mall Cheras and they are still going strong with their loyal customers. If you are in EkoCheras Mall, you can visit them for some good homemade ramen.
Verdict:To be honest, I wouldn’t say Menzo Japanese Ramen is my favourite ramen place but certainly worth trying.
Classic Pork Broth Ramen @ RM 21 as the pork broth that had cook more than 15 hours. Love the solid taste of it. Flavourful with pork bone and ramen texture is just right.
Verdict: Affordable and comfortable. I would’t say this place is fantastic, but good enough as a full meal that can be enjoyed frequently.
Verdict: We love Ichikakuya Yokohama Iekei Ramen! Soup is really nice, better if they could give more. Summergirl likes the gyoza but Summerkid doesn’t, personal taste maybe
Tonkotsu Ramen 豚骨拉麵
这里吸引我的地方是竟然是拉面配搭烤肋排,我也是因为听说他们有烤肋排拉面,我来这里尝尝
That was a good lunch, our ramen craving appeased, we left happy!
Unlike its counterparts, Bari-Uma has an affordable menu but persistently serving authentic and addictive ramen.
There are several lunch set options, but the star of the show is the Bari-Uma: Ramen in pork flavoured shoyu soup with thick-cut flamed chashu. The set (RM29.90) comes with edamame, two pieces of pan-fried chicken gyoza and green tea. The soup is made from herbs, pork bones, chicken feet, high quality soy sauce and other ingredients, boiled for over 10 hours to extract maximum flavour. The result is a super rich, creamy and thick broth, which diners will slurp to the last drop. The ramen is fresh and springy as well, with just the right amount of al dente bite, and the thick cut chasu had a smokey, slightly charred taste, with a good balance between the lean and fat.
Heavy taste ramen.
Overall lunch experience here at Menya Miyabi did not leave a good impression.
We ordered one of their best seller ramen “Miyabi Shoyu Ramen” RM23.50 serves in a thick brownish soup made with fermented soybean, ramen noodles, braised eggs, char siew, and flavored bamboo shoots. We are rather surprised to find out that the ramen noodle used is dan-dan noodles (担担面) which produces chewier texture, soyu broth tasted like being stir-fried before, very enriched with the fragrant aroma from the wok (锅气). The Miyabi Shoyu Ramen was delicious except the aftertaste for being too salty, the chef might have neglected that we do not have the winter season (heavy flavor) in our country perhaps? 😉
Does Ippudo have the best ramen I’ve tasted? No. I think that still goes to Menya Shishido for me (although I can’t say it tastes the same now, since they moved somewhere new and I haven’t been to the new place yet). But it certainly is one of the top ones on my list, and worth a little splurging at RM37 per bowl. The only con I can think of: because the outlet has such high traffic, you do feel a little harried to finish up your food ASAP to make way for other diners – they cleared my bowl almost immediately after I finished up my soup, and I felt compelled to gulp down my green tea because customers waiting outside were staring at me balefully like VACATE YOUR DAMN SEAT 😛
Ippudo Ramen is one of the famous ramen in Japan! Established back in 1985 from Fukuoka City, Ippudo is now having many outlet around the world such as Malay...
Asides the Kuro Shoyi Ramen are served with the light and flavourful chicken shoyu broth with the dark soy sauce with it. It is topped with the assorted vegetables, grilled pork belly, bamboo shoots and the onsen tamago with it. Deliciously done!
Verdict: Overall the ramen is nice with an intense broth They are mostly famous for their Cheese tsukemen Service was lacking and their app isn't very helpful in terms of ordering the food.
Verdict: We were largely contented with our meal at Mitsuyado Seimen. A well worth checking out for noodles devotees.
The basic Tsukemen, which is known as hiyamori is one variety where the Ramen is served slightly chilled and compliments with warm soup. Mitsuyado continuously invents new recipe, to cater for the vast customers’ combination preferences, using different temperature in boiling and rinsing of the noodles. Therefore, Mitsuyado has become the pioneer in the arena of Tsukemen to offer noodles in 4 different temperatures!
