As promised before, I went to Samurai Bistro today for lunch. We got to the restaurant a bit after noon, but luckily it wasn't too busy. We were able to be seated right away and made our decisions pretty fast.
Johnny and I both ordered the Japanese Style BBQ Pork Ramen - $9.50:
My mom ordered the Spicy Chicken Ramen - $9.50:
Each ramen bowl comes with a crab leg, but I could have done without mine because I definitely didn't touch it.
After slurping away at our ramen, we concluded that the service was good and the noodles were cooked well with the right amount of chewiness, but the soup base was the most disappointing. It was not flavourful at all and tasted extremely bland. I know I eat abnormally salty, but we all agreed it wasn't salty enough, so I know it wasn't just me this time.
Johnny and I decided that the quality of the soup is just as important as, if not more than, the quality of the noodles and this soup was just not satisfying enough.
Overall? It is passable considering we live in Edmonton and ramen places do not come by very often, but it wouldn't be my number one choice. I would probably choose to go for Pho over this purely due to the flavour factor, but try it out and let me know what you think!
