I took the Unagi Mazemen. The food was delicious. I loved the taste of the unagi. I really love the combination of the fried onion with the ramen. Something I would note on the noodle though is that it is a bit salty, but that might just be my preference. The broth is also not'soupy', it's more like a sauce. They give a great amount in terms of portion. You also get to choose how you would like to cook your egg (cool consideration)

Great Cute Vibe! Small cozy space love it!!! a true hole in the wall type of gem.

I ate a Mazamen so I can't speak for the quality of the broth, But the noodles were amazing & the plate was well executed. Taste was amazing. I liked that they offer you to eat the Egg Raw if you so wish, For the culinary adventurous. & generous optional condiments.

I think the bang for your buck is next to none for this place. You get a nice (not excessive mind you) plate for under 20$

The Service was quick & efficient. Nothing too formal but its to be expected of a small joint like this!

A place I love going to for a good bowl of ramen with my little daughter. Their broth is flavorful & rich, the staff is always friendly, & the place is absolutely adorable. I highly recommend it 🙂.

Kotora Ramen specializes in mazemen, a brothless style of ramen packed with outstanding flavors. Instead of soup, the noodles are served with a rich sauce & toppings that you mix together before eating 🤤

The noodles are thick, chewy, & perfectly coated in the savory sauce. Every bite is rich, comforting, & full of flavor, with toppings that add the perfect texture & balance. Easy to pack to go 🍲

I tried the tonkatsu ramen. The highlights: rich, creamy broth with deep flavor, generous portion, & perfectly chewy noodles that held up well. The chashu was tender & tasty, adding a nice balance to the dish. On the downside, the broth was a bit too salty for my liking, & I wish the egg had a more jammy center. Overall, a satisfying bowl in a cozy setting-definitely worth trying if you're a fan of hearty ramen!

D3, unagi Donburi: 7/10
C'était pas mes meilleurs anguilles mais bon tout de même, les bok choys goûtaient un peu fade, petite portion (parfait pour les petits mangeurs)

Ramens: 7/10
bon broth 👌🏻, viande bonne, nouilles un peu soggy

Over all, bon petit restaurant dans le quartier si on ne veut pas trop se déplacer 🤗
