" I had high hopes for Ramen Kowa given all the rave reviews, but my visit was just okay. The ramen was average and a bit salty for my taste, but the service was friendly and the setting cozy. I'd give it another go to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across Ramen Kowa while searching for lunch options downtown. The katsu curry was delightful, but the ramen portions were on the smaller side compared to what I am used to. Nonetheless, the flavors were sublime. Service was a tad slow, but the staff were friendly. I would return, especially for the curry! " (*Curated Review*)
