Ordered gyoza, shio ramen , shoyu ramen, miso ramen and Tsukenmen for my family. The portion is good, soup is great, prefer to have softer texture noodles.

Read reviews and thought I'd give this place a shot... I am rating this based on my personal experience eating ramen several times in Japan, Vancouver, Calgary and now Victoria! However, I wasn't able to finish this dish. The aroma had a very off smell... And the noodles were nothing special, tasted as if I opened a instant noodle pack..but what brought me to 2 stars was actually the bamboo chunks in the ramen tasted / smelt as if it had went bad.. i wouldn't label this authentic Japanese ramen as the website says

This place was amazing! Went here two times over my weekend stay here and the Spicy Shoyou with chicken broth was amazing both times. First time I ordered with tofu and the second time I ordered with pork. I liked the pork better than the tofu. Staff was lovely, service was quick and portions were huge. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing place for ramen. It's definitely my favorite place in Victoria. I've mostly ordered from home, but since I feel more comfortable now about eating in restaurants again, I figured that I should stop by for a visit finally. Everything tasted fresher and hotter than compared to ordering for home. The service was fantastic, the staff was fantastic. Everything was very clean. I was very impressed and will definitely be back. Thank you.

A well-thought out ramen restaurant. Restaurant is clean and tidy with attentive waitresses. The menu shows a variety of ramen options such as pork, chicken, or clear (vegan?) broth base. There are ones without broth such as tantan, stirred, or rice available. There are also side dishes to compliment to the order or not.Miso pork broth ramen is delicious. The bowl comes with large cuts of BBQ pork, bamboo shoots, finely diced green onion, corn nibs, half of an marinated egg, nori sheet, Japanese seasoning, and a couple more. It isn’t salty. Overall there’s a lot going on with each bite a diner wont be bored of it.On to the didn’t meet expectation part. I may be off but I guess the noodle is generic noodle kind one could purchase from market. Not sure if this has anything to do with the food but I felt super thirsty about two hours after dinning.In general, this place is a nice option for downtown dining.

It was absolutely an amazing and authentic Japanese ramen. When I saw the photos, I thought the noodle was instant noodle, but I was definitely wrong. The noodle was the most authentic ramen noodle I had in the greater Victoria, and the firmness was perfect. Also there soup base, such a creamy and rich pork soup but with the decorations of crispy onions and crispy garlic and a hint of sourness from other ingredients or spices, it was not heavy at all.And you can make it a combo with fried chicken and salad for only 3.5 bucks extra, such a good deal!I will definitely come back and try more.

Casual ramen spot in downtown Victoria. Fast service was a plus. The ramen was great on a cold night. Initially the vegetable toppings were cold on top and that was a bit of a turn off… and the egg wasn’t quite poached correctly. A great ramen spot in town but nothing spoke to me as extraordinary… nonetheless, friendly staff and a filling portion.

Food tastes good, it's just that the chasu (meat) was not hot enough to enjoy. Superb service from the crew.

I cannot in words explain the pure, exquisite and amazing flavours I have just had the luxury to enjoy. I had ordered the “Menbow Black Ramen” with the delicious flavours of black garlic, BBQ pork, mushrooms and narutomaki. The broth is thick, rich, and earthy. The noodles were superb. The toppings perfectly cooked and seasoned.10/10. I will be coming back. I will be referring people. Those people will be referring others.Menbow Ramen, you have yourselves a new regular. Amazingly well done.
