Kyuramen x Aoko Matcha -Toms River
7.0
"Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen: $16.99, 5/10 (my order)
Noodles were good and presentation was cute. The broth, however, lacked flavor imo. It was mostly was slightly thick, slightly salty soup. Had no desire to finish it. The mean though was sooooo good! Little sad about the overall flavor though.
Katsuoboshi Pork Ramen: $16.99, 6.5/10
Better broth than Tokyo Tonkotsu and same overall comments Pork belly in this was amazing and so flavorful.
Shoyu Beef Ramen: $19.99, ???/10
Dad finished this so fast. It must’ve been really good I assume! Def wanna get it next time.
Sapporo Miso Ramen: $17.99, 6/10 (Jaeda’s)
Better broth than the Tokyo Tonkotsu but nothing crazy. Same comments but slightly better flavor overall.
Thai Tea + Pork Bao: $6.99, 8.5/10 each
Cost combo for both. Thai tea was super sweet if you’re into that (I loved it) and Pork Bao was amazing. Tasted like filipino adobo with star anise. Cooked so soft and the sauce it came with was perfect.
Level 1 Matcha: $7,
So overpriced for ONE SCOOP. Very earthy matcha flavor so not my cup of tea. And this was level 1 only, the least earthy one haha. I like more the creamy/sweetness and not too earthy. If you’re into that though this is definitely the place to try! Personally, I prefer Haagen Dazs over this. A little too earthy and pricey for my liking. Would like to try the drinks soon though.
Overall:
AMAZINGLY cute and pretty place but the flavors are not up to par with the looks. Nice place to check out at least once though and I love that Toms River is getting new cool places!" - Jason
