Pretty mediocre
We were shopping in the mail and decided to check out the food court. It was meatless Saturday so I was hunting for veggie options when I came across Kuro obi.

Kuro-Obi by Ippudo, located in the Hillsdale food court, offers delicious ramen and karaage chicken with rice. The Kuro-obi ramen with pork char sui is a popular choice, though the pork can be a little tough. The special combo is also tasty with an acceptable price. While some find the ramen generic, others consider it really good and satisfying. The karaage rice remains superb, and the takoyaki is noted as good. The service is attentive, with staff providing extra water cups. The food is reliable for shoppers, and the line is not too long, even on weekends, making it a convenient lunch spot.
Recent reviews praise the authentic ramen noodles, though some suggest the pork could be cut thinner. The restaurant has made changes to the menu, returning the original ramen broth and noodles after customer feedback. While the original menu was preferred, the quick response to customer comments is seen as good customer service.
