West Side Ramen offers a unique fusion of Japanese and American cuisine. The service is praised as attentive and friendly, while the food is described as excellent, well-priced, and delightful. Customers recommend the tonkatsu sandwich, smash burger, chopped cheese, and Big Mac egg rolls with the special sauce. The lively atmosphere and background music create an enjoyable dining experience.
The restaurant has a great bar menu and cool vibes. Some customers have experienced stomach issues after eating there, but the pork buns are great, though the ramen is only so-so. It's more of a fusion restaurant, so it's better to go for the bao and drinks than the ramen.
The service is excellent, but the food quality can be inconsistent. The shrimp bao buns have good flavor, but the buns themselves may be stale or not great. The pork belly ramen has great noodles and broth, but the pork itself can be bland and not of the best quality. Drinks are also reported to be expensive, and the Sapporo on draft may need some line cleaning.
Despite the mixed reviews, the restaurant is known for its incredible flavors. Reservations are a must, and customers should be prepared to take their time and enjoy each bite as an experience.
