"Seedy Alleyways Normally Lead to Good Food"

Greetings Avid Readers,

2011.06.14

"Ramen Kan
Level 1, 90 Hay St
Haymarket NSW 2000
(02) 9211 6677"

This is what we had:
Lunch A Special - $14.90 each
which is a 'Normal' sized bowl of Ramen with a choice of a side

Steven and I ordered a Lunch A each.

Ramen
standard half egg, shallots and slice of pork

Side (mine)
Kaisen - which is diced sashimi salmon and tuna
with rice base and Japanese mayonnaise

Side (Steven's)
Karaage - which is karaage chicken with
Japanese Mayonnaise and rice base

At anytime I go to Ramen-Kan, the food is normally decent and satisfying in amount as well.The only let down to this place is that you have to search for the tiny opening that leads to a shifty alleyway and finally traveling up a seemingly unreliable elevator with sticky-taped directions to find the actual restaurant. Whilst the journey is painful, the destination is a well lit, cosy and busy restaurant. This conjures a mysterious and secretive ambiance. Plus, you get the view (if I can call it a view) of Paddy's Market. The service is good, rushing to take my order several times before I even made up my mind. Overall good,  but sometimes I wish waiters/waitresses' at these places had better English...The value is comme ci, comme ca (Surprisingly I only learnt what that meant yesterday), I could probably find better Ramen for cheaper somewhere.

LEON-O-METRE:

• Food:         7 / 10
• Ambiance:  6 / 10
• Service:      7 / 10
• Value:        6  / 10

Anyway, that's all for now.
Keep Reading. Continue Enjoying.
Love Leona
