During Team Tind’s visit, we kicked things off by indulging in some delectable Thai iced teas. We started off by indulging in their renowned shrimp tempura and popcorn chicken, which were absolutely delicious. For our main course, we indulged in their delectable grilled chicken ramen, complemented by a delightful addition of succulent shrimp and extra half-marinated eggs. And for desserts, we went with their delicious Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly and Matcha Pudding with Red Beans. It surpassed our expectations!
Perfecting Ambiance: Kyuramen’s Secret
Kyuramen has been consistent with the ambiance of each of its restaurants; the décor is influenced by traditional Japanese design principles and natural accents, which the New York Times describes as “a subdued pale wood setting.” Kyuramen wants its food joints to be a spot where people can dissociate from the pangs of today’s daily work ethic and culture. Creating an environment of peace, perfected with delicious bowls of ramen.
The restaurant’s mastery of flavor and efficiency has converted it into a rapidly expanding franchise. In fact, Gary Lin, the owner of this awesome food chain, has stated that he wants the restaurant to become “the Starbucks of ramen.”
