Quick Chinese/Japanese in downtown - Momotaro Ramen
Author: admin | Category: Recommended for tourists, Restaurant review, Top pick for touristsIt’s been more than 2 years ago when I read the first acknowledgements about Momotaro Ramen which captured my imagination through its originality and good value aspects, according to the late matula.hu fanzine. 2 years used to be more than sufficient with Budapest standards to experience major degradation in food and service and general quality decrease in any restaurant in Budapest but I have good news: despite some minor faults Momotaro Ramen is still an authentic place to eat relatively quickly.
The interior remained unchanged since the socialist era and the service is a bit old-fashioned too (in Hungary it means harsh).
Portions are huge, the only disappointment was frozen sea-food mix used for the soup.
Due to its quality, location and affordability I’d recommend this place to tourists and locals, those who are looking for authenticity in eastern cuisine.
