The Best Budget Ramen, only 2 USD!

Hello, friends especially foodies!
On Sunday after the Sunday Service, I went to the restaurant to have some lunch. It was almost 1 pm and I was getting hungry. I soon got an idea to have ramen as my lunch and lucky for me, there was a Japanese Food restaurant nearby.

The restaurant named Gokana and it had ramen and teppan as its’ specialist.

On its’ front there was a banner which showed the latest ramen menus they produced like tantanmen ramen, chicken collagen ramen, truffle smoked beef dry ramen and also garlic butter crispy shrimp dry ramen.
Inside of it was clean and neat, their dining room was quite wide and bright too. It had some empty seats luckily cause when I entered, ordered and paid, right after that the room was full. I couldn’t imagine I couldn’t eat my craved ramen though.
Here was the dining room when I entered it

These were what happened later



I thought perfect lucky timing made everything better!
GOKANA had so many dishes you could choose from their menu book, but of course they had their ramen and teppan as their most menu.


The choices of menu that they offered:
• For Ramen, they had the choices such as their new Chicken Collagen Ramen (in original or spicy), Beef or Chicken Hot Ramen which you could choose the level of spiciness between 1 until 4, Beef or Chicken Soyu Ramen, Beef or Chicken Miso Ramen, Beef or Chicken Curry Collagen Ramen, Beef or Chicken Ramen Teppan, Abura Ramen Beef or Chicken in Original or Spicy, Beef Sumo Ramen in Original or Spicy, and Beef or Chicken Sumo Dry Ramen.
• For the Premium Don, you could choose between 3 choices of Chicken Don, Beef Wagyu Don and Beef Saikoro Don, all in Original or Spicy.
• They also had Gokana Packages which had rice with Chicken or Beef Teriyaki or Yakiniku with Fry Mix.
• They also sold Bento package which were Katsu Bento and Chicken Original Bento.
• For the Special Package they had rice with Beef or Chicken Teppan and Fry Mix, Chicken Steak and Ebimaki, plus Beef or Chicken Teriyaki and Hanenakami.
• They had chicken nanban and chicken katsu curry rice.
• If you don’t want to have rice, they also sold their teppanyaki ala carte.
• And if you want to try their dish with the choices of ebimaki, marumi, egg roll, cheesy fish roll, gyoza or spicy chicken which was only 2 pieces a portion (mini portion), you could only pay 0.7 USD for these additional.
• For the drink I wouldn’t talk much cause in Japanese Food Restaurant I usually have Ocha, but this time they sold it out so I would like to try the type of thicker ocha that they sold, it named Genmaicha, let me tell you how it tasted later!
There in the restaurant I needed to order and pay before the food served in my table. For my lunch I only paid 45K IDR or not even 3 USD, and it was included the Original Beef Sumo Ramen and Iced Genmaicha.

While waiting for my order to come, I took their welcome snack on one of the corner. This was free and it was everybody’s favorite.

The chips were savory and crunchy but not hard, it was so tasty, no wonder many took it as much as possible.


After around 10-15 minutes of waiting, my food and drink were delivered to my table.

Now let me tell you one by one of the taste and flavour of my food and drink
The main dish I ordered ORIGINAL BEEF SUMO RAMEN






This ramen had some toppings as its’ compliment, such as minced beef, mushroom, egg, seaweed and Chinese leak. When I tasted it, hmmh, the broth was so good, it had savory tasty flavour and was so deep. The noodle had curly a bit large texture, chewy but it was soft too, so yummy and beyond expectation. Unfortunately the beef they gave were too small but it really didn’t make the ramen I had tasted less tasty. It also had perfect egg. I really admire how they cooked this ramen, cause all of the components made it even tastier. Oishii!
Look at how I finished my ramen that day, even no soup left in my bowl :9 slurp!

And the drink I ordered GENMAICHA


It was no ordinary ocha, cause like they said it was a thicker one. The one that made you missed the real taste of ocha, it had bitter taste of the real ocha and so fresh. You could say this one was the real ocha.
Surely I recommend to all of you both of their ORIGINAL BEEF SUMO RAMEN and also GENMAICHA!
