Best KPortal Reviews
I have been here a few times now and it is consistently great. The staff are dedicated and kind. The food is fabulous. The decor is cute and quaint. They are great with kids (even without a kids meal option) and are top notch. I love that this is in lake Nina as there are so few non-chain restaurants and I love that this one is top notch!
The consistency for the soy milk tonkatsu ramen was thick and different. The spicy ramen was delicious and perfect. The pork was super soft and thick. All the appetizer we ordered was crunchy, hot, and delicious. The tomato soup was really different. Unless you love tomato soup, it’s not recommended. The eggs were a bit too well done for the ramen. Really enjoy the service and Kam is an amazing server! Super friendly and took good care of us! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the beautiful wall of butterflies.
My family and I visited this great ramen spot in Lake Nona yesterday. For you ramen lovers, you need to check them out! I opted for the soy milk tonkotsu ramen and it was perfect! The broth was just right- not too salty, the ramen noodles had a good bite and the ajitama eggs were cooked perfectly and oh-so-good. My family also ordered the spicy ramen and black sesame tantanmen which were both great.
They have great appetizers and awesome drinks. The hubby and I enjoyed a pineapple sake, while the boys had some mocktails. I definitely recommend trying them out if you haven’t already. Service is wonderful and servers are knowledgeable and very helpful if you can’t decide what to order.
Super delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and top notch service. I ordered the spicy ramen and it was so good that not only did I finish the whole bowl, I also ordered an extra one to take home for later. 100/100 recommend.
Unfortunately, the ramen was disappointing. We were more impressed by the appetizers. The miso ramen tasted bland, and the tomato tsukemen sounded unique but tasted like straight up tomato soup. The chashu was also sliced oddly thick. Service was very friendly, and prices were reasonable. I think we'll just stick to going to wa sushi and getting the spicy ramen there.
It's always satisfying to watch or look at quality food online, from somewhere afar, maybe even in places across the globe and be able to experience that at an establishment locally. Wa Ramen certainly gave me that fulfillment, and what a gem this place is.
I was made aware of this spot sometime ago by someone and added it to the list of places to visit. Ramen is definitely one of those dishes where you can look at it, and just know if it's going to be good or not, especially when you know what you're looking at and what you're looking for. With that being said, I've been anticipating my first meal here ever since I first took a look at their menu along with photos posted online by previous customers.
For starters, it's not a humongous place at all but it's cozy, quiet and relaxing. The servers were very nice, attentive, and even though I am already very knowledgeable about Japanese cuisine myself, I love to see servers enthusiastically share knowledge about different menu items and terminology.
I walked in with the intent to only order ramen but once presented with the menu, my train of thought changed and I was suddenly in the mood for an appetizer aswell. Feeling conflicted on what to decide on, I actually went with their Berkshire pork sausages, since the last time I had Berkshire pork was back in 2020 up in New York, at a spot that was dedicated to katsu, Katsu-Hama. Berkshire pork is considered to be the wagyu of pork and I'm here to tell you that it couldn't be any more true. Tender, extremely flavorful, and packed with juicy goodness is all that came out of these little things that pair so incredibly well with dijon mustard. I'm glad I made this choice.
Now, onto the main star of the show. What a difficult choice it was to make as every single one of their options just sounded so heavenly but at the end of the day, among all the different types of ramen there is, there is one that holds my heart the most, and so I went with their tonkotsu. What striked me the most leading to this decision was the fact part of the base for their broth is soy milk, which is something quite traditional when making tonkotsu in Japan. It not only adds to the very rich and bold flavor palette you get out of tonkotsu but further contributes to that creaminess tonkotsu is known for. Without much of a wait time whatsoever, this beautiful bowl of heaven was placed before me inside of this very asethetically pleasing bowl. It felt like I was looking at bowl of ramen that I come across in pictures everyday and save on Instagram, posted by food bloggers based out of Japan. In this bowl we have some thick cut menma, bok choy, bean sprouts, negi, an ajitama, and some mouthwatering chashu, in the style I haven't had yet. The unrolled thick cut style that just falls apart the more and more it soaks up the broth it's bathing in. First sip in, I was immediately taken on a dopamine trip. Its like they sent someone to Fukuoka to study and learn at a shop over there, to then come back to give people, especially people like me, the experience and satisfaction without having to book a plane ticket. Rich, creamy, and packed with umami. Thick, firm, kaedama that have a wonderful bite to them, and absorb the flavors really well. This tonkotsu was nothing short of amazing and for me, and a solid 10/10. I will be back, again, and again. As a hardcore Japanese enthusiast, former sushi chef, and former ramen cook, thank you, Wa Ramen.
I recently stopped by this ramen joint, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience! The chicken karaage was fresh and juicy, hitting all the right notes.
I decided to go for the Spicy ramen, and boy, was I impressed! The broth was flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. It was a satisfying bowl of goodness.
Now, onto the black sesame tantanmen. It had potential, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it was missing a little something – maybe some garlic would have done the trick. It wasn't my top pick, but hey, you win some, you lose some.
Overall, this ramen spot is definitely worth a visit for the chicken karaage and the delicious Spicy ramen. Give the black sesame tantanmen a try if you're feeling adventurous, but don't be too disappointed if it's not your favorite. It's all part of the ramen adventure!
I arrived right as they opened as the first customers and was seated. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff was very friendly. I have not had the opportunity to visit Japan, but they claim to make authentic Japanese cuisine. I have tasted others with the same claim and I can say that the unique and subtle flavors do match up. The menu is compact but offers enough choice that one could go many times and experience different flavors, but as the name suggests the specialty is ramen.
I first enjoyed the flight of saki, one of which has become my favorite, also the pinapple infused one, done in house, was exellent. The spicy seafood ramen was my choice and it delivered a deep and rich broth, some of the best mussles and clams I have had in a long time and all the extras that for me make japanese ramen special.
I also had the mochi ice cream, one red bean and one black sesame, both offered a unique, sweet and savory taste. I hope to go again soon, I want to try more of the food and saki.
