Mitsuba Ramen Noodle

Only stopped in for a snack while riding the canal. Decently nice interior. Dumplings were perfreakingfect and served in a plastic dish in a very cute little wooden (bamboo?) tray. Lovely people working here. Easily the best chopsticks I’ve ever used at an eatery that’s not a buttondown-n-shinyshoes kind of place. I would not be insulted if they started cheating out on them in the future. They’re not amazing, just way better than I’m used to at order-at-a-counter type places. This was the first of probably a few thousand times that I’m going to have dumplings here mid-ride. I kinda want to have a second order of them. There’s a head shop next door, I just may grab something for my knee ache while I’m here.

I first went to Mitsubishi because I was craving poke bowl I got from NYC. The customized bowl is filling and affordable ($13 before tax). The bubble tea is also good. I didn’t like the ramen, broth was a bit bland for me. I haven’t tried other foods. I’ve always been able to pick up in a reasonable time minus that one time I think they had $200 order before me. That one took them 30 mins to get to my order, but I don’t blame them. Good business is steadily busy. Will try other foods if I feel adventurous enough.

My husband and I were headed up to Syracuse to visit my stepson at LeMoyne and scouted out restaurants before we arrived. Mitsuba Ramen Noodle came up with great reviews and we're always looking for good ramen. The food and the service were excellent! We got pork buns for the table...so yummy and the cucumber added perfect complementary flavor and texture to the meat. My husband and stepson got Tonkotsu Ramen w/Black Garlic Oil and I got the Sapporo Miso Ramen. The ramen were all delicious but I think my Miso broth stole the show. The eggs in the ramen soaked up so much flavor from the oils and broths and were a real highlight. They were out of Rose Milk Tea 😕 but the Coconut Milk Tea was good and they added a lot of tapioca pearls which was a bonus for me. The guys both had Passion Fruit Tea and it had great flavor too. Overall an awesome lunch and bonus that it is a mile and a half from the college...walking distance!

Ordered at counter and waited for about 10 minutes for the pager to go off to pickup the food at counter. Overall everything looked good and the taste was decent. The chicken ramen had a generous portion of tender chicken. The tonkatsu ramen had 2 pieces of pork belly. Not the most tender. Also ordered the KFC. This was decent as well. May have benefited from a little more vegetable in it. Chicken was generous size for the $5.95 price. Only real complaint was the Bubble tea. It didn't come with pearls and was not sweet enough. Other items on the menu included sushi burrito and make your own poke. We didn't try those so no comment.

The KFC steamed bun was delicious and we will definitely order again. The beef ramen was very tasty and the meat was so tender. The pork belly steamed bun was delicious and well seasoned but the pork belly wasn't tender all the way through so we had to cut it and pull.it apart before we could eat it. Only a minor critique otherwise we will definitely back.
