Taro's Ramen

I love that you can just walk in, grab a table and begin ordering. Their electronic ordering system makes this super easy! I ordered the vegan classic ramen and the lotus chips. Both items came out very quick. I found the broth of the vegan classic ramen to be a bit underflavoured but the noodles were nice and chewy and the tofu was beautifully marinated. Generous portion sizes and friendly staff.

I have the feeling that it’s gone a bi downhill since last time I visited. Waiting period was long, and the decor on the walls is quite raw. When it comes to flavour I still think the broth and the cheeks are the best in town. They used to have a less salty option in the app, but I couldn’t find it this time and I certainly felt it. They also charge an extra 10% Saturday, Sunday, which is not common and wasn’t the case before. I give it 3 stars as a wake up call. But if you are around visit them! Your ramen will be great.

This place has very good Ramen. Portions are good size (normal around $16, medium for extra $3.50 and large for extra $5) Taste is superb and service fast and very polite. They also offer take home Ramen (pre-cook 4 portions) for $30 and some Japanese beers and other alcohol. I will definitely come again.

Taros may not be everyone’s favourite but it is and will always be my No.1 ❤️ I’m hyper sensitive to MSG but I never had any bad reactions from Taro’s Ramen. I had ramen elsewhere and I can definitely tell there’s msg added although some places boasted no msg added in their ramen, it more or less contained in the condiments and toppings etc. Taro has the best ingredients and amazing broth. They also provide creative monthly specials and those always keep me coming back for new surprises. I can see reviews vary a lot here on Google, I guess everyone has different taste buds. I’m totally biased not just because it’s literally round the corner of mine 😂 Taro’s also holds sentimental value to me as I met someone special at their Ascot restaurant for the first date. Although we no longer see each other ever again, I still want you to have the best ramen, just not at my table.
