I have a feeling I will get some backlash for writing this post. Why? Well let me get my final thoughts on Kawawa out early in this post. Quite simply, I really enjoyed the food and will definitely go back.
Kawawa is located inside Metrotown right beside their All-You-Can-Eat establishment of the same name. Now I know I know, this really isn’t an authentic ramen restaurant. Heck, none of the people that work there are Japanese. But they actually make some of the better non-Downtown non-Japanese-run ramen I’ve ever tasted.
LBF ordered the Beef Tongue (or “beef tough” as it’s written on the menu) and I think it’s around $8-9. It came in their “Japanese Style Broth” which I’ll assume is equivalent to shio. It came with a measly 3 small slices of “beef tough” and indeed it was tough, or so I’m told. The soup however was quite flavorful and the ramen noodles were not bad. Quite al dente.
L ordered Combo A which came with a bowl of ramen in Japanese-style broth and a small bowl of charshu rice, which you will see later. It was $7.95 which is a pretty good deal.
