Love the Ramen from this place. Not so fond of the other Foo. 

 

Any other Ramen recoomendations in Victoria? All I can ever find is Pho.

There are not a lot of choices for ramen in Victoria unfortunately.

If you don't mind driving to Gordon Head, there is Kuma Ramen, located in a small plaza near Cedar Hill Cross Road and Shelbourne Street.  They don't seem to have a web site.

the Next Japanese restaurant in Cook Street has ramen for lunch. I think it's miso based.

Good reviews on Yelp, also http://www.yelp.ca/b...-japan-victoria  I'll have to try this out when I'm back in Vic...


Say, what's that mountain goat doing up here in the mist?

Tried the Foo Ramen Bar Battleship Curry last night but it wasn't very good. Didn't seem like a curry dish at all.

Foo Ramen is closed. I finally tried it or the first time last week!

Looks like Foo is keeping the space though. Sign in the window says they are taking advantage of the months of water main work on Broughton and they’ll be launching the next Foo concept in a couple of months.

That's too bad but it's understandable. Foo Ramen used to be great but I found they scaled back the menu and quality over the years. Now that there are many more ramen options in town, the loss is muted.

I hope they use the space to launch Foo 2: Only Butter Chicken and Fry Bread.

I loved the food when they first opened, but holy cow was it ever hot in there. Summer sun + full front windows + hot soup = a real gross eating experience.

They will be back with something. You'd be a foo if you think it's over.

Their ramen was extremely mediocre. With the many good ramen places that have opened over the last two years they were doomed.

It has a whole new look!
