Ramen Ya [cheap and good]

$10 Bento! $10 Ramen! I was very impressed by the quality of food Ramen Ya put forward with just $10. It is almost impossible to spend $10 at other Jap restaurants and get decent quality food. We ordered the chasiu ramen and sukiyaki beef bento - both were very good. The ramen soup was tasty, well seasoned and not as MSG-ful as other places. I usually develop a rash when I drink/eat anything with MSG (Mekong is the worse so far), but hey, this one didn't even make my skin itch! I also wonder if the noodles were hand made because the texture was very 'Q', unlike the ramen noodles we find elsewhere (for e.g. Ajisen Ramen). Similarly, the bento was excellent. Although it is a very simple bento box, the beef had great texture and its flavours were a few levels ahead the stock-standard beef bentos around.

Chasiu Ramen

Sukiyaki Beef Bento - comes with gyoza as a side

Conclusion: If you feel like Ramen or Bento and you want something cheap and descent, Ramen Ya is the place to go! 8/10!
