Kopan Ramen

Good ramen overall. Lots of ingredients and the noodles are done well without it being too soft or too chewy. The broth is so rich and tasty. And the potions are big enough to make you feel satisfied. They have sushi roll specialswhere you buy one and get one for 50% off. The rolls are decent, but it's their ramen that's the go-to item. Try their tokatsu ramen with black truffle oil. So good!

Our Cali friends took us here for dinner and we can see why it's one of their favorite ramen places. It was pretty packed when we got there that we had to put our name on a waiting list. More people even came after us that the waiting area was spilling right out the door (we were a larger party with 4 adults and 3 babies). It took maybe a little under 10 minutes when they were able to seat us. The place is pretty hip and trendy, mostly attracting the Asian demographic. They have a sushi bar but only one sushi chef working that night. We only found this out when our friend's poke bowl took a long time to be made (but more on that later). Our server, Andi, took great care of us. She greeted us in a courteous manner and was also very attentive with us. She even brought out water for us AND the little boys almost right away. She gave us a decent amount of time to check out the menu (especially since this was the first time for us out-of-towners) and was even helpful in answering any of our questions. For our order, we got a variety of things and I only took pictures of 2 things, haha! We were so hungry we dug into the food as soon as it was placed on the table. We got the sesame chicken and beef gyoza apps to share. The sesame chicken are small fried pieces of boneless chicken with a side of the sweet chili sauce. The gyoza came with a dipping sauce was also pretty delicious. I got the beef bowl which came with rice and a small little "salad" off to the side, which was only about $6! You could also get, either 4 pieces of sushi for about $3-4 or a whole roll averaging around $10! My husband got the ramen and chose the fatty pork, soft boiled egg on the side in mild soup base. He even got the eel and avocado roll. The food came out at an average pace... With an exception of our friend's poke bowl. When everyone pretty much got their food, our friend was sitting and waiting for his food. When he caught Andi's attention and asked about the poke be bowl, she apologized for the slowness and explained that there was only one sushi chef working at the sushi bar but that his order was in cue. I think after we got our food it took maybe just under 10 min for our friend to finally get his poke bowl. Andi again apologized for the delay and even gave us a discount on the poke bowl at the end of our meal. That itself shows good customer service and they care about the quality of their service. This is how you keep customers coming back as regulars!
