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.

I simply cannot imagine ordering anything other than their Curry Ramen bowl from this point forward. Like one would legitimately be insane not to get it, provided you are an average fan of standard Thai-style curries like Red, Panang, or even Las Vegas style Three-color (Red+Green+Yellow). My suggested mod: Ask for your home-crafted noodles a little extra "QQ" or chewy al dente. And ask for a side of their home-made chili oil to step up the Szechuan influence. Normally I shun the fusion or "new-style" menu items, but this Curry Ramen bowl is stuff of dreams. Perfectly executed, temperature hot, unforgettably umami, and the exact drinkable curry broth viscosity that is no accident. This bowl is a champion, folks!

Tried again, not much has changed…read more Been a while, decided to come in again and get some of their other dishes. The entrance and actual restaurant are still not easy to spot. The dining area is still very sparse in design and coverage. The wait staff were still apathetic, and the wait times for things is still a little long. The Korean fried chicken was very tasty, sweet and salty Korean bbq sauce on perfectly fried wings was delightful. We opted for the pho, and that was very good. The broth was rich and flavorful, no need to season it was perfect already. The brisket was tender and still had a strong brisket flavor. There was a good amount of meat to the bowl and the noodles were fresh. The noodles did clump a bit, but they easily separated when agitated. All of the sushi was not as successful. The rolls lacked any significant flavor and missed some basic elements of sushi preparation. The rice was not seasoned, was not sticky, and the fish was roughly cut. The spicy rolls lacked spice and the crunchy rolls lacked crunch. It was presented well, just didn't show the level of care the front of the menu had. We informed our server of the sushi problems and she apologized but still charged us for all the sushi. Making an otherwise great experience not so great. I would recommend those who come here to focus on the front of the menu exclusively. Those dishes are stellar and are well worth the asking price. The sushi menu on the back is basic in flavor, pricy, and only worth having if you really need sushi. It does limit their menu significantly, but the quality difference is drastic.

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.

We went on a weekend night and it was pretty quiet. Overall may come back if in the area but wouldn't go out of the way for it.

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. I usually prefer noodles with a slightly buttery texture and a bit more slip. The chicken was well seasoned with subtle hints of anise that reminded me of pho. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It's a close contender to Menya Gumi's paitan, but I still prefer Menya Gumi just a little more.

I forgot to review it then, but after our visit today, I could not forget again because our waiter Miguel was so great. They have a large sushi menu along with many different ramen broth options, so there is a lot to choose from. For my gluten-free peeps, they also have a gluten-free menu, gluten-free sauces, and tamari, which I really appreciated. My partner absolutely loves bao buns, and I really enjoy the sushi here. Overall, it is a great spot with good food, helpful service, and plenty of options. We will definitely return.

We decided to have dinner there tonight. Rainy day perfect for a ramen…read more There were 9 of us. There were available seats and tables for us. We immediately ordered as we know what we all wanted. The menu was clear and easy to understand for first timers. Not me though. Been here before. I recommend the TanTan Mazemen - noodles no broth with fresh cucumber, corn, cilantro, onion, ground pork, peanuts. What an entree. Topped with fried egg. I also enjoyed the Kaliubon dumplings and my staple pork bao. The rest of the group ordered Kaliubon Ramen, chicken poke, miso ramen, and curry ramen! We all enjoyed our dinner! The place is in the busy area of blue back square. Parking is a tough one. Street parking or ramp parking. Sunday - you don't have to pay parking. The place could get very busy as they serve really good food for a reasonable price. Clean place and enough seats. Like i said, i've been here many times and i always come here if i crave for ramen!

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!

Driving into the plaza...the sidewalk is a bit lifted from the road, so expect it to be a bit bumpy coming in and out of the lot. Walking inside it was a cutely decorated shop with Anime themed wall art. There was a good amount of seating in this small shop as well. We sat down and ordered the iron man roll, so ramen roll, house ramen and Shabu Shabu beef ramen. It took about 20-39 mins for the food to come out but I believe there is just one cook working. The rolls were delicious and I really like their So Ramen roll. It was creamy and crunchy. My house ramen was also really good and I enjoyed it. My fiancé thought his ramen was a bit bland. But that might just be his opinion on ramen overall. Each item runs about $14 to $20 each. So a meal for 2 can run you about at minimum $40. Overall we enjoyed our time here and would come back.

We…read morestopped into a new ramen shop near my alma mater, and I've got to say: where was this twenty years ago? (I know where. The strip mall that was here was either condemned or nonexistent. I forget which.) Being CCSU s spring break, there wasn't much going on. That is, we saw a few pickups and DoorDash orders, but we had the full restaurant to ourselves. The waitress was quick, but the to-go orders left us waiting (totally normal, not a complaint.) First, the good: the ramen is a sizable portion. You can tell it's all made from scratch. It's not the saltiest thing you'll ever eat. The spicy is actually spicy, if you mix in all the chili paste they leave resting on the fish cake. I grabbed my chopsticks and dug in, and I was glad I got the $3.50 milk tea on the side (you get it for cheap with a bowl), though I found it very sweet. The pork in my ramen was crispy on the sliver of crust, and the rest was cooked to perfection. Many other places can do it like that, but if they'd messed that up, they'd lose some points. The bad is a very short list. Our ramen had vermicelli or angel hair instead of, you know, ramen noodles. Maybe that's their thing? All in all, a soup place next to the up-the-hill dorms is just what I needed decades ago. I'm rarely up that way these days, but I'd totally stop here even in the summer.

The only thing I did not enjoy was the flavor of the dan dan mien has changed- it had a much stronger mala flavor than the last time I had it, which made it a harder to eat and enjoy. The noodles were extremely thin so I wonder if their current recipe for the sauce is more suitable for a thicker and less absorbant noodle. I enjoy mala but this definitely felt much less balanced than what we had here previously. Besides the mala being a little overpowering, our other dishes and drinks came out great and we were satisfied with our meal.
