Kawa 18 Ramen

I’ve driven past this establishment several times and I finally had the chance to dine here. I hate to admit it, but the food was just ok. The broth at the end had a certain taste to it and I couldn’t finish it off. The ramen noodles themselves were good, the portion was very generous, and the chicken was very tasty. So overall the plate wasn’t horrible, but the broth really turned me off. The Thai tea was good, but the boba itself was old. They were hard and I couldn’t eat them, which sucks since I believe they charge for it. The service was very good though. The girl at the counter was very friendly and provided exceptional service. I do like that they have a self serve water station, but please keep it full if people are in the restaurant 😅.

This was disgusting . Pork was tough and chewy, noodles have a weird taste. I couldn’t even finish it. The only good thing was tbe eggs. The Bro was barely passable that was $14 wasted I will never go back to this place again. Oh my God I have to go brush my teeth. I’m not even exaggerating.

Waited an extra 20 minutes and got the smallest portion of food after they specifically said that they gave extra for the wait. I’ve been here about 7 times and never got a portion this bad until now. Makes sense why they’re selling the place, they aren’t good at what they do anymore …

It was 12pm on Sunday, Jan 4. I was looking forward to having a bowl of ramen. I showed up and noticed that the lights inside the establishment were off. I tried the door. It was locked and no one was inside. I look at Kawa 18's business hours notice pasted next to the front door. It said "Sun 11:00am to 9:30pm". Therefore, they should be already opened for business for an hour. What a pity. I checked Kawa 18's website. There were no announcements that it would be closed on Sunday, Jan 4. That mean Kawa 18 lied about their business hours, or maybe they were lazy. I do not recommend this place.

I wanted to share some thoughts on the importance of reviews in guiding dining choices. While I haven’t personally dined at this restaurant, I was influenced by several reviews that highlighted inconsistent quality, particularly with their ramen. In an area where ramen options are limited, it’s crucial for restaurants to pay attention to feedback and strive for authenticity and quality. This review is intended to highlight how valuable feedback is for businesses and how it can help them improve. In today’s economy, dining out is a luxury, and it’s important for restaurants to use reviews as a tool for growth and ensuring positive experiences for guests.
