Help me finalize an authentic Japanese Cuisine Restaurant for Ramen and, one or two appetizers. Read below for more context-
I've researched a bunch of places and idk which one to pick. My friend suggested Neon Market. But, the negative comments and their netflix worthy arrogant response made me forget about it. And not to mention, they've some amount fixed for entry.
And then, Azuki or Naru is overrated/hard-to-book.
I've come down to Harima, Matsuri and Daily Sushi.
There's always someone saying something in the reviews that makes me reconsider everything I've researched upon. Daily sushi for example- many praised its pork tonkatsu ramen and then there's one saying how it's not authentic and and broth was terrible and the pork was chewy and so on. Another comment said 'Chicken katsu curry is nothing but maagi masala powder'.
It doesn't have to be a japan-to-Blr-flown-authentic-ramen amount of authenticity but, something nice, something close. We're just visiting Blr for two weeks and, the idea of wasting thousands on a mediocre food is making me step back from it altogether.
I saw other reddit posts and they again have 50 different recommendations. I understand, taste is subjective but, anything delicious, decent enough to give ramen vibes would help. We both love spice as well as the bland savory (OG Indomie for example. It ain't spicy but, we loved it). I'm not sure what more I gotta explain but, yea. Just looking for one nice place to decide on and have a nice bowl of ramen and have a smile at the end.
Also, if the place you're recommending needs reservations or has any other quirks/rules (like Neon Market's minimum entry amount), please lmk. Thanks yall!
