Kaedama Noodle Bar

Solid for what it is - an airport ramen bar in Newark. Started with the Rainbow Roll, which was more room temperature than I expected it to be, but it was well proportioned with fresh ingredients. Moved onto the Pork Shoyu Ramen, which was fine. Noodles were overcooked and mushy, the other ingredients were well executed and the broth was standard, not a lot of depth. Service was timely, friendly and professional. They didn't have the exact wine I ordered on the tablet, but the waiter made up for it.

This is what it looks like after waiting 45min. Notice the lack of food. Or even water…I’m only staying because I’m curious to actually experience a contender for worst in food service at EWR. So it’s honestly bad on both ends, ramen and sushi’s historically aren’t dishes that take 45min…and it generally doesn’t take 45min to get water. So that’s a well earned L for bother service and the kitchen.

Skip this place if you can. The stories on here are true. My partner and I ordered two bowls of ramen. After 25 minutes someone ran up and dropped off one cling wrap covered bowl before running off immediately. We waited another 20 minutes for our second bowl but never got it. The button to summon help did not seem to work. When my partner finally tracked down help, the person apologised and said this has been happening and promised a refund, but based on what I see on here I doubt we will get it. My partner said the ramen was adequate, but missing the egg. $20 a bowl for adequate ramen and no service is ludicrous. Update: They did refund our meal after my partner contacted them again online
