Menya Jiro

It's finally open and was worth the wait! Where I live, there was no good ramen nearby without having to drive at least 40-60 minutes to Brookline/Boston. Menya Jiro is as good as the popular ramen places downtown and maybe even better because of the wide variety of foods on their menu. I came in for a quick lunch on a Monday and was seated promptly. Ordered the ibusuki ramen with a seasoned egg. The chasu, noodles, and broth were all excellent. Portion size and price were reasonable. Service was friendly. The restaurant is also family friendly and they have highchairs so I'm excited to return with my toddler. I also appreciate that they do takeout when so many ramen places don't allow it because they want the noodles to be eaten fresh, but I'm of the thought that if people are willing to pay for it even if it's less good that way just let them have it and this place does that! Looking forward to being a regular customer here. Keep up the good work!

The ramen and karaage slaps, the yakitori wasn't very good but I went a day after they opened. Might get better with time.
