Agu Ramen Rates a 10
Walking along the busy street of Ward Avenue, one may find the tiny ramen restaurant fully packed with guests eager to order oodles of ramen noodles. By 6:30pm, the restaurant has already accumulated a lengthy waiting-list and with limited seating, some may begin to feel impatient. Loose no hope, the 10 to 15 minute wait is well worth while for the flavorful ramen and soup base Agu Ramen is known for and the indoor décor that appeals to almost everyone! The openness of this tiny location makes the space appear larger than its outside counterparts, alternatively this calls for loud chit-chat and inaudible conversations due to the compact surrounding environment. After being seated on a table closest to the window, we found the menu to be quite simple and straightforward, giving us a short time to ponder on what to eat. Spicy Koteri for myself (Michelle) and Jadyne, Agu's Parmesan Ramen for Emily, and the Bari Kote ramen for Estelle. Shortly after, the savory aroma of our dishes tug at our nose and we begin to dig into the oodles of noodles in front of us. Tears began to roll down as the heat kicked in for me, Jadyne's reaction completely opposite, Emily's so-and-so reaction to the blob of cheese that has melted in the center of her bowl, and Estelle's satisfied reaction as we all slurp away. At last, we devour every thing that is left in the bowl before receiving the check and overviewing our delightful experience. Overall, Agu Ramen rates a 10 with the great quality of ramen and inviting atmosphere. Would we come here again? You bet your noodles we will!
