Only Hanson and Jess stayed after the game to go to\u00a0dinner with me. I suggested G-men Ramen Shop<\/a>\u00a0 because I had never been to the place. \u00a0Knowing that G-men is linked to great Japanese spots like Gyo-O<\/a> and Gyoza King<\/a>,\u00a0I tried to convince my regular badminton buddies to go here, \u00a0but somehow it always fell through.<\/p>\n The restaurant is on Alexandra Road, the Asian foodie central in Richmond, and the public parking lot here is usually\u00a0full. \u00a0\u00a0But you can find street parking here which\u00a0not outrageously expensive ($2.50\/hr). Although it was a Monday night, we still had to wait 10 minutes to get a table. 7 – 8pm is definitely the\u00a0peak of their dinner service time. Once seated, we didn’t waste much time on ordering food \u00a0because we were starving!<\/p>\n We \u00a0shared the Chicken Karaage<\/strong> ($11.95 for 9pc), and it was fantastic. The fried chicken skin was crispy, and the meat was tender and moist. \u00a0I like the simple approach on the seasoning – very light on the spices but not bland at all, finished with a bit salt and served with a wedge of lemon. \u00a0The dinner took\u00a0off with\u00a0a good start.<\/p>\n I asked for extra BBQ pork<\/strong> ($3) for my Shio Ramen<\/strong> ($8.95 ). I liked how the pork bone broth was\u00a0warm and creamy but not too greasy. The pork had some good flavour from the marbling. The thin noodles were perfectly cooked, and had a slightly chewy texture which I enjoyed. It was a very solid bowl of ramen!<\/p>\n Jess enjoyed her Miso Ramen with Ajitama<\/strong> (soft boiled egg) ($11). The portion is quite big and she finished the whole thing. It must be a really good work out for her.<\/p>\n If you a fan of peanut sauce, you gotta try the Tan Tan Men<\/strong> ($10.25) here. \u00a0Hanson ordered it and savoured every single bite! \u00a0I tried the broth and was impressed how rich and delicious it was.<\/p>\n We also tried the Gyoza<\/strong> ($6.25 for 6pc). Our gyoza expert Hanson thought the bottom skin of the dumplings could be crispier as he was comparing them to the ones at Gyoza Bar<\/a>. \u00a0Flavour wise, those dumplings were terrific for me and I would definitely get them again.<\/p>\n I was quite satisfied with the food\u00a0at G-Men. The ramen noodle soup was quite solid with a rich broth and toothsome noodles. Their staple small\u00a0dishes, such as the Chicken Karaage and the Gyoza, scored high marks for me as well. In fact for their sizeable list of interesting small dishes, I would like to come back here for an izakaya night if I’m craving for sake.<\/p>\n Website and menu:<\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/g-ramen.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n More reviews:<\/strong> Location:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\""chicken](\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/image-16.jpeg\")
