Reviews of Menya Jiro Harvard
"A decent ramen spot in Harvard Square good for a quick meal. Overshadowed by other ramen options in the area, Menya Jiro hasn’t been under my radar for a while, but I recently took visits to take advantage of their weekday deals. All the appetizers I tried were great. The crispy chicken skin skewer, takoyaki, and shrimp tempura all delivered on expectations, offering great taste and value. However, the main courses don't quite follow through with the same impact. The beef curry don was a bit off-kilter in its proportions, with an imbalance between sauce, toppings, and rice.The Sakurajima ramen also failed to impress. The mixed pork and chicken broth lacked the rich, deep flavor, and while the chashu brought some smokiness to the dish, it couldn't quite elevate the overall mediocrity of the ramen. Menya Jiro also has weekday deals, such as free appetizers with an entrée on Mondays and Tuesdays and free desserts on Thursdays. This strategy, likely aimed at drawing in more customers on quieter days, added some appeal to my past two visits. In an area like Harvard Square, which isn't short on good ramen joints, Menya Jiro doesn't stand out as a top choice. The restaurant seems to have lost some of its initial allure and now sits in the shadow of more popular establishments. It's a feasible option for those seeking a quick and reasonably priced meal, but there are better options available in the vicinity. As it stands, Menya Jiro is decent, but with the competitive dining scene in Harvard Square, I’m not sure how long it will last."
"The food was okay, and service was pretty quick, especially given that it was getting close to closing. A misunderstanding on my part thought the "extra toppings" that comes on a deluxe meant more of what's there not additional new toppings, so if you're a picky eater like me it might be worth skipping the upgrade. The bowl itself was fine but nothing really remarkable overall, though I am a fan of the fattier chashu. The slice of pork in the bun was on the thin side (especially since the bun is fluffy) but it wasn't too bad. The karaage was definitely on the spicier side - get the regular if you have a lower spice tolerance."
"It is just okay! The broth was mild and the spice was not so rich! It was just alright - the whole experience! I got Delux Sakurajama Ramen - and it was a huge ramen but the flavors didnt combine together"
"Just okay. Broth was decently flavored, cha siu was good, noodles were okay, and toppings are as you expect. These are noodle dishes that get by with a passing score. Nothing super special about the flavors and textures. They do fill you up and satisfy a ramen craving, but there are definitely better options out there. The calamari was also mediocre. Somehow came out cold and the calamari was not as soft as I would expect. I think the Ibusuki was the best dish on the table bc of its deeper flavors (of garlic) and better balance in textures. Service was questionable but the place is pretty clean and minimal. Overall consensus : meh. Just a one time visit."
"What's more heartwarming than a nice bowl of steaming hot ramen on a cloudy day… NOTHING THAT'S WHAT! Menya Jiro is here to give you the warmth you need in the cool summer days. I started off with the Pork belly buns and Chicken Karaage. You know when people talk about a satisfying mouth feel? These pork belly buns, they have that. The soft texture of the bao bun and the melt in your mouth tender pork belly, these are so satisfying to bite into and you can taste the sweet honey and brown sugar glaze on them. Next is the Chicken Karaage, Crispy, good fried chicken. Nothing to write home about but you can’t go wrong with japanese fried chicken. For the Ramen I had gotten the Sakurajima which is a spicy mixed broth of both chicken and pork. It’s topped with deliciously tender slices of Cha shu, scallion, bean sprouts, and fried garlic. This… This was an excellent bowl of ramen. It wasn't too spicy and hit all the right flavors for me, the umami, salty, savory notes made me empty this bowl in record time. Next time I would definitely get an egg on the side with it. Recommendations: Pork belly buns, Sakurajima ramen with an egg on the side."
