Ramen Station offers a unique and immersive dining experience, transporting customers to the heart of Japan. The restaurant's clean and streamlined design, inspired by Japanese transportation, features details such as JR Rail stop announcements played overhead and NHK TV streaming in the back. Customers can enjoy the contactless ordering system, where their receipt number is displayed above the counter and announced on the intercom when their order is ready.
The seating arrangement is reminiscent of Ichiran, with single stalls for a more private dining experience, as well as a few standing spots in the back. Outdoor communal seating is also available, providing a view of the moored ships in the estuary. This unique setup is perfect for lone diners or pairs, though it may not be ideal for groups wanting to converse.
The menu features a variety of ramen dishes, including the popular spicy tan tan deluxe and deluxe tonkatsu ramen. Customers praise the broth for being made to perfection and the noodles for being cooked perfectly. The flavors are described as simple and satisfying, with generous portions considered reasonable at $15. Drinks, including Japanese soda and cold oolong tea, are available through vending machines, enhancing the authentic experience.
While the iPad used for ordering may sometimes malfunction, the service is typically fast and efficient. The overall experience is highly recommended for those seeking a taste of Japan in a fun and unique setting, especially for those who enjoy a quiet meal with minimal human interaction.
