Ramen Koika has launched their limited time-only Prime Rib Ramen as their special for the next few months. They are anticipating this will stay on the menu for another 2-3 months as it’s been quite popular.
We were invited to try the prime rib ramen out for dinner.
Prime Rib Ramen
The prime rib ramen is $15.95 and it comes with a piece of AAA Prime Rib, onion, cabbage, wood ear mushroom, bean sprouts, and tonkotsu soup base with triple black garlic oil.
You can get the broth non-spicy, mild, or spicy. If you want more meat, you can add another piece of prime rib for $4.95.
I went with spicy tonkotsu broth for mine and you can definitely tell its spicy with all those red peppers. Spicy has a good amount of spice for me but it does build up over time.
My husband got mild and it also had a hint of spice which wasn’t bad at all either.
They give you a plastic glove to handle your prime rib if you want to use your hands to devour this big bone. The meat is very tender and full of flavour. Definitely the best part of the meal.
If you love meat and have a big appetite, I would suggest getting 2 ribs instead of 1.
We both got our noodles to be cooked more firm so it has more texture and chew.
Final Thoughts
The prime rib ramen isn’t a traditional ramen but it is Koika’s twist on ramen. It has more of a Korean taste profile to the ramen rather than Japanese especially with the spices used. Good to see some diversity in Vancouver’s ramen scene.
