Gung Ho! Dumpling Ramen Bar
Rich, flavourful broths and chewy noodles define the standout ramen dishes, particularly the punchy tri-garlic option and the satisfying Tonkotsu. However, some visitors have encountered disappointing, soggy textures and bland flavours, alongside inconsistent service speeds during less busy periods.
