Za-ya Ramen - Broad Channel

Perhaps the most disappointing bowl of ramen I’ve had. The portion was very small and didn’t appear at all like the image on their website. The flavor was very unremarkable and the noodles tasted like something from an instant package. This place has great reviews. Perhaps the dine-in experience is much superior?

We had the miso veggie ramen for delivery and the broth was just very bland and and had a faint banana flavor which is really weird.

The only decent part of our order was the chicken karaage, which was also kind of bland but was edible with the sauce. Probably the worst ramen I’ve had by far.
