For the second time (slow learner me)I tried the new reopened Ezogiku Noodle Cafe on Robson only because I had a card to claim and I thought they may have just had a short term problem. Prior to their closing I eat there with friends at least once a week. I had tried shortly after they reopened and I had found the food then to be terrible but I was a bit under the weather so I thought it was me. But today I went back with some friends and found out that the quality of the food is terrible. A friend who was just back from Honolulu where he had gone to the Ezogiku there and it was as before —great. If you read there counter card that now list all the additions that were included before you will read that the change is for a more traditional Ramen, —heifer dust. What they make taste like the stuff you get in a package maybe the tradition is to make Ramen taste like it was made in cellophane. The poor waitress was rushed off her feet, I am sure she thanked God when some customer tired of waiting drank their water then just left. The new design is good but not worth the visit. So much for improvements.
