    Happy vegan after eating at Dashi. I was in search of vegan food walking distance in Ocean Park. I couldn't find much, adjusted my search to vegetarian and came across Dashi. I called and spoke with Juan Carlos. I asked about vegetarian and vegan options, and he was generous in offering to modify any of their dishes to make them vegan. I had the veggie gyoza which are made with vegan wrappers and we modified the veggie ramen to remove the egg and double all the veggies + tofu. Juan Carlos and the team went above & beyond to ensure I had an excellent dining experience. I was a happy vegan at Dashi!!

    My vegetarian family of 3 came to Dashi Ramen and we got their furi fries with delish wasabi dipping sauce, veggie ramen and mango ice cream with mochi. Everything was absolutely delicious. What made our experience better was the extremely kind and caring server, Monica. She made us feel welcomed and suggested a different sauce to the ramen that would be more complimentary than the original one we were looking for. Highly recommend you come here. One ramen bowl could be split between 2 kids.

    The Yakisoba is delicious.

    I loved the yakisoba here. It was the best I've had in Puerto Rico. The gyoza was also very tasty. Service was excellent. Will definitely return.

    While in the island for a business trip, found this ramen noodles place in Calle Loiza (Calma Street now Ismael Rivera). Coming from NYC I've known about ramen noodles for a while now. My first impression of the restaurant. It seemed they recently opened. It smelled like brand new. (It was). The staff was very attentive, cordial and knowledgeable. I was surprised seeing plenty of activity since it had been recently opened. This place have nothing to envy of other ramen places in NYC. The food was excellent. I had the Tonkotsu and my friend had the Yakisoba. We both left the restaurant very impressed. Prices were also very reasonable. Thumbs up for Dashi Ramen in Calle Loiza. We will be back.

    Your call.   Appetizing and proper looking.  Tip, molten egg apperance

    Ok. I'm gonna try to be objective and not so objective. If your Ramen game is on the level of big cities with healthy Asian area, LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, ect; you will be disappointed. Otherwise you my think it's OK. The key to Ramen's heart is the broth. You can tell if the broth had been developed over years and made over hours or even days per batch. This is lacking here. Now for the non objective part which takes my 3 to 2 starts is location. It's in a difficult area to get to. I drive from Old SJ. There is literally no parking opportunity when you get there. Except glfor a couple sketchy spots that you park half on sidewalk. This was a major noodle limper for me. Now for a non non objective part.. suddenly there was stirring at the door with the proprietor and cops. They are ticketing said sketchy spots earlier. One was mine. My gut was telling me there is some relationship between cops and proprietor. Again. Non non objective. I'm giving information, you choose what to do with it. This has been an honest gutsy review. The parking ticket is $200. Now I've been many places in the worls; I've never had a 3 digit parking ticket. When the cops left I asked the proprietor how much they think the ticket will be. They said about $200. Just presenting information here. Your call.

    I came to Puerto Rico wanting to stick to authentic local food, but I was convinced to try this…read morespot and I have to admit, it was surprisingly good. Parking is a bit of a downside since there isn't much available, so I had to pay for parking. Once inside, though, everything moved incredibly fast. I got my food in less than 10 minutes, which is probably the fastest I've ever been served at a restaurant. It almost made me question how fresh it was, but after eating, I can say it was actually very good. I ordered the grilled white fish with lemon and egg fried rice with yum yum sauce on the side, plus shrimp tempura sushi to go. The yum yum sauce tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, but when I mixed it with the fried rice, it was really, really good. The fish itself was tasty but needed more salt I ended up adding salt and squeezing lime over it to bring out the flavor. It seemed like it was only seasoned during marination and not finished properly. The salad wasn't anything special, but overall, for how quickly the food came out, the quality was impressive. Portions are generous, and the pricing matches what you get. We came around midnight and left close to 1 AM when they were closing. The place looked packed, but service was still quick and efficient. Our server was okay--nothing standout, but no issues either. Overall, I'd come back. Fast service, solid food, and a good late-night option.

    The Chinese foods here are good. The Lo Mein was very delicious. Plenty of seating was available…read moreand we walked in. It was a clean place with decent ambience.' The sushi rolls left a lot to be desired for - the one with the beef in it wasn't quite good. We only ate a piece of it. The crab Rangoons were decent - nothing to write home about. The service could have been better - even with such few people in the restaurant we were waiting many times for service, water, cheque etc.

We all went with bento boxes from their lunch menu. Mine was with king Pao chicken. Bento boxes come with meat of your choice, fried rice, salad, 4 pieces of California Roll, and miso soup. Overall, it was good. Nothing great, but satisfying. The California rolls unfortunately came apart easily. Maybe should have gone with noodles as their name suggests is their forte? Maybe another time. Service was so-so.

Crispy outside, but the inside could have been hotter. The ramen noodle options are rice noodles, egg noodles or upon. The soup base offering was Tonkatsu, spicy and a third That I don't remember. There are a variety of protein options, we selected char siu in the spicy soup with egg noodles. The base was delicious, I wish they had accomplished the spicyness through a vehicle/mechanism other than red pepper flakes. That said it delivered on flavor. It included thinlysliced fish cakes, corn, chopped green onions and an egg. The soup was temperature hot, the noodles were wonderfully chewy. The menu options were plentiful, including sushi. They were not overrun, five tables were occupied. The dishes that were passing by, look very appetizing. They seem to do a brisk takeout business, which. Give them a try, we certainly plan on patronizing them again.

    let me begin by saying i had the absolute pleasure of having NAOMI as my server, and she made my…read morenight very special. boy does she know her stuff! she gave me amazing recommendations and knew everything about every single wine that came in my wine pairing. she even threw in a few fun & interesting facts! as for the restaurant itself, there is no a la carte optikn, just a 5 course meal, but you are able to choose which dish you want for each course... with the exception of the navy bean soup which automatically comes as your 2nd course, but rightfully so! a creamy navy bean texture with pork flavors and truffle sprinkled on top makes a fantastic soup! another standout dish for me was my 3rd plate: rabbit with kale pasta and mushrooms. the flavor that bursts out from a bite of the mushroom complements the rabbit perfectly and the al dente texture of the kale pasta really rounds out the dish. i highly recommend the wine pairing, especially for this dish, as it comes with a gamay that really pairs well with the rabbit flavor. the highlight of the night was the chocolate cake i ordered for dessert. i am biased because i have a big sweet tooth, but it may have been the most amazing dessert ive ever had in my life. overall, a 5 star experience that i will be bringing everyone back to again and again.

    We came here for a birthday and dont regret it at all. Everything was great about this restaurant…read morefrom the atmosphere to the food. Its a fine dining restaurant so the restaurant is really upscale but they also made the restaurant a bit cozy at the same time. The service was amazing as well. Im sorry I forgot his name but he paid really good attention and constantly checked on us especially for my allergies. The food was some of the most delicious food ive ever tasted, especially the risotto (10/10). There was one dish that my girlfriend didnt like but they went immediately to get her something new. Im only giving a 4 star because the dessert i had did have something I was allergic to despite reassurance which cause swollen lips and throwing up outside. Im not sure if the dessert was pre-made but having the allergens directly on the menu may help. Otherwise I completely recommend trying here.

Normally,…read morewe would never pay $16 for pho or pad Thai but we are on vacation and acknowledge the high cost of living here. It's certainly not the best pho or pad Thai we've ever had but it is solid. My pho had a generous amount of herbs and bean sprouts and the pad Thai didn't have the strong tamarind and peanut flavor that I am used to but was still acceptable. This satisfied our craving for Asian food nicely.

    I'm glad this place exists but it's far from perfect. I actually ate here and the Chinese place…read moreright across from it since a friend said the owners were the same. At the Noodle Merchant, I tried their chicken wings and dumplings. The wings were fried nicely but I didn't like the filling inside of the dumplings. It tasted too mushy for my liking. At Himalaya's, I had their seafood hot pot. All of the seafood was not fresh, but that may be because of the hurricane. I didn't like how the hot pot was just full of sauce. If it were some kind of broth (like it's supposed to be) I would have enjoyed it more. But the "hot pot" ($22) was more like a giant stir fry swimming in soy sauce mixture. I did like the presentation though and the rice was nice. I'm glad there's an Asian stall but seeing them boil ramen packages like I do at home and then charge $15 is not what I call good eats. Again, not sure what's normal and what's changed due to the hurricane. I would like to come back and give it another shot.
