Terakawa Ramen - Philadelphia

I was really excited to go here since I heard a lot of positive things about it by my friends. However, the food did not live up to the hype. The noodles were good, chashu park needed a tad more flavor but was good. The only that wasn't good was the broth the miso was too overpowering and made the broth taste really salty. They may have had a bad day so I'm going to have to give it another shot when I'm next in Philly.Parking: Parking is a pain in the city. Had to park at a paid parking lot several blocks away.

The food here was pretty good. We ordered Charshu Onigiri appetizer, Terakawa Ramen and Karaage Curry Udon. The onigiri has a bit of pork mixed into the rice. The texture was a bit weird, it was really mushy compared to other onigiri I have had. TheTerakawa ramen was pretty good but a bit salty. The ramen was a bit firmer which I do like. The Karaage Curry udon was really good. I do like the curry broth, it was a bit on the sweet side but not overly sweet. We ordered everything as is without modifying the salt level or noodle firmness. Next time I'll ask for less salt in the ramen broth.Parking: Chinatown has paid street parking but it's hard to find a spot with limited parking.

If you’re looking for a good ramen restaurant in Philly, look no further. Walking distance from the Convention Center, Terakawa Ramen is the spot to satisfy your ramen cravings. This was my first time trying a ramen restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed. The location is small and cozy but I can see the wait being very long during peak hours. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The price is affordable and the quality of food is good. I ordered Charshu Onigiri and Shoyu which both was delicious. My friend who accompanied me has a gluten allergy. The staff was very helpful in accommodating and assuring her meal was gluten free. I’m definitely a fan of this location and hope to make my way back there when I visit Philly again.

Added to my list of top ramen and noodle houses. Excellent ramen house. Very flavorful ramen. Good service and cute decor. I especially like the fresh sesame grinder.Food: 5/5

Tasty food and great customer service! My friend and I came here lunch on a Saturday afternoon and left satisfied. The food was tasty, reasonably priced and portioned well. The service was also speedy and the staff was very friendly. It was a bit too much in the beginning (3 different people asked us if we were ready to order within the first 4-5 minutes of us being there; we barely had time to look at the menus and felt rushed) but it got better after we ordered. I think this was a product on the place being busy so they needed to flip tables quickly. Overall, I'd definitely come back!
