Food: Repetitive, lack-luster grub

Fukurou Ramen underwhelms in the creativity department, sticking to formulaic and familiar dishes. Yes, you get large portions but the lack of variety across the board is quite disheartening. Complaints about freshness bring to mind stale bread at Thanksgiving - unforgivable. Even their top dishes such as the Spicy Edamame and Pork Gyoza, despite being tasty, scream repetitiveness rather than uniqueness.

  • Great Value

    Customers appreciate the great food quality for affordable prices.

  • Okay Taste

    Decent, enjoyable food, although not the best in town or lacked wow.

  • Low Quality

    Complaints about lack of freshness, noodles not made in-house.

Vibe: Gloomy, silent setting

If you enjoy the smell of damp socks and uncomfortable seating, then you're in for a treat at Fukurou Ramen. The disturbing lack of tunes creates an eerily unnerving silence that simply exacerbates the dim and depressing ambiance. Surely, candles and intimate lighting can only do so much when you feel like you're dining in a dungeon.

  • Great Drinks

    Great beer and sake specials enhance the dining experience

  • Bad Buzz

    Cluttered and oddly decorated, not ideal for a trendy scene.

Perks: Smooth sails, prompt service

The one saving grace comes in the form of perks. No trouble finding a spot for your car or seat for your bottom. Even without reservations, there appears to be a smooth flow to things. And don't belittle the power of a friendly face serving you your food. Instant mood-lifter

  • Great Service

    Service was amazing, friendly, efficient, with very pleasant staff.

  • Okay For Diets

    Vegetarian options sparse but workable, menu has non-vegetarian variety.

  • Bad For Kids

    Tiny menu limits options, possibly not ideal for kids' diverse tastes.
