The ramen was fantastic, but honestly, the service was even better. Everything came out super quickly, the restaurant was spotless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp tempura ramen and it was SO good. The shrimp tempura stayed crispy, the broth was flavorful, and the portion was generous. We also got the edamame, which tasted really fresh with the perfect crisp bite to it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to fully commit to the spicy garlic sauce, so I asked for it on the side... and immediately fell in love with it. We ended up dipping EVERYTHING in it, including the dumplings, which were absolutely delicious. My friend ordered a boba tea without the boba and really enjoyed it. They also got a sushi roll, and I tried some of the California roll myself. Sometimes all you want is a nice, fresh piece of sushi, and this definitely delivered. Also, points for serving the Diet Coke in a bottle. Nothing is worse than an inconsistent fountain! If we're ever back in the New Haven/Hamden area, this will absolutely be our go-to ramen spot. We'll definitely be back!

The broth was flavorful and not too salty or sweet. I didn't have to add any hoisin sauce or siracha; I only added in a squeeze of lime.

In terms of other items would say the portion sizes are a bit smaller than the large noodle portions etc you can get at other places. The dumplings seemed very good.

I went for lunch last week and Param Noodle. It was absolutely packed with flavor. The rich creamy peanut sauce made my mouth sing with joy. The flat noodles were cooked perfectly and the chopped peanuts on topped added just the right texture contrast needed for the dish. I added chicken for my protein and the white meat chicken was moist and tender. I was so pleased I went back the next day for lunch with a friend. She order the Pla Rad Prik (spice level 4 peppers), and I ordered the garlic fried rice. She had never been and thoroughly enjoyed the food.

The development there has come a long way over the last few years, making it a great destination for a quick lunch or a sit-down dinner. Plus, having plenty of parking in a modern, well-maintained square is a massive win--no circling the block looking for a spot here. While the name promises "Bao," I haven't ventured into that side of the menu just yet. Why? Because the Ramen is too good to pass up. The Meat Soup (Ramen) is my go-to. The broth is rich, savory, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of "fantastic" comfort food you want on a chilly Connecticut day. The meat is tender and the portions are satisfying. If you're in the Oxford area and looking for authentic flavors in a clean, modern setting, this is the place. It's easy to get to, easy to park, and the soup never misses.

It was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, the kind of meal that just hits on a cold, rainy day. I wasn't entirely sure what type of noodles they used.

It's a close contender to Menya Gumi's paitan, but I still prefer Menya Gumi just a little more.

Then came the gyudon and it was nearly as I remember from my time in Japan. Very glad they had togarashi as I always enjoy a little extra kick in bowl! To finish had to go with the green tea cheese cake which was also highly recommended by the staff. It hit the spot to close out the meal. The Thai iced coffee came in a to go cup to sip through my meal and wall out with which is always a plus for the drive home! Only downside here has nothing to do with the food, it is just a little warm in the dining area so be mindful of how many layers you come in wearing. The menu has plenty of variety to meet your dining needs and look forward to coming back in when in the area! Well done Donburiya!

I like the other restaurant so I figured if BP is even better than that place then I have to try it. It's also not far from me so I quickly decided to check it out. Happy I did. Everything I got was delicious! I ordered the pumpkin curry with beef and a Thai tea with no ice to go. The Thai tea is the best I've ever had and that's no exaggeration. It is sweeter than others I've tried but I have a sweet tooth so that's actually one of the things I like best about it. It may not be for you if you like your tea less sweet. The pumpkin curry was so good! The beef was really tender. I have nothing negative to say about either the food or drink. I will def be back and I will be trying so much more. I will, especially, be taking advantage of their weekday lunch specials. Stay tuned for an updated review once I've gone a few more times but judging from this first visit, I know I will continue to be impressed.

Very relaxed atmosphere and you're never felt like you're being rushed to finish and leave, like so many other restaurants.

Two of our party are vegan and as such cannot eat/have certain items. This was not a problem at all here! The service here is impeccable too. So polite and appreciative of your business.
