Mentaz Auckland – Wafu Tonkotsu Ramen
Soup 2/5
Extremely oily. As soon as you finish eating there is a layer of fat in your bowl. It also has strong pork smell.
Noodle 3/5
Average thickness. Nothing special. And as you can see on the picture it doesn’t look that great either.
Atmosphere 3/5
It’s situated nicely on Lorne St. Next to Auckland Art Gallery and very central.
Price 3/5
$11 is average in Auckland
It’s unfortunate that Ramen restaurants outside Japan have to cater everything from Sashimi to Donburi as well as Ramen. I know these guys do quite good donburi.
Well it’s a typical case where Ramen restaurant spreading themselves too thin over many kinds of food.
And yes this restaurant would go bankrupt in Japan.
