Seeing the good reviews and IG posts, I visited @theramenshop in Newtown, Wellington to sample their homemade ramen noodles 🍜+ @karrage.burger burgers 🍔 range.
Karrage Chicken 🍗 $6.50
The chicken pieces were tender to bite into and not overly greasy. Sauces provide a nice mix of salty and mild/creamy flavours, which taste better for me if you eat each piece with both sauces together. Good value 💵 for the amount you get.
Unami Burger 🐓🍔 $12
The burger was neatly presented when opening the box. Easy to eat and not overly drizzled with mayo. Chicken breast patty was big and crispy to bite into 😋. Only small quirk could be to add more veggies without making the bun soggy like onion 🧅 or pickle slices.
Tokyo Chicken Ramen 🍜 $17.50
Loved the freshness and heat from the fish. The chicken + mild seaweed flavour from the broth was something that I enjoyed. Ramen noodles were long and soft, which made the experience more enjoyable. Great job 👍🏽 , next time I will go for the spicy chicken ramen.
A neat little place in Newtown and it’s no wonder why it loved by foodies, locals, or Wellingtonians.
Their ramen place had that super nice ramen broth smell and made me hungry once we entered. Got the black garlic ramen and the pork was nice and soft. The black garlic was full of flavour and I liked that they put lotus root and bamboo shoot inside, it’s quite different from other ramen places. My friend ordered the Tokyo chicken and I also had some of it. The broth was different from the black garlic one, it was blander and had a strong taste of sprouts. Personally I prefer the black garlic soup more.
The bao we ordered was chicken and mayo. The bao was a bit soggy which disappointed me a bit but the chicken and mayo were nice.
Not traditional in the slightest but homely flavours and innovative. It’s a cosy place I don’t mind going to any day of the week.
