cafe brown

I've ordered from Cafe Brown twice now, once in-person, once from Door Dash.

First time, I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. While the flavor was okay and the pork pieces was yummy, the broth has some weird granuals floating in it, makes me wonder if the broth is made from scratch or if they use some instant mix. Noodles were solidly clumped together, even letting them soak in the broth for awhile didn't help, had to use my chopsticks to pry it apart. Boba was good.

Second order from Doordash: ordered the Shoyu Ramen this time to avoid the granuals. Paid $4.50 for extra pork. Order arrived, open it up: no extra pork, only the standard 2 pieces. The two pieces it came with were small and 99% fat, barely a stripe of meat. Pork belly IS naturally fatty, but this was nearly ALL fat. To be shorted what I ordered and then to have what I ordered be just okay was a disappointment. For almost $24 for a single bowl of soup, I expect better. Boba was good.

Will not be ordering again.

Really cute Asian restaurant in Lakewood. The inside is super clean and well decorated. I had the ramen and it was a large portion and tasted good. The k-dog was also really flavorful, the breading was a little thick though. The sushi looked delicious so I will have to go back and try it next time.
