I used to eat here years ago whenever I was in Vancouver. The ramen was excellent, and great value. But now they took a nose dive. The ramen just doesn't taste as good anymore...
Service can be quick or slow, it depends what time you get there.
Even though it doesn't taste as good, you'll be full for less than $10.
Decor is so-so... I prefer to see the chefs actually working like at Benkei or Kintaro.

So on June 20, 2008, I did some research and went to Ezogiku for Ramen after bad experience at Gyoza King.
I ordered Charshu Ramen for $7.69 and added gyoza for $1.50. The Ramen tasted ok, and fair amount of charsh as well with some veggies (bok-choy). There are 4 pieces of gyoza. They tasted just like those frozen ones you can buy at T&T, and the skin was broken....
I'm not a tough rater at all, just can't find a place that can satisfy me. I would come again if I ran out of choices, which I highly doubt that.

We used to go there a lot. Since their reopen, I notice the portion has gone smaller and I had a suspicion of change of ownership. It’s just not as good as it used to be.
Before, I would have no room for the tasty broth after eating the noodles, now, I can finish the noodles and drink all the broth. It’s not good value for the same price any more. And, what happened to the veggie noodles? I was having problem finding it on the menu. The veggie& chicken is the closest I can get some veggies, and the cubed chicken had no taste at all. I couldn’t eat it and had to pick it out. The broth is still good, but the portion is so inconsistent and the topping got stingy. My hubby ordered BBQ pork ramen and there was only half small baby bok choy besides the pork. What a shock to see how sparse the topping is now.
We are thinking about trying other noodle places on Robson.

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.

A fantastic place for lunch and huge portions of great noodles/udons etc. If you go for lunch, prepare to take an hour or more because it is SLOW. If you show up at 12:10, forget about getting a seat - packed! Go on off times, and the service is much better and a nice quiet place to enjoy a big bowl of various noodles! Mmmmmm...
