While looking for late-night eats in SLC, Ramen Legend caught my eye. While some of the reviews…read morewere mixed, the photos looked promising. Since it was late, parking was a breeze. We parked in the lot by Barnes & Noble and walked over. The interior of the restaurant was super cute, and I loved the tall ceiling. There was plenty of seating and I liked the open kitchen. I've always enjoyed watching kitchen staff work their magic while preparing our dishes. We were greeted and seated promptly. I already had an idea of what I wanted to order, and so did my husband. We were here strictly for the ramen, but there are also rice bowls and sushi if ramen isn't your thing. I went with the mega pork ramen and added black garlic oil, while my husband went with the tan tan men. While we waited, we watched as several other parties also arrived for a late dinner. Even though there was only one server, she was quite efficient. It didn't take very long for our food to arrive, and we were eager to dig in. We asked for chili powder on the side, which our server was a little confused about, but finally understood and brought us some in a little dish. I was a little surprised they didn't have the powder at each table like at other ramen restaurants I've been to. I immediately noticed the layer of oil (not the black garlic oil, the red oil) on top of both of our ramen. It was thicker than I would have liked, but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and mixed it in with the rest of the broth. The flavor of the broth was fine. It was decent if this was your first experience with ramen, but as someone who has had plenty of top tier ramen spots in the Bay Area and Sacramento, the broth wasn't memorable. Honestly, the layer of oil was also what threw the balance off. The noodles were bouncy and chewy, and the meat was tender. My favorite cut was the pulled pork chashu. The egg was yolky but not as seasoned as a proper ajitama should have been. My husband had similar remarks about his tan tan men, but at least we agreed that both of our bowls, while not spectacular, were consistent and cohesive as dishes. Ramen Legend, to us, seemed like the kind of spot that attracts patrons due to its centralized location, but it was definitely not the best ramen I've had.

It was honestly some of the worst ramen I've ever had, and I mean it in the most respectful way!…read moreThe server and environment was great. I ordered "spicy beef ramen" and it came with a weird after taste, with my lips and tongue feeling "weird". I don't believe it was because of the spice, as I eat a lot of spicy foods. Compared to the other ramen I've had, something was just off

10/5 best meal in SLC must eat if you're in the area. We had the works: drinks, tapas, and desserts…read morebut the tapas were the highlight. Each dish was thoughtfully curated with fantastic, unique, and flavorful sauce profiles. My favorite was the fried chicken upon a small bed of congee- the crispy nuts and other toppings were mouth watering the textures was simply *chefs kiss*. Steak and French pie pizza were great as well. The only dish we would probably skip next time is the oink oink, pork was on the tad dry side. Our server Aaron was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend Eva! Wooow

Every once in a while, a restaurant serves something that makes you will remember forever. For me,…read moreit was the calamari steak at Eva. Where has this been all my life? Why am I only now discovering that calamari can graduate from appetizer status? Eva has built a reputation as one of Salt Lake City's favorite small-plates spots, tucked into a cozy downtown space with a Mediterranean type menu. The mushroom pizza was equally dangerous. Earthy and rich. Between the pizza and that calamari steak, this little spot has officially joined my SLC favorites list.
