The mazemen was FABULOUS. Chewy noodles; explosion of flavors; great texture from the crunchy kikurage (woodear mushroom) plus the creaminess of the soft boiled egg yoke; kick from the fresh green onions … NICE!
Mazemen Style (Broth-less) Ramen. We were not sure if we would like it while we went for it, but we loved it, wanna try different style of ramen?, go for it. We took the OG Ramen and they made it vegan for us by replacing the meat with impossible meat, which to our surprise was good. Overall it was amazing. Don’t forget to follow the ‘How to eat Mazemen Ramen’ hand out ;) Also, do get the complementary scoop of rice, you will need it to slurp the sauce at the end!! We’ll come back soon to try Donburi and other Ramen! Latest Visit: Now, they are putting everything together if you are ordering togo, so have it soon. Tried Tan Tan this time, liked it better than OG. It comes with spicy powder already. Note: Though they say they are open till 8pm, at times kitchen closes at 7.30pm, so call and check before going there.
Food could use more salt but it was good otherwise. They are open to some substitutes (can’t eat pork). Drinks where good too, would come back
I got the OG deluxe ramen and a side of Karaage Chicken. The brothless ramen was good. But the Karaage chicken was extremely bad. The pieces were too small and were over fried. Hence, the pieces were extremely hard. Due to that, it was not edible at all. They looked like the pieces that get stuck in the fryer and get repeatedly fried. Forget juicy chicken, I could barely taste any chicken. Very bad!!
They specialize in dry ramen. I've tried it once before and it was amazing. We tried their rice bow this time and tbh it was even better. Make sure you get extra chashu
Amazing noodle and rice dishes, and great tea and coffee to wash it down with. The food and drinks are always delicious and consistent, and if you're in the know, you can get the best jerky as well. It's become a favorite spot for my friends and I.
It can be explained as mixed ramen bowl without soup. I tried it one time at Solvang but not so impressed until I tried this. If you can’t stand garlic and onions, it’s a little bit disappointed because it has a lot of garlic and onions. Well, you have options for less, midi or more garlic and onions anyway. One thing I don’t like at most of reman shops is the noodles is very salty, but this is not, it’s smooth and chewy. The sauces going with this is vinegar, perfect sweet and sour to mix with the noodles. You can pour little by little until it reaches your taste. I poured a whole cup into it so it a little bit sour but still very good.
Later in the evening, we were hungry and needed a spot to eat. Kensho popped up and here's what we got: Salmon Ikura donburi and a few different mazemen ramens. Mazemen ramen is a ramen without broth, everything is cooked and then topped as a dry dish. Definitely give it a shot if you've never had it... @phidingthefam
Dropped in to CrossFit Silicon Valley twice during the week I was in the area. Coaches and members were welcoming and engaged. I recommend giving this gym a try. I will be back the next time I am in the area.
This place is such a gem! The food is incredible, atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The pepperoni flatbread with hot honey is really something else. And after a couple visits, honestly I could say the same about everything else we've tried. The owner
My son - 12yo junior hockey player, joined VSS 2 months ago with his team mateâs recommendation. The goal was to improve the strength and speed on the ice, and I already see his progress, that proves the efficiency and effectiveness of this program
