" I enjoyed my visit to Ramen Kowa. The hot broth really hit the spot, but I found the noodles slightly undercooked. The agedashi tofu was nice, but they could improve with more creativity in the menu. Still, I left with a satisfied appetite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and welcoming ambiance! I loved the tonkatsu ramen; the broth was flavorful. One minor issue was the wait time, which felt lengthy, but the waiting staff made it worth it with their top-notch service. I'd recommend this spot for those craving authentic Japanese flavors. " (*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*)

" Just had an incredible meal here. The gyoza was perfect for an appetizer, and both the ramen and curry were exceptionally good! The service was really prompt, and the place was clean. I'm thrilled to have found this spot! " (*Curated Review*)
