" My experience at Oiistar was mostly good. I had the tonkotsu ramen and loved the broth. Although the service felt slightly rushed at times, the flavors of the food made up for it. I would suggest the pork belly buns for a treat to start. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was hit or miss—while I enjoyed the spicy ramen, the service wasn’t as attentive during the busy hours. The flavors are definitely there, but the execution occasionally falters. I'd still recommend trying this place if you have a craving for ramen! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Oiistar for a casual dinner and was not disappointed! The ramen was rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices. The atmosphere was lively but cozy, making it a great place to relax. I highly recommend trying the spicy garlic ramen—it was just the right level of heat for me. Also, the pork belly buns were a delightful start to the meal! Overall, an excellent dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Oiistar last night, and it was a fantastic experience! The pork belly in my ramen was perfectly cooked and melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the ambiance; it felt authentic and was beautifully decorated. The only downside was that the restaurant was quite busy, but the staff managed to keep things running smoothly.

" Oiistar is the real deal when it comes to ramen! The flavors are authentic, and I love the variety they offer. I sampled the tempura cod bun as well, which was delicious. I did think the prices were on the higher side, but you're definitely paying for quality. Every bite of my ramen was bursting with flavor, and the staff was very friendly! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely little gem for ramen lovers! The soup base had deep, savory flavors, and the noodles had a great texture. I felt the pork portion could’ve been larger considering the price. Still, I have to say I will absolutely return and try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)
