Oishii ramen

A place for a quick bite to eat. Unfortunately, the yam didn’t meet my expectations — it seemed dry and lacking in flavor to me. The chicken in the soup also felt somewhat tough and difficult to chew, and the overall taste didn’t really appeal to me. Because of this, I wasn’t able to fully enjoy my lunch.

It’s a great atmosphere and setting for large groups. Food comes out fairly quickly. The miso ramen is really tasty but I feel like it could have more protein. The bowl shown was extra chicken (2 more pieces cost $3) so $21.50 for this bowl.

Small and intimate ramen bar with about a dozen seats. Everything was delicious, service unobtrusive and one of those spots run by the whole family, kids included. Would be an excellent date spot or just a quick bite after work!

Found a discrete ramen restaurant right by Magnolia Hotel on Stout downtown. Oishii Ramen was small but had the traditional Japaneses ramen restaurant feel and ambience. The menu was simple with 6 types of ramen, 6 types of appetizers and a fried rice, which made the decision easy. The soup of the tonkotsu ramen was flavorful, the noodles were springy and chewy, the pork belly was well marinated, soft and tasty, and the boiled half egg was delightfully sweet, salty and umami. Overall quite satisfying, certainly worth a detour from the thoroughfare.
